it is the most memorable birthday i ever had in my life so far... never expect it to happen when i am 30!

i would like to thank my wife and kids for wishing me a happy birthday!

received quite a number of SMSes just after midnight and today! thank you all of your well wishes! in chronological order of the SMSes received, i would like to thank kit yeng, li xuan, aswin, serene, casuarine, jasper, adelaine, josie, grace, nathania, jane, esther, ziqin, christina, melinda, chiu ping, jasmine, cecilina, wan ying, shana and jia ying! :D

my whole family celebrated moses' (christian's good friend) 4th birthday today at the clubhouse and I was very surprised when yvonne and david (moses' parents) baked a cake for me as well! I am thankful to them for their wonderful gift as well! just what i need to fulfill the goal i set to be a GREAT father! another book on parenting! it's called "shepherding a child's heart" by tedd tripp! cant wait to read all about it! :D

the biggest surprise and "conspiracy" finally came in the evening!! i was kept in the dark for months... since the time my wife exchanged numbers with my students during the mid atumn festival (oct) until now, they had been planning all these while... the phoney "game briefing" on the last day of school, the stay over at jasmine place, the weird SMSes from kit yeng, my wife's weird response to a call during dinner, the noise from a large group of people who sounded so familiar, walking up the long flight of stairs outside my house... i was suspecting something when i heard the noise but i thought it was impossible... until i heard the door bell rang and i saw my beloved form class (301!) standing at the door!! they came in and before i know it, i had crazy ribbons sprayed all over me and i was presented with their home-baked choc cake and a gigantic card that has their signatures and our class photo! it was really very touching and wonderful at that moment in time!! i am really thankful for the people who came... it was really wonderful to see every one of them!!

thank you jasmine for organising the surprise party! really appreciate it! thank you for lending your kitchen and place for the experimentation of the birthday cake! it was delicious! dont know who helped in the baking but i am thankful for everyone who was involved!

thank you annabel for the red hot letter and for playing with my kids and teaching ekklesia and ariel to make the cards for me! :D

thank you andaline, borui, huiyu, nathania, serene and wan ying for the personalised pen!
