the one when badrul celebrated his birthday...
introduction...
talking about going for seafood this coming weekend with bunch of friends triggered my memory on the day i celebrated my birthday... it was years ago, but the memory stick in my mind like it was just yesterday... oh ya, before i sambung cerita, someone tanya about 'the type' of my blog... ya lah kan, kita ada blog kebun pisang, blog sm, blog entertainment, blog itu dan blog ini... and leen pernah mention pasal blog nih blog friends... yup, i have to agree with leen.. blog nih adalah blog friends... tapi i won't call it central perks, i promise... hahahahaa...
ok, back to the story... masa tuh i ingat, ada small friction in the office... orang nih tak tahan cara orang tuh bekerja, orang nih bitchy lah, orang tuh slow lah... macam-macam... kalau dulu we all selalu keluar sama-sama, very helpful with each other, but because of work pressure, ramai yang tak berapa sehaluan... i was upset too, so i've decided to do something about it... and what was more appropriate than to celebrate my birthday...
the plan...
i hantar invitation via email to about 30 people in the office... mula-mula tuh, only about 10 people yang reply ok... i was quite upset, so i used the most powerful weapon ever - 'threat'... hahahah.. i told them 'this gonna be the last time i will celebrate my birthday, and if you miss this, there will be no more...' hahahaa...
in the end, lebih dari 30 orang yang pergi... yahooo.. 7, 8 buah kereta convoy ramai-ramai from office... me, shonny, kudsia, farahbi, anita, jezamin, jasmin, sonia, tina, jeanne, amy, naomi, seelan, carol, siti, alfred, rostam, julie, kevin, jeya, clifford, neal, aaron, erin bin bin, ee ling, ian, david, edmund, willie, rheece, nila, season, terence, hafiz, norra and boy...
the dinner...
it was wonderful! thinking about that night, i get goose-bumps (hey, other than on top of my head yang botak nih, i got hairs somewhere else too, k)... everyone was having fun... singing birthday song as loud as possible, splashing water to each other, or me to be exact... plus tons of marmite crabs (with eggs), chilli crabs, buttered prawns, singapore mee hoon, fishes, mantis prawns, and some sayur stuff to feed the hungry mouth and empty stomach...
david, ee ling, aaron, willie, erin and shonny...
jezamin, sonia, jasmin and siti... kekenyangan...
rheece, jeanne, amy and naomi...
neal, edmund n willie...
seelan, little syanisa n nila yang tengah pening kepala makan ketam banyak sangat...
jeanne n tina...
anita, farahbi, kudsia dan yang terbaring tuh, tina...
season and norra... salute to all...
my birthday present? well, i dapat one quicksilver shirt, issey miyake (my favourite!) and a seed wallet...
opening birthday presents...
seriously, i tak kisah sangat dengan hadiah tuh, but, the most wonderful gift ever was, whole bunch of my friends sit together, makan sama-sama, enjoy each other's company and for once, put aside any differences...
i always believe, kadang-kadang, a simple gesture will be able change the whole world...what a night... yup... what a night!
my birthday surprise...
will update other pix later... (nak kena sensored some... hahaha)
