happy birthday to me
chinese new year 2006 a.k.a. "night of bao", as cindy so cunningly coined it. baos INDEED. and leen goh too! alison you should have been there! thon and G made some fantastic leen goh. ok so these photos are stolen from cindy, with more on facebook:
let's see, we have from R-L: indonesia, beijing, thailand, japan, hong kong
(with malaysian taking the photo! not bad, eh.)
me and G a little too eager to eat the baos.
back-track a little, as me and yaohua are making the baos.
first time to make them actually.. so easy and so fun!
the girls, with aggressive japanese at the end :)
thon and G in wonton action!
dozens of those babies were made.
and now onto..
BIRTHDAY PHOTOS! all you can eat sushi at kanda tonight:
my arab dietetics friends! they were the reason we had kanda, they were all craving sushi, haha.
my roommates.. being themselves. ahahaha.
me and kanna
elisa and kanna
kanna i love this photo of you!
and i cracked up SO BAD when i saw this, because it was from thon.
only in thailand can you find something as cool as this.
the food tonight.. not bad actually. was so skeptical! but it was fun. i got a mini scoop of green tea ice cream with a candle stuck in the middle. it was so cute.
i got some really cool e-cards as well!!! and emails and msgs on facebook. good old automatic birthday reminders. whatever it takes to get people to.. ahaha. and my parents called this morning! they had just got back from their CNY trip to bangkok. lucky people. and my bro called too! except i missed his call. and alisono! perhaps we can chat tomorrow??? sorry i missed your call, i was on the phone but then hung up so i could receive yours but then. i was too late. hehe.
oh! this is mary, the lady i have been volunteering for! the loveliest and most hilarious british woman tv-desperate housewives-fan you'd ever meet. she slipped 5 pounds into my christmas card for my london trip!!! this morning was my last time volunteering, as i won't be able to when stage starts. we'll be keeping in touch though for sure.
ok i better sleep. can't believe it's weds already. my "reading week" is going to fly by, sigh. i better start to prep for stage so i freak (only slightly) less when it all hits, ha!
but, a blessed day indeed.
thanks everyone. you are all so awesome.
:)
