Surprises =)

Gotten quite a few surprises these couple of days, all pleasant!=)

First of all, thanks for all the well wishes that i've gotten from all of you on my 28th Day of Life Gift (it's a description i picked up from a novel, nicely reflecting the fact that being alive is the greatest gift). Really appreciate the kind thoughts and gestures. =>

Thanks to mei for arranging the little get together with hong and jia. =) Haven't seen them for nearly 2 years. Mei didn't even let me in the bag that they are joining us for dinner on tues. Yes mei, you caught me off-balanced there. I was really surprised to see jia strolling into Coffee Bean at Scotts smiling at me since i wasn't expecting anyone else except mei.

Hong came in couple of mins later after jia and our gathering was completed with mei arriving in just a little while. Nice simple dinner completed with a cup of warm coffee. Simplicity is beauty after all and the simplest pleasures in life can be so uplifting for our spirits. Updated one another with recent and not-so-recent happenings and most of our conversation revolved around our travels. =) Nice catching up, we should do it more often. =)

Btw mei, nice gift! It's the first time i received a gift of that colour. You are one of those people that doesn't fail to surprise. =) And ya, how can i not write something for hong and jia as well? Thanks for the little surprise you gave me at Borders. It's awfully nice of you both. =)

On thurs when i meet up with Qin, i got another surprise. Yup, qin gave me a gift that a guy like me could never have guessed it coming. Total surprise for me once again! Haha, i'm not gonna put down what are the gifts that i have gotten so far from mei and qin. You can go ahead and guess all you want. =P

Anyway, back to it. Gotten dinner with qin at Eclectic Attic, it's a small concept store on level 5 of Plaza Singapura (besides Spotlight) selling very unique furnitures and accessories. Food is reasonably priced and most importantly, thumbs up for the service and the ambient! Nice and cosy. Nice easy evening with qin and did quite a bit of catching up as well. Qin, thanks again for the surprise! =)

Additional thanks - 14th Oct
Just a bit of editing to do on this post. Like to give my thanks and gratitude to another 4 persons for their lovely gift. They are qiang, hao, mark and yin. Gift came right in just when i was about to get a similiar one myself. Couldn't have it at a better timing than this. Thanks fellas! =)
