b.d.a.y.
no idea why I am still awake at this hour. feeling lonely + pathetic.First birthday in UK. Feels loved from all the wishes on my mobile, MSN + Facebook. Thank you everyone who remembered.
Woke up fairly early and got ready to follow Uncle+Dearie out. While they settled their matters, I walked around Luton's Arndale Centre and stocked up some toiletries as well as got myself two pairs of bedroom slippers. Went back home and started fixing Rich's notebook driver problems.
Finally it worked. Did spend quite some time on it. Was also finalising the software+updates on Uncle's laptop. Somehow I became an IT technician these past two days. I actually enjoy doing it but hates it when things don't work. Can't ignore the problems either because it's just stuck somewhere at the back of my brain. I go through such crazy procedures to get everything working.
Why am I not applying this attitude towards my work? I am trying very hard. (SOB)
Gathered at a M'sian restaurant for the birthday dinner somewhere quite far from Luton. I think the place was called Welwyn Garden City. Dishes were good, taste very close to home. There was a band playing at the restaurant and there was a birthday song request. The whole restaurant patrons started singing birthday song(paiseh).
I don't think I even made a wish before blowing out the candle. Just didn't think of it. Sigh. Oh well, too late for that now. Thanks to Uncle John, Aunt Margaret, Uncle Bryan, Aunt Irene, William, RIchard, Sharon+Dearie for celebrating with me.
Dearie footed the bill and got shocked stares from everyone. HAHA. Was funny to look at their expressions really, even though I'd already expected that to happen.
Okay. It's good that I am feeling sleepy now. Happy Birthday to myself now...belated(because it's a quarter to 2:00a.m.)
