A bride-to-be's Birthday Celebation

Last Saturday, 27 August, I celebrated my birthday with some colleagues and friends even if my real birthday falls on the 30th. They wanted to celebrate it early so more people can join. I really enjoyed the party to the max! We did it at the poolside of my condo so that people can swim anytime (but nobody swam). Gin cooked red sauce for spaghetti and I did the white sauce and the ground pork filling for the tacos. My officemates brought the toffee banofee cake, chocolate cake, drinks, salad and other food. I was very tired but it was fun. They were surprised when I gave each of them a gift -- a CD with compilation of good songs I really like (hehehhe). I am sure they will like it. I've received many nice gifts from them like a new set of bed sheets (yahoo!), Shanghai Tang shawl from my boss (really expensive), necklace from Hui and cute Hello Kitty pillow from Ton and his wife. Post pool party, everyone transferred to my unit and continued to party there. Lynne, my boss, ended the night by making everyone say something really nice about me. I was so tired and yet happy. I missed Joey so much. I wish he was there with me to complete my day. This is my last birthday of being single and I did enjoy the celebration. Looking forward to my birthdays spent with Joey!
