The writer does not intend to but tends to make silly remarks that make others laugh. Sometimes she enjoys this unintentional trait of hers, and sometimes she detests it. But nevertheless, she loves to laugh at silly things, both good and bad, mostly little silly things, because she finds that life is too short to spend it sulking away. She also tends to be sarcastic with her words because the subtlety of dry humour makes her laugh even more and lightheartedly at those who "just don't get it."

Princess birthday gifts
Saturday, March 18, 2006
To tell the truth, I think I much rather enjoyed this year's birthday celebrations, as compared to last year's, even though one's 21st should be the most memorable one. I liked the cosy dinners and chill-out sessions of this year instead of getting busy worrying about a big party I have to throw and whether people will turn up and if the food is enough etc. I mean, I don't mind throwing parties, as long as I have the time or hire people to organise it for me, because things can get a little frenzy and in the end, I can't enjoy the celebration myself, which is ironic if you think about how the party is thrown for me. So I like surprise parties, not only because of the element of surprise, which I think is both pleasant and sweet of those who throw it for other, but also because I don't have to worry about the organising part. And I like small get-togethers too, because you can actually spend a few hours talking to just a few people and know that you did spend a thorough chat session with them, not just a "Hi, thanks for coming" or "please make yourselves at home," and then call it a meet-up.
That's so much for parties, now let's move on to the presents.
This year's presents were... shall we say... of a certain theme? Yes. Thanks to all those who made my tai tai dream happen, or rather make a small start to it, I love your presents :) Thanks to Kenny, Elaine, Faith, Xiaohui, Dawn, Mandy, Maggi, Marianne, David, Druce, Sherina and Juline for the Christian Dior lipshine and gloss, four pairs of Princess earrings, one jewellery stand and a funky necklace with large chunky beads. Of course just stating it here does no justice to the essence of the gifts, but I love them and want to say so. Thanks also for the time spent to celebrate with me and the SMSes, (alright it's a little mushy down here but...) I feel loved and I feel touched.
I guess as you grow older, you feel that people who remember your birthday get fewer and fewer. And people who actually bother to make time to buy presents and arrange to spend time with you during that time are rare. So I hope I will always be that rare person who cares.
