The Three Little Pigs

I once mentioned that there are 3 people in my team sharing the same birthday, all 3 whos birthday is on 5th of April.

Fate really brought us together. All 3 of us even sits beside one another.

The 3 of us... Me, Phoebe and Henry.

But now, the 3 piglets are no more. Only left 2 as Henry has left the company after only 9 months to move into auditing. The photo was taken during Henry's farewell dinner at King Crab Restaurant, Kelana Jaya.

And you might ask, why us 3 pigs.

Well, Henry and I are born in the year of the pig as both of us also share the same birth year. Besides my brother, he's the only one I knew, who shares the same birth year, birth month and birth date as I do.

As for Phoebe, her surname is Choo. Pronounce that in mandarin, it rhymes with the word 'pig' in Chinese.

Hence, us, the three little pigs.

And since 5th of April is always associated with the underworld because of Ching Ming, so we posed:

Happy Birthday!!!

To Me!!!!!

Hahaha... yes I know... it's a little mou liu to be wishing myself. It's not that I'm not getting birthday wishes. 24 years of age, quite special this year as it's the Year of the Boar as well... my year

The first 2 wishes this year was via Friendster testimonials which was submitted and approved days earlier. The rest are from SMSes and MSNs. 2 person actually called me (no one has ever called me on my b'day before), though one was more of a scolding after I teased her 'un-t' cause she called me 'siu de de' over the SMS XD.

She might be 6 days older than me and if she's that 'old' enough to called me that, it means that she's also 'old' enough to be known as what I teased her for.... muahahahahaha... LMAO !!!!

She even promised to bake me a cake some time back though I'm pretty sure she'd forgotten about it... hehehe (",) By the way, her present is still with me b'cos I didn't get to meet her to pass them to her... let's see if she gets the hint from this post... muahahahaha ;D

Something to note about my birthday. It falls on the exact day of Ching Ming. A Chinese Ritual Day where we would pray at our ancestor's tomb. On leap years, the prayers are performed on April 4th. Yes I know, people are busier preparing for the ritual than to remember my birthdays. The ritual is 1 of the 2 Chinese events that follows the modern calendar instead of the Chinese calendar and I have no idea why.

I've not celebrated my b'day in years. Not with my family nor friends. Sometimes, my family would just go out for dinner like this year, though I was the one buying them dinner last Sunday on April's Fool instead of them buying me dinner.

Oh... and this year, I got 2 er "song" dedication too... one via Friendster message (an ex-female colleague) while another via MSN chat (from a male colleague) this morning.

Both was very similar and here's the one via Friendster:

happy birthday to you~~~~
happy birthday to you~~~~
happy birthday to chun eng~~~~
happy birthday to you~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fast fast clap your hand la!!!

ok, now close your eyes and make a wish. hope your dream come true.


OMG *sob sob... touching-nya !!!! Dunno what to say lar... Hahaha...

And if this isn't enough, my niece from Gold Coast also posted a huge message into our just created family MSN Group. This kind of annouced to the family from all around the world about my birthday... none of which actually knew when my birthday is. If I remember correctly, she asked me this sometime ago. She must'd have noted it somewhere... hahaha.

There was a funny incident when we chatted over MSN 2 days ago and here's the text (it runs off a little as I can't remember the text exactly):

B: it's your birthday tomorrow
Eng: no it's not
B: but you told me it's the 5th
Eng: yes I did... but tmr's the 4th
B: oh...

Hahaha... so blur of her. Her own 16th birthday just past too... late last month.


PS: The 'un-t' kept complaining over the phone that my blog is SO SO SO BORING!!!! So I just post something about my b'day and tried to make it as funny as possible. So dear..... ya happy??!!! Hahaha XD
