Happy Birthday to meeeeee, NOTD, Hello Kitty Swarvoski pen

Damn I've been lazy. Didn't buy anything fancy or new so I didn't have much of an inspiration to post up anything. I'm still trying to finish up whatever make up I have first. Oh wait, I bought lots of nail polish, will post them up in my next post though.

NOTD - Pink with glitter and diamante

Oh! I forgot, I officially became 28 on July 10 this year. Wheee! Went to work as usual and came back home to sulk since Sir Terrible Memory was in Japan on a family holiday. Yes, the lucky boy, got to go Japan again so soon after our last trip. An all expense paid trip inclusive of shopping money. (WTF!!)

I had sleepless nights for the duration of his Japan trip and even had dark eye circles which is rare for me. Luckily a few days of good sleep afterward got rid of it in a jiffy.

These cupcakes were given to us (me and my sister) from our lunch mate who coincidentally birthday fell a day before mine.

But even without Sir TM, my birthday this year was good. My lunch partners organized an outing to a All-you-can-eat Steamboat Restaurant on the 9th. That night, my sister had to roll me out of the door, into the car and home. As usual, my greediness got the better of me and I paid the price. Yes, I work with my sister in the same company but different departments :D

On the 10th, the people in the department I am sitting in banded together to throw me a surprise party. Instead of a cake, they got little cupcakes with everything they knew I love, Chanel hand bag, Chanel lipstick, shoes, dresses etc. made from sugar fondant.

Besides the cupcakes, they also got me this!! OMG!

I was really touched, I ended up crying. I love them to bits but didn't expect anything from them. I would have been happy to just receive the cupcakes.

Later, my colleagues from my department threw another surprise party for me after sending me on a wild goose chase.

Too many cakes in too short a period caused me to put on so much weight I couldn't buckle my jeans anymore. So to end the story, I am now on a diet eating carrot sticks and celery. I am not happy...

P.s: If you are confused, let's just say I work in XX dept. but sits in YY dept, has transferred to VV dept. but still does a bit of XX dept. work while still sitting in YY dept. There!

Elisa got me a Jill Stuart tinted lip balm! Whee! Thank you, Habibi! I'm a little surprised she remembered how much I wanted one. I first saw it when Elyn got Elisa a Jill Stuart lip balm and I drooled - badly.

Still no ring from Sir Terrible Memory but Pinky Doodle Doo gave me four! Hah! Thanks, Pinky Doodle Doo. So far, I have received one from Bunny, four from Pinky and zero from Sir Terrible Memory *waves fist* I'm keeping tabs!

A chunky bracelet from my department head. Thank you!

So how's my birthday look?

Plain.

I manage to meet Bunny from BunnyOnline.com last Sunday and I think even she will be able to tell you that I am very plain looking in real life. I don't have any fancy-smeancy make up or clothes or hair. I'm just the average kinda girl you see everywhere :D

Sir Terrible Memory returned from Japan a day after my birthday and he bought me Hello Kitty stuffs and a Starbucks tumbler as peace offering, Yay!

How.. manly.

I was kinda hoping for the Cherry Blossoms ones but I guess they didn't have that.

Oh happiness! A Swarovski Hello Kitty pen filled with 150 Swarvoski crystals.


A Hello Kitty Eco bag, chocolate biscuits and tissue papers (lol)

Thank you Sir TM for the gifts, I am happy for the gifts but truthfully, I am thankful you came home to me safe and sound. That, is the best gift of all.

A handkerchief from the Hokusai Museum.

Hokusai was a famous wood print artist, believe it or not the image on the handkerchief above is made using a wood print.
