to start it off, i would like to wish my utmost thanks to each and every one of you for the thought and effort put in the lovely bday surprise. special thanks to tk and lizhu for planning it (: i honestly suspected that something was kinda fishy but i never expected the surprise to be so elaborate and well planned. but still, i really really appreciate it :D

thank you for making me and gwen wait at the raintree for what seemed like forever in such an awkward situation with a secret spy in our presence. haha. but it was kinda fun running away and attempting to hide and disappear for awhile. did we succeed in making the secret spy worry? haha. and it was fun and weird to do warmup just by ourselves too! :D

thank you for standing under the scorching hot sun to make that lovely heart formation. it brought back wonderful memories from syf. and aww we know how much you love us. we love you all too! :D

thank you for the heartwarming gifts which ms khoo helped to present to us. i've read every single letter from all of you and they are all so sweet. no matter how elaborate or simple the letters are, i love every single one of them. from the cute and pretty drawings, to the long essays (huh eunice!), to the most thoughtful ones (huh lizhu! i only read the first five btw. have yet to read the rest! >.<), to the innovative ones (huh joycelyn! the game is uber cool ok!), they are all really really heartwarming. and thanks to eunice for the super cool mug! i totally agree with the quote btw: "men were put on this earth to make money, women were to spend it!" haha. and thanks to an and thu for the prettay wallet too! :DD

thank you for the touching video. the unglam photos and all the other family photos nearly made me cry! it was nice reliving all those moments captured in the photos. and of course thanks to the two random guys haha. and for the flower too. i LOVE flowers :D

thank you for the cake smearing! it was more like being attacked by cakes lah! and saniah was so strong and violent that i fell butt down and broke my flower into half ): stupid saniah! haha i have never been caked so badly before. and i rmb that aqilah could still pretend to take photos of us! we innocently posed for the camera not knowing the near doom we were going to face. haha. it took me a long time to get rid of the awful cream smell from my hair ok! :D

thank you for the real cakes at the end too. they were delicious :D

simply said, THANK YOU for everything today. i swear that this day will forever be etched in my heart. i have never been this happy and touched at the same time for so long. this is really the best bday celebration i ever had. you all are really sweet. i couldn't ask for a more fun and loving dance family. i love each and every one of you to bits. this touching gesture just makes leaving malay dance a zillion times harder ok! ):

ps. as eunice mentioned in her letter, i promise not to be emo anymore ok. i will find that motivation in my life! who knows? maybe i have already found it today after that significant moment which only those who know will know about it :D
