19th September 2008, Rebecca celebrates her 20th Birthday.

At the strike of midnight, I had a wonderful surprise from my Dearest. I will never forget the look on your face when I saw you through my window with a donut 'cake' with candles on your hand. Never had I imagine you waiting for my birthday.

My mom was puzzled on why I'm going downstairs..I said a while, but I guess she understood.

I blew out the 2nd pair of candles ( I had 2 from my family before midnight), and realised that the surprised had not ended.

2nd surprise came after I finished the 'cake'. A birthday present. Didn't open it until the following morning.

I was then asked to close my eyes and use the present to cover. Then comes the next surprise.. A real birthday cake. There, I blew out my 3rd pair of candles.

That's my sweet 20th Birthday... Rebecca is a Happy girl!

Birthday at work.. I kept myself busy. My friend called and said she will be in SBG and asked me for lunch. I thought she knew it was my birthday, but well.. she forgot..=\ We had a great time catching up though..=)

It was then i realised my colleagues are looking for me. Never think much. Then I came out of the office and saw 2 cakes on the table.. They were looking for me to celebrate my birthday.. Awww!! There.. I blew out my 4th pair of candles......... Geezz...

After work, I left to the main office, and there.. I got a hand- made card from my colleague. Warm wishes from all of them.

What a nice birthday I had.. I should really appreciate ALL these people around me.

Thank You All.. Rebecca had a wonderful birthday!!! =D

Right. Here is after nearly 3 months of hibernation.

Work is getting along. Many challenges along the way, every mistake is a lesson learnt. Many people to please, rules to follow. I may have been lost for a while but I am back on track.

Well, I have my own style of working, ideas, methods. I need my own freedom. Tricky.

I have to make a balance.

Singapore Garden Festival was a milestone. Complicated preparations, on the toes at all times. Set-up, maintenance, tear down is crazy. I don't remember much, my photos are gone. Due to hardisk crash. Dell =lousy. I knew it. Got con to buy.=.= Lousy service (Don't work on weekends and closes before time stated.) The whole festival was very successful. Those who missed it, see you at 2010.

Work aside, my personal life has been going on well. After the crazy Singapore Garden Festival, I took a 3 days off (I clocked nearly 2 weeks OT), to PLAY and rest. Some of the places I visited were Sentosa, Zoo, Bird Park, Science Centre, S'pore Flyer, DHL Balloon. Great Fun!

Dad returned from Qatar for 2 weeks, spent time with him and my family.

My boyfriend has been great. With me working now, it is different from before, and it has been great. =) But I haven't touch music since.. a pity. I need to study my FTT, read about plants, SLEEP.

Sleep has been something I have been looking forward to, but if I were to get enough sleep, I have less time for FTT, plants, bf, family, music. =.=

Life goes on... I hope work will be better each day. It''s surprisingly stressful when I feel trapped.

*Hold my hands and I will follow YOU. Seeing YOUR footsteps beside mine.
