I got my first card from Meng Yee. It was sitting in my mailbox 5 days before the big day.
On the Saturday before, Tsu Ann, Chand and I had dimsum. It was a busy week for them - anyone who has watched "Tails" would agree that it was worth it! 
Chand and I outside West Lake. The celebration came, as always, in the form of a simple dinner :) This year, at Oriental Spoon.
One of the reasons why this year is special is because of Emily :) This would be 5 years since I last celebrated my birthday with her. Emily is one of my oldest ever :) Since we were... Primary 3? It was (is, she's still here!) great to have a good friend by your side on a memorable day :)
Gracing us with his ultimate soikuanness :P
Then there's dep zhai August.
Wouldn't let me cut the cake in peace!
August and girlfriend Ayumi :)
And of course.. Baonie :D
Annie Susu :)
Incidentally there were 5 secondary school mates at the dinner. Did not realize this till someone (I forgot who!) pointed it out. For "old" times sake, we tried to do the jumping spontaneously photo. 
I said we tried.
Finally giving up :P
Total : 222.20, Toto anyone?
The night didn't end then. Mr Qijian decided to hog my line until it was midnight, officially my birthday. LOL. So the 1st Place Birthday Wishing (Australian Time) Award went to him.
I must say, Facebook certainly makes birthdays quite interesting. I received an array of "Facebook" gifts this year.
No Fear of 22 - Fyin Chin :)Ian was the first one to wish me on Malaysian time :) and spent 2 hours on his drawing. LOL. Something which would've taken me much longer. Tell me it looks like one of those Hallmark birthday cards.
And I thought, is this even possible using Facebook Graffiti?
My own product
You can run but you can't hide wrinkles~
I also received a growing gift from Monica (which turned out to be a strawberry!) and a free gift from Dan Ru courtesy of Facebook. Technology comes in handy when you're far far away dunnit? :D
On the big day itself I had to attend a Red Cross volunteer session. But the surprises kept coming.
Pei Sze (in Tasmania) who again, employed services of boyfriend Cheng Loong to send me another slice from Brunetti's and a card :D
From Emily and Mann Chii :P who know my favourite things :D
The long-awaited wallet from Chand since my last one was stolen October 2006 :P
