Birthday drinks last night.

Hmmmm. I knew there was a reason I liked Firefox.

Just one question though, at this point, who is keeping who warm?

Ask a bunch of kids “What does Love mean”.

My faves:
“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
Billy - age 4

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”
Karl - age 5

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”
Bobby - age 7

Full list here.

What a lovely birthday - A birthday text and Skype at midnight from Kate and a blog-post song from Sian.

Then lunch with the gang from work:

(From the left: CY, Allen, Chun-Kit, Kelly, Bala, Me, Asif, Xiao-Min, Chin-Chin and Siok-Hwee)

Then the Breakfast Club in the evening for a Bacon and Egg sandwich.

Complete with birthday cakes from Han Yie (Thanks Han Yie!) and Angie (Thanks Angie)

Texts or emails from loads of others, and in answer to the various questions asked:

1. Yes, it really has been 30 years.
2. Yes, I’m sorry for the labour pains that mum went through
3. No, things do not start dropping off
4. Both, it’s both a Calibration and a Commiseration
5. Yes, it does count if you send your email while it’s still the 10th in the UK but the 11th in MY
6. Yes, I do have big plans for the next decade
7. No, I don’t feel that old
8. No, it doesn’t feel different now that I’m in my 30’s

Older and wiser? Well, certainly older!

Thanks to everyone who helped make it a special day - I’m feeling very loved!

Good God - 30. Is it all uphill from here, or all downhill from here on in? It could go either way, and either answer would depress me. Oh well, time to get on with it.

PS: Out for drinks on Friday night. A bottle of Vodka (thanks Kate!) with my name on it.

Oh God, this solves quite a few problems for me at the moment. If only I’d spotted this a month ago.

Update2: After reading all the comments on Daily WTF I think I’ll just go and hide in a dark room for a few days and pretend it all never happened.
