Happy Birthday to Me

It’s almost my birthday - it already is my birthday in Singapore time and will be soon in SF time. I’m not too excited beyond the fact that my bf will be taking me out to dinner somewhere (it’s a surprise) and I just saw that he has a 2pm pickup on his google calendar (it shows up on our shared google home!). I guess I’ll wait and see how it turns out tmr, if the pickup is for my birthday or not (Cake? Gift? Flowers?)

Which reminds me that his birthday is coming up so I need to plan what to get him besides dinner! I’m getting kindof lazy and uninspired these days, so feel free to send me any suggestions!

Also, I got to celebrate this past weekend with my friends - we went hiking and they took me to a Thai place for dinner. This Thai place is known for singing birthday songs super loudly and obnoxiously; just when you think they’re done, they go on to sing it all over again, and again! They also bang cymbals and drums and tambourines to draw as much attention to you as possible, which was super embarrassing for me. But it was all around fun haha.

My coworkers also know it’s my birthday so I think they’ll be singing me a birthday song, maybe we’ll do some drinks to celebrate. Otherwise it’ll be pretty uneventful lol.

Oh and I recently came across the news that my favorite Taiwanese singer Rainie Yang just got engaged!! I’m super happy for her, I’ve been following her for so long since my childhood days, and she didn’t seem like she was going to get married anytime soon so I gave up on any wedding news...until now! It’s nice to see celebrities getting married, reminds me that they have their own lives too outside of the spotlight. I’m glad they’re so good to fans and tell us right away!
