PIXUS celebrates KP's big Three Zero

Yes.... I am officially 30... the dreaded age for most 20+ year olds.

So how do I feel now that I'm 30? One sure thing is that there'll be tons of people (especially those little green kids) reminding you of your age! "Miss Ng, 30 liao... when r u getting married" or "Miss Ng, 30 liao... stop acting cute" are some of the most common phrases I've heard since hitting 30. The other difference is that ICA sent me a letter to ask me to change my IC because I'm 30. Other than that, I seriously don't feel any different. So people out there who worries about hitting the big 3... there's nothing scary about it... haha...

So how did I celebrate my 30th year on Earth? There were a series of celebrations actually.... lucky me!

Party #1: Celebration with Family on 22 Sep, Saturday

My relatives came over to my place for a steamboat party.

Here are some pics of the kids having fun in the afternoon...

Party #2: Celebration with frenz on 22 Sep, Saturday
Went clubbing with my gal frenz Elaine and Kyan and cousin Jeremy... but didnt bring PIXUS along.... N73 had to do the job instead.

My face was super red coz I just had a Waterfall... compliments of my cousin Jeremy. The fire made my whole cheek red hot!






Party #3: Celebration with 4E Band 1 on 26 Sep, Wednesday
First 2 periods of lessons was with 4E Band 1. Chmel came to me with a straight face saying that Mr Tong was looking for me and wanted me to go upstairs... I refused.

Some time later, some Band 1ders came in with a cake singing Happy Birthday... I was surprised!!! Didn't except Band 1 to celebrate my birthday.... Ohhh... so Chmel asking me to go upstairs was a ploy to make me leave the AVA Room...

Here are some pics taken by Candhira....

They surprised me by coming in with a cake...


Notice that the projector was still on cause I was showing the answers halfway!


My dear Maths Rep Kexin holding the cake :)


This is the cake...urmm... how do you divide the cake by 51 people???


Let the other Maths Rep Dawn solve the problem...


Party #4: Celebration with 3A&3B on 26 Sep, Wednesday

As I was walking to the Commerce Room, I heard Wee Jie shouting... Lai Le Lai Le... and when I walked in, there was a cake and a card waiting for me...

Was very surprised too cause I didn't expect them to know my birthday since it's the first year I'm teaching them.

Mr Ong walked by and caught us eating in class... hahaha...
We asked him to help us take a class pic anyway :P





Party #5: Celebration with colleagues on 26 Sep, Wednesday

My sister sent me flowers and wine as usual. This time there's an additional balloon... Cool!

Party #6: Celebration with colleagues on 28 Sep, Saturday

How can I celebrate my big 30 without visiting my fav club Long Fei right? So me and the gals headed for Long Fei...

The deco at St James is really nice... for instance...







Janice fell in love with Long Fei too... mainly becoz of the guy behind us...


His name is Yutaki... and he's really quite cute... not forgetting that he's a very good performer as well... :P
No wonder someone is going gaga over him... wahaha






Long Fei is extremely crowded on Fridays so we headed for Bellini Room for live jazz...

This nice chap is the manager at Bellini Room... Din


See the chap behind me?? He's my sec school fren Benny... Benny knows a LOT of people at St James...


Benny went to tell his journalist fren that I'm her "super fan" and the next thing I knew... she came over to say "Hi"to me... OMG!!!

Yes... she's Patricia Mok. I'm not her "super fan" but I can tell u that she's really nice and friendly. No airs at all... and she looked pretty.

The gals...


Party #7: Celebration with close colleagues (current and ex)on 5 Oct
We had dinner at this Brazilian restaurant in Vivo City. Lots of meat... pork, lamb, chicken, beef... yummy yummy.

Remember this lady? Hehe... She's helping me open my brithday present.


Wow... nice watch!


My watch tester


I finally got my hands on it

To reflect on being 30 again... Well, I guess I can say that being 30 is no big deal as long as you have many people around you to celebrate with you :) Birthdays are always the most fun time of the year...
Hooray to 30 good years and may there be many more ahead!!!

Wait a minute.... one more very important thing about being 30... my new IC. Yipee... finally got rid of that ugly old IC.
