Forever 25 plus 1

There is a very well-known Hong Kong singer, Alan Tam, who claimed to be staying "forever 25". Back then, when I was a kid, I thought people stopped counting their ages after they turned 25.

After all the hard work all these years, finally, I'm older than Alan Tam tomorrow. And same as last year, I had a birthday gathering in my place. I put the pictures on Facebook. But I can share the birthday presents I got here.


Tea from Portsmouth Tea Company- Mid-Summer Night's Dream, Japanese Sencha Green Tea and Avalanche Rooibos. (Gift from S)

Birthday card and Chipotle giftcard. Another gift from a very thoughtful friend S. :)
Creme Brule chocolate, The cocktail party cheat sheets, the Office Voodoo kit, Borders gift card and Global Warming chocolate by my BFF @ Work- The Oracle!
A notepad, a watch/key chain and a must-have for all actuaries- a pocket calculator from A.
Mate gourd and a bombilla (a metal straw) from Argentina. Gift from my Argentine Tango friend Alexander. I had a mate once in Gong Fu tea when I was in Des Moines. I can't believe now I can make my own mate at home!
A silver butterfly with a suction cup which I can stick it on my window. (Gift from KH)
Sunflowers from another newly met friend, C from Tango. C is another awesome person that I met recently. She looks abit like Maggie Gyllenhaal and can speak mandarin.

Happy Me Birthday Party/ Quarter-life Potluck

Here's the Happy Me Birthday Party Details:

When: Next Saturday (3/31), 6pm
Where: My place
What to bring: Bring a dish to share, feel free to bring something to drink. We have OJ, Soy Milk and Limeade in the fridge.

You can also bring a "special" friend/lover/date with you.

We are planning to play the DDR, the Pictionary or the Catch Phrase or Cranium after dinner. (I haven't bought those board games yet, so feel free to tell me any suggestions).

Oh, you don't have to buy me a birthday present, just showing up at my party is wonderful enough. ;) However, if you've already bought a gift to me, I'd be more than happy to receive it. :)

Thanks, and hope to see you at the party!!
