Sighs (that's a good sigh joanne!)..God never fail to amaze me. And my love for Him just continue to grow each day. Especially on days like these when He surprises me and cheers me up with such 'events'. Truly, He's an almighty God who sees and knows. I don't know even know how to put it into words here.

I mean, the annual cluster camp was like no other, because I feel so at peace during this year's. The past few camps, I have that joy and enthusiasm about all the games and activities. This year, He showed me the works He has done in my life and I'm truly blessed. He gave me this sense of peace and contentment besides all the joy, something that I desperately need.

Yesterday during service, Pastor Eugene was talking about surprises and shocks. And he defines surprises as good shocks and shocks as bad surprises. Sighs...And later at night, He showed me the meaning of a good shock. The element of surprise was so overwhelming I couldn't stop jumping for joy.

so this is just part 1 of my celebrations..

By the way, I am so proud of my mom and dad for not letting up the surprise! Cause they'd usually blurt it out somehow..but last night was insane!

So what happened was..at 11.15pm I went out with my dad to get our supper in preparations of the 2 euro matches that we were supposed to stay up to watch. Nothing unsual there, although, I have to say I should have suspected something as my mom was urging me to go get supper when she'd usually not want us to eat such unhealthy food so late. But then again I skipped my dinner as I was sleeping in the evening. So, I thought, nothing unsual there.

We went out to pump petrol and pump tires before getting 'Mee-pok'. Nothing suspicious there too.. Everthing was normal and fine..We reached home at 11.59pm. Then as I was stepping into the house, krystal sent her irthday msg, then mumtaz, then zen. Okay..so they planned to send at the same time. Cool.

As I was sitting to eat my supper and watch my soccer, mommy suddenly said,"eh..go upstairs and get your presents leh."

I replied, hungry and tired," Later la..I know what you got me already. Tomorrow also can see wad.."

She insisted," Quick! Go and see!! Quick la..the match starting already. Bring come down then we can unwrap the presents together.."

So I hurried up. And outside my room, on the square Ikea coffee table, I saw a small wrapped rectangular box above a ginormous parcel, wrapped in those brown matt papers which I absolutely adore. I was thinking..hmm..what's that in it? My birthday cake? Then I was rushed into my room to get the Aigner watch that my daddy bought as an early birthday present 2 weeks ago, so that I can pile them up and take pictures.

I came out, ready to take a picture of the presents..and my garden door creaked open. Tsk, I thought, must get daddy to fix the door, it's spoiled and cannot close properly anymore. I was also thinking how come the door can open by itself.. Then I began asking myself..how come got light behind the door when everything else was switched off?

I wondered aloud,"Eh..how come the door suddenly open..OH MY GOD!! WHO'S THAT??? WHO'S THAT?!!!??!!"

As I was screaming my head off, (I was screaming because the outdoor table was adorned with a nutella cake with lighted candles and more candles all around the table, plus a sunflower and plus a wrapped present, wrapped in GOLD! Too much for me to register), the 3 of them popped out of nowhere and started singing happy birthday! I was in a state of shock for a few seconds and just gapped at them. haha..should have taken pictures. But anyway, I was so pleasantly shocked I couldn't stop jumping. I think Kyrstal was expecting tears, but I was so happy!! Instead of tears of joy, I had leaps of joys.

I couldn't calm down for the next half an hour, that was how high I was.

So anyway, pictures!





The pictures don't do the painting justice!! It's super beautiful! See, the story goes like this...Pocahontas lived in the forest right..but she's also good friends with Snow White (/brown cause it's taz), Jasmine ( Hot zen) and Cinderella (need I say more??haha..) Pocahontas was lonely indeed because John Smith dumped her and her racoon and humming bird decided to go for a month's long trip around europe. So the other 3 princesses decided to move to the jungle to accompany Pocahontas!



I love this card!! It's so me..or rather what I would like to be doing..running across fine white sand..relaxing at the beach and enjoying the magnificant view.


Their messages..haha..one less child bearing year..

This was another pleasant Shock..Le sigh..So that was the ginormous box..I thought it was a dress..but why would my dad buy me a dress?



After which, daddy exclaimed that he only rent them..and would have to return them the next day.

Happy happy!!!!!

I LOVE YOU MOMMY AND DADDY! I LOVE YOU EVEN WITHOUT THE PRESENTS! I LOVE ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU TWO HAVE GIVEN ME, BAD OR GOOD, MATERIAL WISE AND VALUES, ALL THE SAME. AND I CANNOT ASK FOR A BETTER SET OF PARENTS FROM GOD BECAUSE HOW CAN YOUBEAT THE BEST ONES?! I TRULY TRULY LOVE YOU GUYS!

Now, I won't get presents from them for the next decade or two..

Becky! Tsk tsk tsk~ (in the HIM way).

Off to part 2 now!
