| 2012 Birthday Treat at Sapporo Ramen |
I have often heard people saying that as years get by; One would definitely detest celebrating their Birthday more and more... However, I beg to differ. *wink wink*
Year 2012 is indeed a very special year for me. It was the '1st' birthday I celebrated my birthday, officially as Mrs Chua. Time indeed flies past quickly. I still remembered last June 1st 2011, I was busy preparing for our wedding, playing host to Tijin's aunt from US and as I looked back on the happenings now. It all seemed to happen just as of yesterday... ...
Lovely messages from Family members, Old pals, Besties, Friends, Students, Ex-students and many more were left on my hp as well as FB just as the clock ticks into my Birthday. Thank you all my beloved ones. I am really so happy and indeed feeling so blessed for it. Muacksss (''.)

Although, I chose to spend my birthday at work this year. However, it was a day filled with loads of
LOVE & HAPPINESS. I awoke to feeling great and relaxed on 1st June morning. Although, my Sir Chua gonna go back to camp for his reservist（hence wasn't by me when I awoke) but nevertheless, he never failed to surprise me with his little gestures...
My Birthday Pressie. I received my pressie just as the clock strikes right into my Birthday. *wink*

My beloved Mummy always taught me to never fail
to share my joy & happiness with people around me. I specially awoke to this great & blessed day. Making an early trip to the famous old 109 Duck Rice store; just located at the CC behind my block. I wanted to buy the Duck & Roast Meat that my colleagues so loved for them. Been able to share our joy though a blessed meal is the simplest thing I can do for my loved ones. I also got a few boxes of nice YUMMY Oreo(latest Blueberry ice-cream flavor) for my beloved kiddos at Fei Yue. I simply loved my colleagues & kiddos too much; as to leave them all to themselves, to go to the Sg Flyers excursion. However, I am indeed feeling blessed to be able to do so. *Hearts them heapsss* hehe

Upon reaching the centre, even though I have not stepped into the door. I was greeted by the children greetings and wishes. The smiles on their faces were simply beautiful. As I opened the door to the common hall;
Lovely drawings and beautiful cards were pasted on the whiteboard. Loud greetings from the lovable kiddos as well as their little pressies, really made up the best part of my day. I was touched... ... U could imagine how thankful I was for God's love; conveyed through every and each of the little angels he had created.

I am also thankful that I have good colleagues and friends; in my everyday workplace.
To me, being able to work in Fei Yue is the nicest thing that had ever happened to me. It is more than just a workplace but more like a 2nd HOME to me. The people there are simply my 2nd home FAMILY MEMBERS.
I am specially thankful to 狄兰，丽珠阿姨，珠琴阿姨,秀芝 as well as all the lovable kids of Fei Yue BBSCC. Without them, I am sure my life would not be filled with so much grace & joy daily. All I can say is I loved you guys heapsss. Pressies are not essential but the thoughts definitely melts one heart. To be able to see the efforts of your loved ones, is definitely the sweetest thing one can asks for.
A BIG THANK YOU to 狄兰 for the lovely flowers and motivating card. Special THANKS to all the staffs for the lovely Chocolate Fudge Cake too. I had a moment of sentiments when I was listening to 狄兰老师telling the children the story... ... It was about ME! Tears simply flowed down my cheeks without me even realising it. It was a moment of TOTAL touched. It was simply unexpected and the kiddos were all asking me not to cry as it was my Birthday. I am sooooooo thankful for everything that had happened to me and let's not even mention the part that I was gonna celebrate my Birthday with all of them on the SG Flyer, later that afternoon.(''.)

Fei Yue BBSCC Adventurous SG Flyer excursion - 1st June 2012
At 12.30pm, the total number of 50 children and staffs of BBSCC, embarked onto the bus, heading to Marina Bay - The Singapore Flyers.
I could vividly hear the exhilarating excitement of all the children and staffs. It was most of their first experience to embark onto the tall, high and humongous Flyer. To most of the children who came from Low-income families, to be able to go to this place seemed so far-fetched but thanks to all the parents' support. We did it. I can proudly say that it was almost a FULL attendance for the children. I always like to remind my beloved students of Fei Yue BBSCC that there will never be a 2nd time or repeat timing, whereby one can get together with his/her friends of childhood; heading to the same place and enjoying the same time dimension together happily. Hence, one must always learn to treasure and value the times he/she has with their friends. Childhood slips past us without us realising it at times and in the blink of an eye, we were 'forced' to be adults.
Upon reaching the Flyers, just as the children alighted from the bus. A loads of loud exclaimations came from behind me. ''WOW! That's the Flyer!!!'It's the Flyer! It's so BIG!'' The children were excited and they really cant wait to get into the capsules of the humongous Flyer; seated just right in front of them.

| Sg Flyer - Here we come! ^^ |
Not to mention, it was also the FIRST time that
丽珠阿姨is following us out on excursion. I really could see her beaming with the sweetest smile that I have ever seen and she was happy to be out there with the children. She was dressed like a pretty 'detective'. It was definitely a trip to reward her for always putting the centre priorities in the first place. I sincerely hoped that she had fun with the children, as well as the loads of us; Teachers. hehe Muacksss 丽珠阿姨！
Not forgetting
my beloved Bro, JY who specially took time off to accompany me & my students out on this excursion. Well, he could jolly well be staying at home 'FARMING GOLD' but I am really happy that he chose to spend his day outta with us. It was also his First time up on the Flyer. hehe
BIG hug & Muacksss to him. Love ya heapsss Bro. (''.)

After the one round ride on the Flyer, the children was able to try out the famous and definitely MY ERA childhood food - The Kachang Snowball as well as the Louisanna Popeye Chicken.
Just as I was about to leave the Flyer, I received a call from Bengawan Solo. There was a cake waiting to be delivered to me(however, there was no1 at home). I begin to think... ... Somehow, I knew who it was... ... Muacksss to this
beloved Bestie of mine, Swee. She not only gave me a cake but also brought me a very good piece of news. hehe She is pregnant with a lovely boy(hot news); as she had just got her scan results on my Bday.

The journey back to Fei Yue left me thinking... ... How thankful am I to God for giving so much that I could never have ever asked for. Thank you Father for everything you have given to me.
