Its My Birthday!
Posted by Shanna on 13 June 2007
What a day it has been! Going to work with a hangover today! I’ll never forgive my gal friends for that stupid drink they gave me last night! Its not the whiskeys and beers which I had. I didn’t mind those! But its that shooter concoction I can’t stand! It was so YUCKY! Just thinking of it now makes me wanna through up!
I was at the verge of taking MC today so that I can sleep off the yucky taste! But am I glad I didn’t do that!
Work was busy then usual and I think its one of those few times that I work on my birthday. Birthday wishes and birthday songs flowed my way the minutes I stepped into the office. I have been waiting for the birthday card which everyone usually signs for a staff birthday, and also the $50 Takashimaya Voucher, but none came… 
I was even wishing for a birthday cake…. Sigh…
I waited and waited, and lunch time came. I was getting grumpy! What a day! My birthday, and I don’t have a card? Is it because I am not a confirmed staff yet that I don’t get anything? I was already complaing during lunch on how hot the weather was, and was gobbling down my lunch so that I can rush back into the cold office! What’s worse was, when I was about to leave the table, my colleague had to stop me to discuss WORK! I was thinking, isn’t there a better place to discuss work? The office is nice and cool, we could easily discuss work then!!! Then she rushed off for a minute
to talk to another colleague and rushed back to me to discuss more! Getting hot and bothered, I was rattling off what I have done in this project I was working with her on. And before I knew it, surprise surprise, my HR Manager walked towards me with another colleague, carrying…. A BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!! By now, I was cursing under my breathe! My colleague had tricked me! From being irritated, I was close to blushing! Now the whole school knows its my birthday! Students and colleagues were singing the birthday song!
Well well well, it has not been a bad day afterall! The cake was a chocolate mousse cake made of 4 small hearts! Made from pure Valrhona Chocolate! 1 heart was in gold, 2 were in dark chocolate and another in milk chocolate, made by our pastry chef and the chef from Valrhona. What an honour! This will definately be a birthday I will always remember!
The cake was melt-in-your-mouth smooth! 1 of them was a mix of mousse and sponge cake, another 2 were of dark chocolate mousse, and 1 in milk chocolate mousse. So sinful! So yummy! So utterly cool!
Happy Birthday to ME!
