Happy Birthday to Moi

It's been some time since I updated my blog - I havent even started putting up my thoughts on being a dad (last June)! guess that'l wait.

It's my birthday today - so it's adios to the Twenties! and welcome to the Thirties (yikes!). Can't say I feel old, as I have a high pitched voice (!). What I'd like to do today is post some SMS/well wishes I got from wellwishers since midnight last nite!

1st honour goes to my wife (of course) but it would have been silly to SMS her hubby in bed right? :-)

next, my brother firhan sent this : "Haaaaapppyyy birthddaaaaayyy fooool"
comment : I think the fool here is himself!! hahah he'll be going to a dark corner of Asia soon - so all I can say is - Dont go sticking your w*lly in places it dont belong in!!

driving to work, Mum gave me a call : She offered to take us out to dinner at a fancy restaurant (Dad's overseas - he'll miss his steak...)
comment : thats so sweet ! Guess I'll order the lobster then!

Shortly after, Dad sends his wishes from China : "Happy Birthday to U, Be a good father, Do Pray to Allah for all the Good things given to U"
comment : I just HAD to reply, so with one hand on the steering wheel, I _expertly_ sms'd this back : Thanks ba, for ur blessings and support. Ur a great dad to have, and I hope I can b the same to junior (aauuww - shucks was that cute or what!!?)

putting my camera bag down in the office (will explain later) I got an sms from an old school friend, Nazlin : "Dear Ezal, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I wish u a wonderful life and dimurahkan rezeki. So how does it feel 2b no longer in the 20s? :-) Anyway have a good day! p.s. Isn't it interesting and wonderful co-incidence that I have 3 friends celebrating their b/day today?
comment : haha - guess 0809 (8 september) is an 'ong'/lucky number to have because I know a total of 6 people who share my birthday!!

Then a colleague, Kent sent in this cryptic message : Happy birthday, bro
comment : Thanks Kent...! :-)

Now even my lil sister Farah's also in the act : "Epy burfday. ada meetng. Later."
comment : o.k. haha

Another colleague, Julika , attending a meeting outside sent in this : "happy bday good looking! may Allah bless u with all that u wish for..insyaallah."
comment : nice one, guess becoming 30's not that shabby ..

..so thats what I got till about 11am today - guess I'm still remembered (haha or all the free birthday alarms available on the web helped too!)

p/s just barely remembered the reference to the cam bag - going pre-surprise shopping spree for a new camera bag (my wife and siblings are supposed to surprise me with it) but being a practical person - I might as well bring my camera bag and test some candidate bags during lunch!
