My National Day performance with the LSCT staff! I abit blur, see if you can spot me.



I was shocked, surprised and really touched when the LAI project lecturers, Yong Ling and Gloria threw me a surprise farewell lunch for me! It even comes with a cake! Earlier in the day, Gloria tricked me saying Yong Ling is gone to water plants. But actually she is going out to buy food for the dinner!
Anyways Gloria said there was a meeting at Twelve. I was doubtful (hello 12 is like lunch hour can) but still ok. So when we went up and I saw all the food, I thought I went in the wrong room! Then I saw Yong Ling and Mr Saiful then Dr Goh... Up till the last minute I asked them if there was a meeting later after this!!!

All of them bought me a strawberry cheese cake (which has the lemon puff taste) which got me quite emotional (inside of course) because this is my first 'birthday' cake after like 10 years. My family don't really celebrate birthdays with a cake, what we do is we go out and have expensive food instead. When you are in a family who divides chocolate bars into perfect portions for everyone, you don't have a cake to cause more trouble.

Here's my LAI Project family.


(From left to right) Dr Queh, Nara (who has been amazingly helpful and which I'm eternally grateful for his help in getting my pay for me when there was a cock up), Me, Yong Ling, Gloria (Who, together with Yong Ling got me the Sudoku books! Very touched because they remembered I have a Sudoku craze after working here and they remembered it! I'll bring it to the camp for entertainment definitely), Dr Goh (Thanks for the party , and the one who pays my paycheck =p) and Mr Saiful who is like the best lecturer (may I add the best person) I have the pleasure of meeting in my life.

I hope the project will be a success and may Gaia and Fate bless all of you in your endeavours ahead.
