The last one made me laugh.. I'm sure it must be a bday wish of some sort in Chinese characters, but unfortunately my mobile can't read them. I had a good day yesterday since it was a public holiday for where my work place is located. Hence I got a day off without the need to apply for leave (I was planning to have a day off anyway), my hubby took a day off to just spend time with me.. hee.. we actually had a hectic day, woke up around 7.30am! Went out most of the day to have lunch, walk around, visit orphanage on behalf of my parents in law, bought bday presents for other people, then got home around 6.30pm (just like normal working day.. almost, normally we would have woken up at 5am). Had dinner, had bday cake (cake on TTB's blog) and then slept at 11pm. Quite an ordinary bday.. but ordinary is good.

WAIT A MINUTE!! No.. something did happened yesterday, we were in a minor car accident!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have nearly forgotten about this. We were happily driving (luckily quite slow because in preparation to take a left turn soon), then the car right in front of just did an emergency break!!! Because of the stupid car in front of him that is doing some reckless maneuvering stunt. Hence there was not enough space for us to emergency stopped in time. But luckily no car within close range at our back. We bump the car in front lightly at the back bumper. Luckily it was a very light car (Kancil) hence we pushed the car to the front for a distance. That have absorb some of the shock and also energy of the bump.. so no major harm to both cars or the people inside. If it was a stronger/heavier car, we would have dented his bumper or ours!!! We stopped quickly at the road side, both drivers went down and inspect their cars respectively, had a good laugh of the experience since no dent or anything, curse the reckless car who has caused all these but drove off, then both drivers went back to their cars and drove off. It was really a minor thing, hence I actually have totally forgotten about it. But what a thing to happen on your birthday! Hee.. I take it as a good sign because bad things happen (I believe) to help you reduce your bad karma. Must remember to do more charity to earn some good karma.
