I hardly ever get close to people at work, due to a personal necessity to separate the two identities (work Huai Bin and play Huai Bin), but one of the people I got close to was Teng Loo.
I think of her as my older sister in a way, she’s the same age as my biological sister, and she’s my mentor of sorts. Thus, it is only befitting that I got her a cake for her birthday. 🙂
The cake reads “Happy Birthday Teng Loo, Cup-bearer to the Gods!” coz she’s Aquarius. We share the same affinity for horoscopes. It’s like Lucifer’s sauna at our workplace coz the A/C broke down so we moved to the conference room for the cake cutting ceremony.
I hope you get your birthday wish TTL. You deserve it more than anyone else. You have been a friend, and more importantly, a confidant. You know more about me than anyone else save my parents, and perhaps not even them. 🙂
Teng Loo’s birthday falls on Valentine’s Day – the 14th of February but Secret Recipe doesn’t do deliveries anywhere close that date so I’m doing an early one for her.
Live long and prosper, TTL. May the best of last year be the worst of this year. 🙂
Aiya, i missed the ceremony. Y u didn’t catch me from the conference room? 🙁 Bad Huai Bin.
Joice: You were all out for lunch. XD
Juice: You betrayed the 4th floor covenant la. 😉
You were enjoying the air conditioning at 2nd floor (where we were supposed to be) while we’re in Lucifer’s Sauna @ 4th floor. 🙂
You were out for lunch, we had it during lunch. You should have came up la. Nevermind, always next time. 🙂
Naoko: Yeah, there were only a couple of us at the infamous 4th floor sauna at that time. Heh!
TTL = through the lens wtf
Hey, I’m also an Aquarius. And my bday is coming. So do I get a cake too.. hehe… Anyway, it must be nice to have her birthday falls on Valentines Day. Believe one of her best wishes is to have you as a friend who cares for her. =)
I don’t think it’s nice to have your birthday on Valentines Day. Your partner get to save money by buying you only one gifts for both “event”!
HB, Glad you still some special time with workers. Now many companies are so tight of company time rather not have parties or birthday get together. It just a memory for many workers now.
TTL – Technical Team Lead lol that’s my supervisor’s post title. Anyway, sigh I got no plans on V-day coz I’m single T_T.
tell teng loo i said happy birthday! she knows who i am.
Teng Loo looks so sisterly, I like person like her. U’re lucky to have her as a friend, Happy Birthday Teng Loo!
aww so sweet!
Eh I didn’t know aquarians are cup bearer to the gods! I am one!!!
Btw, Happy Birthday Teng Loo!
Save some cake for me 😀
Tan Yee Hou: TTL means Time To Live for me. Comp Sci background. 😉
cutie: I don’t even know where you live, so where do I send the cake to? 😉
Thanks! 🙂
chefmel: Heh! I used to have a gf who’s birthday is on Christmas. I had to buy her two gifts – one for her birthday and one for Xmas. 🙂
Michael (Mike): Indeed, I’m glad the company I work for is pretty easygoing on stuff like these. Building teamwork at the office is important.
Simon Seow: I’m single too dude. We shall find something to do.
WEEN: Erm…she knows you? You’re like halfway across the world dude. 🙂
Coki: Yeah, I’m lucky to have her to listen to all my…er, problems. 🙂
She’s a good listener, as most Aquarius people are.
janel: It’s caramel, a very sweet cake. :p
eiling: Yup, it’s Greek mythology. I love horoscopes, perhaps the only thing I believe in. 🙂
ShaolinTiger: Unfortunately, it’s all been eaten up. The size of our workplace is quite formidable…
