Thanks!



My birthday banana says it all! Had a good birthday this year, kicked off with the monthly company birthday makan for all September babies, and then a surprise party at home with family, and then another surprise party at a student's place where they conned me with a mooncake gathering, and finally a surprise cake party by colleagues :) I had a lot of cake, well wishes, and greetings from good friends. Thanks everyone!

HOT NEWS!!! I am so happy :)

SpongeBob SquarePants (Yahoo! TV)

"SpongeBob SquarePants," the popular animated Nickelodeon show, is returning with 20 all-new episodes, set to premiere on the cable channel sometime in 2005 after the big square sponge and his undersea friends soak on the big screen.

"What could be better than announcing that the world's most beloved and optimistic sea sponge is coming back with 20 new episodes?" asked Nick President Cyma Zarghami Wednesday. "SpongeBob is the most successful property in our 25-year history, and we're thrilled to bring his fans more adventures from Bikini Bottom. And maybe he'll finally get his driver's license."

The series, which follows the absorbent adventures of a talking sponge and his best friend Patrick in the underwater lair of Bikini Bottom, launched in July 1999 and has became a sensation with kids and adults alike. Many fans believed there would be no more "SpongeBob" on the tube after the toon's upcoming film.

Not true, according to show creator and executive producer Stephen Hillenburg.

"While I'm completing the day-to-day production of the SpongeBob feature film," said Hillenburg. "I am also looking forward to overseeing the creation of these new SpongeBob episodes for television."

"The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" hits theaters Nov. 19.

MidAutumn Festival!

Over the weekend, I've decked my house with paper lanters, approximately 20 in total. Pretty! Have always loved the MidAutumn Festival. And the mooncakes! Nyam... kids should be surprised today. We did the Legend of Chang Er last week so they are getting into the groove of things :)







Saturday should be fun. Have reserved seats for those who confirmed. Haven't seen most of the films myself (wouldn't go if I have). And then will be headingback to Melaka the morning after. On leave till Wednesday just for the heck of it! Woohoo...

College is having it's monthly birthday staff bash tomorrow... so that means free cake and chocolates for birthday people! Yay! Unfortunately, unlike most months, there's 13 people celebrating their birthdays this month so cake portions likely to not be as generous. Darn... Also have a colleague sharing the same birthday so presents from colleagues will also likely be divided. Double darn. But birthdays are fun nevertheless... never quite mind being the older. Am actually enjoying life older than younger. :)

Anyways, enough rambling. I'm just enjoying a brief respite between assignments. Come next week and it'll be back to hitting the books (or in this case, online documents). Ciao!

Long Weekend

Back from the weekend and will be work as usual tomorrow, darn. :) Well, looking forward to the end of the month for another long weekend! Hehe... anyways, here's some snapshots of my weekend (thanks to my new cellphone with it's teeny weeny cam).



Nandos! Had such a great meal. Sigh... comfort food.



Had a Sate Celup dinner to celebrate mom's birthday. Good stuff :)
