Its Spring 2007 & its moi Birthday !

Its Spring and i love Spring ! Can finally forsake thick winter jackets that make me look frumpy, due to my lack of height (i know, should be fat lah...) i don't know how those actresses can look so good in it ! i think i just look plain FAT n SHORT in it lah. Blah.. Well... anyway, it was my birthday and i thought i could pen..i mean type(",) some thoughts (since i AM getting old and these memories can be saved for future reference ! hahaha...) so these are the happenings of a typical day to work plus my mini-Birthday celebration with my Lao Gong.

Since it was my birthday, i decide to wear something nicer to work, there you go. it probably looks like very casual attire but on other days i am more "Log" than this lor.. its already very nice liao.. wahaha (always underdressing..infamous of Sillyporeans )

On my way to the train station, i spotted these colourful flowers (err.. i don't know what it's called.. oops will the teachers pls advise ?) and could'nt resist taking pics with em, ! One of the reasons loving spring is also, it really adds colours to your life ! Beautiful ..

On our usual route to the train station, we always take a short cut and there is a primary school and secondary school around, thus i decide to take a pic amongst the yellow hats ! So i squeezed in between them & haa.. look one for em is staring at me ! keke.. As it was my birthday and being usually chirpy, i was yakking in English and the kids probably found it funny cause they took turns to stare at us .. thus i decided to greet em, i said Ohayo Gozaimasu ! n guess what ! They kids ran off.. whahaha.. well, i don't blame them, cause i rememebered when i was much younger my mum said : Remember ah, do NOT talk to strangers no matter what. I guessed they remembered what their mums said and ran off ! haa.. The Japanese primary school kids do not wear uniforms to school, however, they have a standardized yellow cap for boys, yellow hat for girls and a very square looking school bag(blue for boys and red for girls)

Cherry blossoms trees in the school, the sakura are fully bloomed and leaves are starting to grow .

A close-up on sakura flower, i was told by my hubby that a sakura flower has only five petals and there is another type of flower called Ume(Plum) which looks very much like the sakura but has 6 petals and they bloom just before sakura , thus if you see sakura like flowers before the sakura season, it probably is the Ume(Plum) instead.

Spotted a very pretty Japanese garden, wanted to go in but decided otherwise. Wait they charge me for trespassing ! Cause its private property.

Have always wondered what/how these blue containers were used for in the primary schools, the kids planted flower seeds in the little blue pots and they are blooming too ! Final pic that made my day before i head to work, saw these 2 beagles waiting for their owner and yup they are tied to the bicycle. This is not the first time i saw these 2 doggies, the owner usually brings them on morning walks i think every morning, one tied to the left side of the bicycle and one to the right.. its a cute sight, the owner will then cycle, the dogs are pretty smart, they pace themself so that they will not clash into each other or the bicycle !

As planned, after work we headed to the cake shop to buy a cake for my birthday celebration, we were hesitant to buy from Fujiya at first(see y on previous post) and went to another cake shop that was suppose to have handmade cakes but they did not look appealing thus, we went back Fujiya and got a chocolate. Ok, this shall be our dinner as suggested by my Lao Gong ! Japanese service is great and so is its packaging ! i love everything of it ! The packaging, the cute little candles and a Peko chan card.Look at the yummiliious chocolately cake (Do not drool on your PC ! muahaha) The chocolate plate with ぺコちゃん（Peko chan） writes : 　お誕生日　おめでとう　トレシー　ちゃん Happy Birthday Tracy... hehe　 Me n Lao Gong posing with the cake... my last 2X birthday !! See so many candles !! The cake is FULL of candles, simply means.. well we all know it.. shhhh.. shhhh
Me the Birthday girl.Trying to act chio,(as i said ACT ONLY la) dun laugh la.. i want to cut up the cake !

30 seconds after the candles was blown n wish made... each of us took a bite... yum yum.. delicious.. all is forgotton of the Fujiya episode.. 2 minutes later... more evidence of the yummie cake. The cake was soft n fluffy, creamy but not overly oily.. *drools* After 5 minutes, this was what is left of the cake and a mess....

There are no more pics to take after this simply because there is nothing left to take ! Hahaha...
