I am alone at this moment, reading bible, praying, listening to music, meditation, answering calls.... Although this is what I hope to have today, but out of sudden I feel very lonely... Perhaps most of my friends are in Beijing...
One thing i feel sad - I didn't even manage to do what I promised myself today - that is to treat myself a Starbucks Iced Blended Mocha :( I spent most of my time "working" today and ya.. i will do something good to myself tonight :)
K....
I want to say a simple prayer for my family and friends.
"God... I just want to give thanks for You are good. Thank you for my family and friends who love me and care 4me. Thank you Lord for created me. Bless them and protect them. In your name i pray, Amen."
Sharing some photos with you - who visited my blog

Oops: I sent 2 bunches of flower to my dad and my mum. I used to say THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU to them on my birthday! Without them - there will be no Marlene :) Dad was excited to received RED ROSE this year :) Dad used his mobile to take this photo and MMS me :) Thank you Jason for making this happen :)... ... ... 7 November 2008....
My good friend Wan Yeen called and confessed: She forgot it was my birthday yesterday! Ok Ok i forgive her although i feel little bit disappointed :)
Christine knew i failed to get myself a Starbuck's Ice blended mocha and she ordered the normal mocha from a coffee shop nearby our office. She printed the Starbucks logo on it and gave to me as a surprise. My tears almost drop that time - cause i can feel the love given by her. Thanks Christine :) It is not easy to get a simple Starbucks coffee nearby our working place. The nearest will be 20KM from our office :) can you imagine how far we stayed?
Jon chiew treated me dinner as a belated birthday celebration. He is one of my good friends in Beijing. He is fun and humour. He treated us japanese food. Sara, Kenny joint us as well! It was great.
I think that's all the celebrations. Should end now. Time for bed - more works to do tomorrow although it is a saturday. Marlene, God will bless you and lead you in all you do. Amen :)
