So another year has come and gone. Honestly, this year, I had no expectations. Outside of going to buy myself a new desk chair, no presents were in line either.

It started around 11:40 p.m. when some of my twitter buddies started their countdown to the birthday, and happy birthday songs exploded at midnight - an extremely pleasant surprise. The midnight call and Hava Nagila rendition totally made my night ^_^

Followed by a morning breakfast with an awesome person and my day couldn't have been better. While it didn't entirely get much better due to a hospital visit at the end of the day, the wishes and messages definitely made me smile.

Fast forward to Geekfest 2.0, the following night, where I got wished in person by a lot of tweeple, only to then be surprised by an ice-cream cake by someone who knew that I had to spend the previous evening at the hospital. Sometimes, you are surprised when you least expect it.

Pictures (the last three are me looking like an idiot with an ice-cream cake).

Thanks everyone, and L =)
