Hi everyone! thanks to all of you who stopped by to say abientot :) I was really happy to see so many friends there, especially those who i've not seen in ages!! 

I feel like the oscar's speech, in that there are just so many people I'd like to thank and I know I'll miss someone... (plus my head's not fully awake yet:doze: as I closed up the party at Kempinski and continued to stay out til early morning til my friend's return back to Monaco on the first flight out)

Firstly a mega thanks to Mindi (hermiamsd) for helping me organize this birthday / farewell party.  i could not have done this without her help in coming up with the place and then negotiating all details and running around all night taking care of things. A big thanks to Sak (bookworm) for offering to make 100 cupcakes!:w00t: they were so so soooo good! Thanks to Yun, Zhang, Pili for helping register folks with the drink bracelets, and to friends who showered me gifts and cards. I was touched to receive so many gifts, especially from members who i've never met until last night.  Since i host these parties every month, I sorta forget that my birthday is coming up this weekend :doze:

So many beautifully dressed ladies and men in suites... it was hard to pick the winners for our best dressed competition, but we found 4 women winning the "Sex & the City Spirit Award".  (I'll let Mindi post their names)  The prizes from L'Occitaine, were funded by the godfathers :cool:of Glocals - Nir & Oded.  Thanks guys! 

To Eu-Min & David for the photography (send me copies pls), Venkat for the cake delivery, and really everyone for making this a party to remember!!! Thank you for your friendship. These last 2+yrs have been the highlight of my life!!!  I will miss you all every much :crying: but i hope to come back for occassional visits :P

A final note, I fly out on the 7th, but will be in town appearing at Swiss's March 27th event at Lady Godiva, and also another small event which I'll post to hopefully see few more folks who i couldn't see last night.  Have all a wonderful weekend!
