Dear friends of Huiyi who currently live in Shanghai,
Firstly, some of you may be receiving a mail from me for the first time.My name is Tan, Joey Asher Tan, and I love Lee, Lee Huiyi with all my heart.
(Okay, let's simplify things - I am her boyfriend...)
Her birthday is coming up (!) on 15 Apr and I'm thinking of putting something together for her that is memorable and meaningful.
She turns 22 this year and hence I'll involve 22 people - all Shanghai residents - in this special project - CODENAME: THE SPECIAL PROJECT. Haha... =P
You have received this mail because I think she'd like to hear from you.
But don't worry, you are under no obligation to do this for her... I do not force. =)
Simply email me privately with a smiley face and I'll get the hint... No questions asked.
Or just stay really silent... And I'll pretend that I didn't send you this email if I don't hear from you within a week.
I will need to offer your place to someone else if you can't contribute. =(
Otherwise, please read on! I think it'll be quite fun actually. Heh. =)
Kindly reply to me by 18 Mar, next Wednesday, if you're in or out of this project.
And I need all your completed entries by 8 Apr, Wednesday.
Do submit it punctually ok? I will only have a week to put it together.
There are 5 parts to this special gift which would require your kind contribution. =)
Please read the following carefully...
Part I - SOMETHING SERIOUS - Answer only one of the following questions:
1. How has Huiyi blessed you in the last few months she's been here? Give an example and describe it as best you can.
2. What was your first impression of Huiyi when she came and what is your impression of her now that you know her better?
3. What do you enjoy most about Huiyi/your friendship with her?
4. Describe an event/incident that best represents this.What will you miss (most) about Huiyi when she leaves in July and why?
5. Why would you look forward to seeing her again?
Part II - SOMETHING WACKY - If Huiyi was a... (Answer only one):
1. ... Song, what song would she be and how would she sound like? Provide the song title, performing artiste, MP3, lyrics and chords, if possible
2. .... Dish, what dish would she be and how would she taste like? Provide the recipe, list of ingredients and preparation method, if possible, or if the recipe is not original, you can just send me a link if it's on a website.
Part III - SOMETHING VISUAL - Email me a picture of you and her together.
- If you don't have one, please try to take one with her in the next few weeks... But do it sneakily! =P
- Or, if all else fails, just pass me your picture and I will make magic with it.
Part IV - SOMETHING SWEET - Write for her your personal birthday note!
- This could take place in the form of well-wishes, blessings or just some words of encouragement!
Part V - SOMETHING IMPACTFUL - Finally, make her go "WOAH..." or "HMMM...".
- You can choose between: Picking out a verse from the Bible to remind her of God's faithfulness/ goodness/ grace in her life OR
- Choosing an inspiring quote to well, erm, inspire her.
Next, you need to know who's in this project so that you do not give it away.I might smother you with my hairy armpit perspiration if word gets out from you. Yeah it's gross, so don't make me do it. =P
That's all from me. I hope to hear from you soon. =)Remember, THE SPECIAL PROJECT is a SURPRISE.You DO NOT want to get smothered by me...
You may have very little or very much to write, depending on how long you've known her and how much you know her.But you know what, it doesn't matter - what matters is that you write. =)
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are in any doubt at all.My mobile number 150 2115 7717. And I am just an SMS away.Thank you very much in advance for being so sweet to her. =)
Lovingly,
...Joey Asher...

10. The loveliest, most well thought of gift that I've ever received from the bestest, hottest, sexiest boy - Joey Asher Tan. It really made my day and yeah, I went to bed smiling. Enjoy the pictures!
(I think I have to go to part 3..)
Throughout the day, I received birthday greetings on my handphone and on facebook! Daddy and mummy called me in the morning. I know the Fabastic Clique tried to reach me on my handphone after their paper but I missed their phone call. That was pretty amazing. I remembered at 12 midnight, I messaged Joey and said "Nobody is gonna remember my birthday because I forgot some of their birthdays. It sucks to be sick on your birthday. Imagine having to be in bed the whole day in the big apartment all alone and all you ever did was to step into the restroom. Joey and I cancelled all our dinner plans and decided to head to the hospital instead.
I woke up at 12 midnight on 15 April with a stomach ache and stayed in the toilet for the next half an hour. Well, that was the start to my 22nd birthday.
I dragged myself to work (thinking I was a super woman). I actually felt bad taking too many days MC so I went to work. However, I went off after lunch because I was not productive and I couldn't concentrate on work. I had no mood at all! And the greetings I received on facebook were mostly "enjoy yourself; have fun...." The whole day, I felt very lousy and upset. Like why of ALL days must I feel so down on my 22nd? My tummy made funny noises, I had headache, I felt giddy, I had massive "explosions", I vomitted. Whatever I ate for breakfast, lunch or dinner the past few days all came out. AH!
1. Elizabeth came with chocolate truffles! Hand made! 
2. My housemates came home. One gave me an umbrella + cake. Another gave me a Bear.
3. A shopping bag from brother chin seng and sister ervina
4. 2 hand towels from Marcus Pang
b) Love pack from the COT! YAY! 
c) Notebook from the eNTUsiasts!
(This is only part 1! Part 2 in the next entry!)
