Last Monday was my birthday. Having a birthday cake together is a tradition of our company. Around 3pm, all the coworkers in my department gathered at the dining room. When I walked into the room, seeing the flickering candles on a multi-tiered fruit cake which was decorated with cream and white floral decorations. I made a wish and blew the candles out with one long breath as others all sang “Happy Birthday”. When I was off work, I called some of my friends to meet at a restaurant , where is popular for Thai Food. We really had a great time since the food and the vibe were incredibly good as usual, except the services were a little bit disappointing.

It’s front office, and what I’m doing now is middle office because I think it’s not connect with coworkers. It’s a huge change for me. I don’t know if it’s right choice so I can’t sleep well recently.
