I was originally planning to keep my birthday low-profile this year…
But thanks to Warren Whitlock and Deborah Micek (who were reminded by Donna Fox about my birthday), I was acknowledged with my own @SimonLeung Day in honor of my birthday on their Twitter Handbook website.
As soon as the clock hit 12AM, an overwhelming outpour of birthday wishes almost immediately (and very much unexpectedly) began flowing into my Twitter, Facebook and MySpace profiles!
Not only did I receive tons of public and private messages from friends including Stu McLaren, Ben Mack, Harris Fellman, Lee Collins, Robin Collins, Ross Goldberg, Alejandro Reyes, Christina Hills, Stuart Tan, Donna Fox, Alan Bechtold, Amanda Swigert, Jon Walker, Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero, Pat O’Bryan, Vince Tan, JP Micek, Deborah Micek, Warren Whitlock, Eric Farewell, Alex Jeffreys and Cassey Lim…
But over 100 other well-wishers from all over the world also posted Happy Birthday messages within just a matter of hours, and at least another 100 plus continued to send similar messages before the day was over!
I definitely felt the love… :)
Never would I have expected something as small and low profile as my birthday to attract so much attention from my friends on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, but I want to thank you all with my most sincere gratitude…
It sure feels good to know that somebody out there cares! Haha…
