The Birthday Post

Haven't been blogging for a while, partially cos I was busy (doing nothing) and mainly because I lost my blogging mojo (*cough* lazy *cough*).

Anyway, I am back to work today and since it's like 3rd day of CNY and the whole office is super quiet, I decided to blog instead. So here's a crappy record of my 28th birthday. Yea... 2 more years before reaching the "big 3" *horror*

Bear with the lousy photo quality, mostly taken by my phone camera, and grabbed from my "mobile upload" folder on FB LOL. Talk about being lazy, yea, I don't even have the energy to bring my camera out nowadays.

Due to some "foreseeable circumstances" YM celebrated my birthday slightly earlier this year. We went to Hard Rock Cafe again and ordered exactly the same food as last year @.@ but it was a great night.

No birthday cake this year, but he did made an effort to arrange for a brownie delivered with a candle but I sorta spoiled his surprise plan. Hahaha...

During the weekend, I went out for lunch + shopping with my colleague-cum-office BFF (LOL) Chloe and our usual "date crasher" Hubert and the nice duo treated me for a meal at Winter Warmers :)

My two crazy bitches, Hunny and Little Gigi gave me a small surprise at our fav hangout location Buckie Buck after my long OT day (ended work at 9.30pm FML)! Love my babes max!

A humongous cake, like seriously HUGE! It's my one and only proper cake this year.

This year I ate too many "birthday meals". Other than the above mentioned, my boss gave me a small treat at Tsuruya before my birthday, my IT colleagues gave me a treat at Kim Gary and my usual lunch gang paid for my lunch at Japin! Super nice people *muacks*

And of course, I appreciate all those who remembered (or accidentally found out) my birthday and sms-ed, emailed, fb-ed and whatsapp-ed me to wish me.

Now... moving on to the presents part... *nyahahaha*

#1 The earliest present I received (ok, I sorta forced her to give it to me before my bday after figuring out what she bought for me) was this ultra-cute-can-die Charles & Keith drawstring bag from my Hun, Steph.

No one knows me better than her muahaha, ok... cos I kept bugging her lar... But I was actually looking for a nice drawstring for ages and she managed to get me just the perfect one *muacks*!

#2 My boss, being my boss, gave me a book- "How to Become Women of Power" *sweat*.

Still think she is "hinting" something but I decided to pretend not to get her hidden message. Power... what? *ignorance is bliss* LOL.

#3 This is one present that came as a little surprise from a friend :) Yup, a mini Lego ghost!!!

Really love this minifig very, very much. I've always wanted it but never thought of owning it. It glows in the dark!!! It's just so so so so so cute! My baby ghost is now sitting on my office desk, accompanying me during boring office hours :)

#4 Quite touched when YM brought this back telling me that his sis, Chze bought this for me cos she remembered I said I like Sticky candies ^^ Super happy!

The bottle is almost empty by now cos I couldn't stop popping the candies into my mouth! Super yummy, except that they cut my tongue badly too :P Totally worth the pain though.

#5 Being super practical, I opted for "shopping cash" from YM this year and I bought myself my first Agnes b. :D

It's a simple tote in black and white tartans. Simple and versatile, totally love it!

This wasn't what I had in mind when entering the shop but the sales assistant was a very, very friendly chap who kept telling me this looks good on me (not sure if he is eager to clear the stock or what LOL) but the bag does look good, so I picked it.

#6 I totally busted the budget YM gave me after I bought this watch. Hahahaha.

I wanted a white watch and had been searching high, low, up, down, left, right for a suitable one. This wasn't the "most idealistic" one but it suited my budget and looks really nice on my wrist. No regret. And I'm loving it more everyday, whee~~~

#7 This Esprit watch is a present from Little Gigi :)

I don't exactly need another watch but it's nice :) Muahahaha...

#8 I counted this as my birthday present to myself. Totally burned a hole in my pocket but I needed a new phone (the old one has been serving me well for the past 4 years but it's time for it to retire).

Ya, finally signed up for my data package and now I can whatsapp and FB and iMessage anytime, anywhere. No more relying on stupid wifi :D

#9 Finally, a nice birthday trip for myself!!! Ok, it was sorta a mistake that I made, but it actually turned out to be a nice memory for my birthday. First time spending my birthday outside Malaysia.

Shall blog about the trip soon, need some time to get back my blogging mood after all these festive seasons and celebrations.

Confession: Although I always say "age is just a number" I am actually quite bitter about turning 28 hahahaha.

I don't know, maybe it's cos I always have the perception that we are at our peak in our 20s and getting towards the end of it made me feel panic because I know I wasn't ready, and I hasn't achieved the mentality maturity that I always felt is needed. I felt that I haven't made the most out of my 20s and I only have 2 more years to go.
