A LITTLE CHANGE ON MY 28TH

The past years, I had been counting down my birthday with the girls. This year, I was quite sad when I realised Hari Raya Haji fell on the eve of my birthday. Obviously some of them couldn't make it so I requested them to have breakfast with me. Honestly, I wasn't expecting them to agree because most of them are not morning people.

Before I go on about the girls, I'd like to share about my so-called pre-celebrations.

I got my first cake a week before my birthday at coffee bean which I wasn't expecting at all though I was wishing for it silently.

Thanks for reading my mind. It was sweet. You guys were sweeter than the cake - literally! Hah!

2 days before the actual day, I got a present delivered to my office. It was something that I asked for from Mak Nenek. She had it delivered because she could not celebrate with me on the actual day (so she said!). I was happy I got my present but I'd rather have her on my birthday and forgo the present. Heh!

On the same day, my department gave me Isetan vouchers which I bought a perfume with.

Then came the eve of my birthday when people were asking if I was going out or not. I didn't have any plans and just wanted to spend time at home. The new beau was out alone watching New Moon. 10 - 20 minutes before midnight when I was already asleep, he called me and told me to be down in 5!

I was actually irritated more than elated because I was already in dreamland. Of course I went down anyway and I'm glad that I did.

He surprised me with the cake above in his own romantic way. I seriously wasn't expecting a cake from him. He had asked me weeks before my birthday if I had to choose, would I choose a heart shape or a round shape. A sucker in love that I am, obviously I chose the heart shape and tadah! I got a heart shaped cake and it tasted good too!

A few minutes after that, he gave me my present in a very irritating way! I was expecting a little gift from him but I wasn't expecting that from him! He put it on for me and it's just a perfect gift which I put on the very next day.

Now let's go back to the the actual day - with 2 different clans.

The woman above appeared at my door step before 11am! At the lift lobby, I asked her, why was she carrying a shawl? I was wondering because she already had a little jacket on and weather that morning wasn't that cold. She mumbled something which I didn't bother to probe further.

The moment we got down, she wanted to blind fold me - with the scarf! I should have known!!!

Since they wanted me to be blind-folded so much, I decided to cover my whole face with the 'bandage' not because I was embarrassed but it was to embarrass them! Muahahahaha!

Just so you know, I was told not to wear a skirt or a dress but any kind of tops would be fine. Thank GOD I put on a bra that morning or it could be disastrous. You'll find out why.

They brought me to ice-skating! It is such a pity that we didn't get a single shot of us in there but I'm sure everyone of us will definitely remember that experience. The falling, the fear, the hogging of railings. It was fun and can you imagine if I hadn't put on the bra?!

They then brought me to Hyatt for high-tea. After which we did an impromptu shopping at Far East. By the time we finished, it was time for me to meet the next group.

Thanks girls for always making the time to be there for me.

Now, part 2 of the same day. The boyfriend fetched me at DFS at about 730pm and we headed to Sentosa. They got me a room at Siloso and again, it was such a pity that I didn't get to take pictures of the hotel's vicinity.

Went to the room, got a shock from Nikki and shortly after that, they presented me with a cake. The cake is sooooo lovely!

I refused to cut the cake till my irritant best friend arrived and that was after midnight but who cares!

It was a very intimate affair. However, they left the room at about 3am and their reason was to let me have 'alone time' with the boyfriend. No complaints though! Muahahaahaha!

The next day, the moment I entered my bedroom, I saw a present with colourful notes on it which put a smile on my face. My rugrats, they are full of sweet gestures. I love them!

My 28th was supposed to be my last birthday as a singleton. As a matter of fact it was supposed to be a birthday cum a hen's night celebration for me. However, I got disengaged fortunately (you read that right) and so I thought it was gonna be a partner-less birthday this year. It didn't bother me much as I know the girls will make me happy.

Ellis, Radia, Irin, Widie and Aizah, thanks for waking up early on a Saturday morning to celebrate my special day. I was expecting a rejection when I suggested we did breakfast but I got just the opposite. You guys are just special in many ways I can't describe!

Ellis, you got me there when you said you could not make it and Widie, your presence was a great surprise!

Nani, Nikki and Alop, thanks for the room and being there for me. Especially Nani and Nikki, thanks for entertaining my irritating-ness prior to the day! I still owe you both birthday presents and fyi, I will keep being an irritant to you both - forever!

Last but not least I am thankful that GOD presented me with this special irritant who managed to win my heart and who was there with me the moment I turned 28 and was there to fetch me and I just can't express enough just how glad that we crossed path. I thought wrong when I thought I was gonna be partner-less this year.

And so the new beau is called Izan and it's been good so far....

A friend told me 28th is always the best for some reasons. Well, mine has got a good start so we shall see......:)
