I always regard my birthday as just another ordinary day which I prefer to keep it low-profile or celebrate it with only my loved ones. Nonetheless, I've been lucky enough to have a cake each year and big presents from my partner.
This year is especially thoughtful of my partner in surprising me. A two-night stay at my home city, a hotel overlooking the KLCC twin towers which I consider it as my second home. The night was full of surprises, firstly with a dinner at my favourite chinese restaurant in Brickfields. Then, a drive to the hotel which, Room 1233 has already been filled with my belongings and essentials. It reminded me of the comfort of my own home. The amount of small details looked upon were just simply amazing.
I quickly settled in and moments afterthat, I was told that my very close girlfriends are on their way. We met at the hotel lounge for drinks and some catching ups. I was truly amazed by their appearances and dressing which indeed, very chic!
We adjourned to the room for pressies time and I must say, this year, I have the best presents so far! A M&C Champagne from Bro, Audrey Hepburn's biography, a travel bluelist, picture frame, a musical jewelry box and of course, a laptop from my partner. I was also blessed with the most thoughtful gift of skin lotions to nurse my dry skin, phone calls from Maldives and a long-timed college pal and text messages from buddies in Singapore.
Halfway through my impatience of unwrapping the pressies, a trolley was pushed in, with a square chocolate cake sat proudly with a candle lit. The predictable tune of happy birthday was sung, I made a wish, blew the candle and cut the cake. At this very moment, a sense of blissful-ness and joy melted in my heart with the warmth of love shown by these very people of my humble life.
My partner also gave me the most romantic Valentine's Day and birthday cards with messages I will always treasure. I am indeed very appreciative and my sincere gratitude to all of you who remember this very happy day...Cheers!
