My birthday. I wasn't looking forward to it actually. Growing older isn't one of my hobbies. But we can never stop time, can we?
Birthday wishes came pouring in since early hours of 21 July. And I truly appreciate it. What I did later that day...
DINNER
A few friends brought me out for dinner. To Pizza Hut we went. But just before we arrive, they surprised me! With a big, round strawberry covered cheesecake and a lit up candle on top. It was delicious.The cake not the candle. Moist and not too cheesy for a cheesecake. After that early dessert we entered Pizza Hut. We all had a 5-course special. And I must say, we were so full after 4th course and barely ate the one scoop of ice cream for dessert. I finished mine of course. Because I went out with an empty stomach to prepare myself for such a feast. After the meal, the exchange of gifts :) A card and present I received :D Thank you thank you so much. Thank you to Pavitra for the delicious cheesy surprise. Thank you to Sharanya who was probably the mastermind of all these. And thank you Jac and Sharon for your wishes and much felt presence. Hahaha...
HOME
Rushed home as fast as I could. I knew my family would have something for me. Reached home to another surprise. Another CAKE! This time a soft, vanilla cake topped with fruits. Not only that. My mother bought chocolates, yoghurt, presents and my siblings even prepared a little performance. Astounded I was. Tired as I was at that moment, I persevered and continued the 'partying' with my dear family. My mother gave me a tender bracelet, my sister gave me a pretty shawl, my brother gave me a practical thumbdrive(because I actually asked for one from him). My father, well, he honoured us with his presence. Hahaha... THANK YOU. Last but not least, the performance. I felt so embarrassed even before it started. Apparently, my siblings prepared a dance cum song performance. A HAPPY BIRTHDAY dance cum song and a little re-enactment of my violent tendencies. Okay, this may not make sense, but it does to me. It was so funny that I couldn't help laughing real hard. My mother took a video of it but I'm still too embarrassed to see it and show it to anyone. So it shall remain in the family. Yes.
Syukran and Alhamdullilah for everything.
Alhamdullilah for all the care and concern. Alhamdullilah that people no matter how busy they are, actually took the time to plan surprises, get gifts, send their sincere wishes and etc. LOVE them to bits. In times like this, it highlights the people who are real and will always be there for you.
~Salam~
Haha you are very welcome :) And thank you for that so very adorable teddy!! Although getting older is not very appealing, birthday celebrations surely are aren't they ;)
