The first day of my 33rd year on planet earth
It is strange that the older you get, the more you may want a quiet birthday.I remember that when I was young ......
Birthdays were always a bash!
Maybe because it falls during the holidays and everyone was in the mood to celebrate for and with you, maybe it is just the right month. Is that such thing as wrong months? Yes, to me, exam months are wrong months. :P
When I was a little girl, think as young as Zoe, I already asked my mum for a birthday party. She created one for me. The guests were cousins and neighbours and there were even disco music! Hahaha .... imagine some small kiddos twirling around in a very small HDB flat? Hahaha ....
Secondary School days were fun. Birthdays were celebrated in dayssssssssss ..... of course not forgetting all the sabo-tage. Like being smashed with eggs, ketchup, floor and water ????? Ha, those were the days.
Now, how did yesterday go?
My little girl self-made a handbag for me. It is made from A4 paper, comes with a handle, but when you carry it by the handle, the base will drop, so you gotta carry it like you are carrying a box.
She put a pen and paper in there, so that I can write whenever I wanted.
She put a self-created game, so that I can play with it when I am bored.
She put a top in it, so that I can spin with it.
She put her first birthday letter in it, so that I can read it.
When she asked me what cake do I want, she was quiet for a moment but agreed with my choice. Coz, I wanted .... durians !!! And she hates that, hahaha ....
She sang me a birthday song and gave me lots of love and hugs.
She drew a birthday cake and attempted to draw 33 candles on it, but gave up at 13, I think, coz no more space on the cake.
My son ? He was too happy to be out whole day, it was eating and playing and eating and playing, till his battery life flats out at 8pm.
We put the kids with Adeline and had a very long and good lunch at Island Cafe, Level 4 at Tangs. Hey, ladies, next time we place our kids there, can consider this cafe, tea time specials are only at $6.50. kekeke ....
It has been a long while since I felt so relaxed. No rush, no burdensome thoughts, no fatigue.
Walking down Orchard Road can be fun, esp, if you are with your loved one. Almost walked into House of Condom, hahahaaha .... but didn't lah.
Night time, no part two .... coz aunt is here for a visit. hahaha .... corny, I know. It's holiday ! and it is ending soon ! sigh sigh ...
Love,
