Twenty-Six!

Yup! 26 years old yesterday! And three celebrations this year! =)


First Celebration – 20th September 2008

Had an advance birthday dinner with my girlfriends/business partners and so-called boylets last Saturday. It was a pretty special day as it was the first time we’ve met up with the men in our lives! This is the first time RN and AL met Mister M, although they’ve heard quite a lot about him already. I was kinda anxious as to what their impression of him would be, not that it would make a difference, but it’s always nice to know that your friends approve of the man who makes you happy! Surprisingly, they thought that he was a really nice guy, obviously putting aside his situation and all.

The dinner went out really well although everyone thought that I wasn’t really in the mood for it. Well, when you’ve worked overtime for a whole week and on a weekend, you get pretty exhausted! They thought I didn’t enjoy the evening knowing that it was my special night, but who wouldn’t enjoy an evening with her girlfriends and her man?! *wink*


Second Celebration – 23rd September 2008

A few weeks before my birthday, I’ve been telling my sisters and cousin to organize a surprise party for me, but obviously that was just me and wishful thinking! Hahaha

My day started out pretty normal, went to work, been greeted by my sisters, a few of my colleagues who remembered. My ever so ‘best’ seatmate surprised me with a little gift. I received a package as well which was from Mister M (he got me 2 books and a card even after giving me a bebe bag during my advance dinner – such a sweet guy)!

Went online and my mom messages me, ‘Don’t forget to go to church!’ So, I thought, ok, let’s go to church. Called up LJ and asked what time the mass is on weekdays, got the info from her and agreed to meet in church and then head over to my place for dinner with the family. Little did I know that she was in on a little surprise that my sisters arranged for me! So, we met up and after a visit to the church, we thought we’d just go back to my place when she suddenly calls me and says we should drop by the mall first. Spend a couple of hours there and finally went home.

It felt like it was just another ordinary day. I was even disheartened when Mister M went home early and said would just spend the rest of the night sleeping (yup, he was in on the surprise as well).

When I reached home, my other sister wasn’t home yet and I was a bit disappointed coz obviously you’d think she’d be home early coz it was my birthday. My other sister called her up and said she’d be home in 10 minutes and I got a bit suspicious when my sister said she’d wait for her at the lobby of our building. I thought, maybe they got me a cake or something really special and they wanna give it to me at the same time.

When the doorbell rang and I went to open the door, I was welcomed by a chorus of Happy Birthday by my sisters, cousins and friends… something I wasn’t expected! I even got a special gift from my babe! =)

I guess it just shows that however my sisters and I argue, they’d still pull off something like this for me! Love you guys! Muah!


Third Celebration – 26th-27th September 2008

Much awaited weekend getaway at Fujairah Rotana with Mare, my sis and my nephew! Update later! =D
