Turning thirty something.

I had a great birthday party this year! It was the first time having it in those posh place where the staff came in packs to sing happy birthday song to you.


They asked me to stand up, I was very lazy to, and teased back if they wanted me to stand on the table. They said no problem if I liked to do that, and after some moments of hesitation, I said "ok, let's do it then!" and raised my right knee up like real, and some of them really thought I was serious. Haha.. caught them there, it was truly fun.

"Present this card on your next visit, and we'll give you a FREE onion loaf", how about that?

Cake was courtesy of my friend, not them. It was a very yummy mango mousse cake. Deliciously sinful!

My hubby was truly generous that night, spending close to RM300 for that birthday dinner for me. That is part of the birthday gift too, he has absolutely no idea what to get for me. I guess after all these years, it's not so important anymore. More importantly, it's spending time with the loved ones, I am sure mostly everyone would agree with me, hoh?

I took my mom to a boutique for her to choose something for herself, as my birthday gift to her. Somehow, I figured it's more important for me to celebrate my birthday with her, knowingly how painfully she had delivered me to this world thirty something years ago.

Actually, I admit I was being partially selfish too, I must say. I wanna train my children to do the same to me when they grow up too. I'm not very sincere, huh?

The other day, I told my eldest son the reason I'm giving a birthday gift to"Y-po" is she was the one to give birth to me and without her, there wouldn't be me, and without me, there would not be any him either, would he? He said "Then, should we be thanking Y-po's mother too? And also Y-po's mother's mother ....?

For an instant, I do not know whether he was trying to be funny or smart, but it took me rather by surprised. It amazes me how his brain cells can be simulated so fast. My reply to him "Never mind about Y-po's mother, she's not alive anymore, we just concentrate on those who's living, ok?" To that, he took it without any other comments.

So, that also means when it's papa's birthday, we need to make sure we celebrate it with his mom too, to enforce that idea to our children.


Thanks for those who sent me birthday wishes, always touches my heart and made my day. Especially to that someone who never failed to give me a tinkle every year ever since we have known each other, no matter how.

And yes, I am now officially thirty err........
