8 of Feb: my birthday
On Friday night, Redbull & I went to New Udon Thai for their mookata cause he was craving for it and has told me one week ago. Halfway through the fattening yet hard to resist supper, Shell ran towards our table, yelling 'HELLO' followed by the rest casually strolling in. Stunned. Very stunned. Swear my life took on a freeze mode at that point. I was staring at them with a silly smile hanging on my face while trying to piece the puzzle together.
Shell? Thought she was at KL? Eh, why is Freeman here? Wait, wingyin is here too. Janice too. Huh? All came for mookata? Why is Alvin grinning sheepishly as if he accomplished something? Is that something this? This surprise for my birthday? YES IT IS! My mind was processing info 10x slower than usual.
I was really taken aback as long were those days where we always planned birthday surprises for each other so for many years I was definitely not in the state of preparing myself for a surprise. A really successful surprise and I'm really touched for my gfs' presence and all these wouldn't have taken place if not for Shell's meticulous idea.

A simple wish every single year.
The cake baked by Redbull which was also the first cake he baked for me before we were together.
Not forgetting my favorite DIY card from him.
The whole of Saturday was dedicated to a trip to Adventure Cove.
"Almost there. Almost there!"
FINALLY. At the entrance of Adv Cove.
Put my waterproof pouch to good use.
To GOOD use, that was what I thought initially.
The last few photos before I realized the real 'good' news.
GOOD NEWS WAS
I forgot to zip the pouch!
So smart I deserve a standing ovation for this.
While I was happily snapping away, my phone was enjoying the taste of Adv Cove's waters...
Saturnight with family with my Heroine whipping up my special orders of the food I love.
Cheesy mussels prawns.
Saba fillet
Lalaaaa
The two charms my family got for me with my siblings hooking them on for me.
My birthday meal with him at Miam Miam on Sunday. Though this was at the bottom of my to-visit-list, I'm glad it didn't disappoint despite me feeling angst due to the unavailable souffle au curry that was the only one I wanted to try.
His main
And mine. Squid ink baked rice. The saltiness isn't too overwhelming and the taste of seafood is relatively pungent.
One year older and I hope I'm one year wiser too. A contradicting feeling when it comes to facing the reality of officially stepping into the working society. The fear of not knowing what to expect. The fear of judgmental beings. The fear of inferiority to other job candidates. What job opportunities would come my way? What range of salary would I settle for for my very first permanent job? So many more questions which I guess can only be answered when I finally come face to face with the frame of decision making. Headache.
Let's pray that I'll be blessed in this upcoming phase of my life.
