Birthday, birthday, happy birthday….

It is true, if you think you want to be happy, you will somehow be happy...

Today 14 August is my birthday. Surprise, surprise I actually had a nice day today. I think it is true what people say, if you decide to have fun and be happy, sometimes you will. In actual fact, today is the culmination of a week long celebration that I declared for myself. I started my birthday week by deciding to wear new clothing for everyday of my birthday week.

My celebration began with the purchase of a Pink iPod Nano. This is a present from my brother Arif. I name it Pink Nano due to the colour, don’t ask me why I bought pink…maybe it is the girl in me. Reminds me of Melur as well. It is also known as the iPod with a thousand songs since to date I have downloaded 1084 songs in it. Thank you dear brother…… love the prezzy. Just in case you are wondering I have put it to good use as well. I have successfully gone to the gym nowadays….long may it continue.

Then Muzi gave me her present as well. These are all given way way way before my birthday….Now I have to figure out when and where to wear the prezzy so that it will be shown in its best light.

I think this will look nice with the new coat I made at Sandra. Only thing is the coat is still at Sandra's..

Then today I decided that I will look the nicest… purple baju kurung and contrasting green accessories. Purple and green actually works, I was inspired. Here are the proofs, nice or not? Check out the green handbag… the source of much envy of many people.

Purple and Green?????? I was inspired

This was the shoes that I was to wear but when put together the colour scheme did not go.. oh well you win some you loose some

Just before I went of to work Angah called and sang happy birthday to me. Little that I know that a bigger surprise is in store for me courtesy of them, so let’s leave this story for later.

When I arrived at work a couple of my staffs greeted me happy birthday and there was a present waiting on my chair. Nice one guys!!!! Then I got a further 2 cards and some vouchers. Yeah… this looks promising and I know already that we will be having a birthday lunch.

The whole world knows my love for shopping, so they gave me vouchers to shop..

After lunch off to an insignificant meeting (insignificant if put in context of my birthday celebration that is..) After I came back, they were calling for a cake cutting ceremony.

Go ahead madam, cut that cake

Celebrate, celebrate and celebrate some more

When I got to the balcony I saw this huge bouquet of flowers. I knew it was mine but I am absolutely ecstatic when I saw from whom it was… the senders came all the way from Vancouver. Thanks Roy, Angah, Melur & Maman for the flowers. It was really icing on the cake to my fantastic birthday so far. And Maman, yes Mak Long also wishes that she can be in Vancouver in 4 sleeps.

Big big big bouquet bring an even bigger pleasant surprise

Now if only I can get him to remember my birthday and wrap himself as a birthday gift…now that would top it all

All in all, this year is the best birthday for a while now. I blew my birthday candles twice today and my wishes are the same… may at the same time next year I will be writing my Annus Mirabilis
