Hey guys! Sorry been MIA for the past 2 weeks plus, it's funny how every time I planned to update my blog, something just has to come up! Finally found a window to do so!
So as the title says, I'm officially 22 years old! I'm not so sure if I should be happy or sad about that, I've always taken pride in being the 'young one' among my circle of friends, not so young anymore now. This year's birthday celebration was definitely much better than the last. For those of you who don't know me, I actually spent my 21st birthday, admitted in the hospital with dengue, something I never thought in a million years would happen!
The night before, I was treated with a birthday surprise dinner at Stratosphere, Troika Sky Dining in KL! We had the famous KL Tower as our view! It was an Italian place, and while I've been to many Italian restaurants, I've never been to a semi-fine dining one, so I couldn't understand all the Italian words on the menu! We picked up on a few English words and tried to make out what is what. Thankfully, our order was great! Then for dessert, I got a little surprise, which turned out to be absolutely delicious!
Since we were in the heart of KL city, we went to KLCC Park and walked around for a bit, just taking in the quiet, beautiful atmosphere. It started to rain, so we headed back. The night was pretty much perfect, couldn't have felt luckier ;)
On the next morning, my actual birthday, I went to work as per usual. I was running late, when my colleagues texted me saying there's a power outage in our building, so they're all just hanging out at Old Town White Coffee downstairs. When I reached, they saw me coming down from the escalator. For some odd reason, I could see they were like frantically trying to do something on the table and rushing each other. When I reached the table, did I know why! They had planned a surprise for me!
Anyone who knows me, knows I love baking and eating cupcakes. My colleagues had gotten me some red velvet cupcakes from one of the famous cupcake chain stores. They had put on candles and were trying their best to light them before I approached the table, but unfortunately for them, they were sitting right under the fan, so the candles keep blowing out! When they managed to get at least 1 lighted, I just said it was okay and let's just make do with that XD
And of course, they had to sing. Even though I said please don't. I really don't know what are you suppose to do when people are singing 'Happy Birthday' to you! It's like super awkward, and my colleague managed to capture my awkward expressions.
All in all, it was a pretty great birthday! One of my best friends, Lizzie, was having her finals during my birthday, so we only went out to celebrate a couple of days back. Out of our circle, she's the only one still here, the rest are studying overseas. But, that did not stop them from making my day with sweet birthday messages and a card, plus awesome birthday gifts!
I feel really blessed to have all these amazing people in my life. Yes, things could be better with other aspects of my life, but I'm choosing to focus on the best parts, and the people that bring out the best in me.
So thank you, each and every one of you, for taking the time and effort, no matter how small or big, to have made my 22nd birthday special!
Till next post then, ciao!
