Happy Birthday

I turn another year older today. When I was a little girl birthday was always a big day for me. Not that I get to hold parties (although I did have one when I was 9 and another one when I turned 21), but because it was the only day the whole year that I can get away with a lot of privileges, like lots of TV, going out, no homework, and get to choose a present of my wish. And being a November baby means I get to enjoy my birthdays during school holidays, except for the O and A Levels. Well adult birthdays, as we all know, have no privileges, no off days (unless it was a public holiday). But it's still nice when people remember and send you good wishes. And for me there were a few memorable ones, like the one 10 years ago when hubby proposed, one in Hawaii on my honeymoon, one when I got hired by my last bank employer, another which Hubby planned a surprise for me to swim with pink dolphins at Sentosa, and one nasty one which I cried the whole day (nope not going to say why). Hubby is always nice and will take time off to spend with me on my birthday every year (and sometimes plan surprises too, which may turn out to be shocks at times, but still nice because of the thought and heart involved). And just for that I guess this day becomes special, and I'm grateful for that.

And here is our celebration spread at MOF @ Bugis - yummy shabu shabu. Happy Birthday to me! And Happy Thanksgiving too!
