my 31st befday

on wednesday, for the first time in a long time, i woke up with no chorus of happy birthdays ringing in my ears. granted, i'm living away from my parents and brothers now, but i was already living apart from them last year. what was different this year was that he was also away from me, miles apart.

it was weird.

for the first time in a long time too, i took leave for my birthday (or did i also do that last year? hmmm). what better way to start your very own new year than to sleep in late!

and what better suprise than to have a bouquet of purple delights sent up my doorsteps! granted i DID look extremely 'glamorous' when receiving the bouquet with my right-outta-bed look, but it fitted in nicely with the bawling-my-eyes-out look that followed after i closed the door on the sweet uncle who brought me the purple delights, when it hit me that he'd ACTUALLY taken the trouble to do this. for me. and for that i love him.

see. its not difficult to make a girl happy :)

so that was how the 1st day of my 31st year of existence was for me. oh and i also treated myself to a massage, went on a shopping spree (2 pairs of shoes!), had dinner. i feel great. and more importantly, i feel young!

cant WAIT to show him my 'appreciation' later :P
