Actually didn't mean to get bangs again, but because the hairdresser misunderstood me and had snipped off a chunk already, I decided not to kick up a fuss.
Last Sat @ Phuture. The music wasn't really popping, plus, my head was spinning by 2am, so I decided to bounce early to Jalan Alor for yummy yummy roadside foodies. Ten thumbs up!
My day of the year is coming up in less than 3 hours GMT +8 time... somehow, it doesn't feel that special. This must be how it feels like after the big 21 celebration, boo.
Everyone keeps asking me what I want for my birthday... hrms... I'm sure I'd appreciate every gift I receive, but please boys and girls, try to steer clear from getting me cosmetics and perfumes, because I have enough to last me throughout this lifetime, and possibly even the next. ;)
Msgs from the girls in Melbourne is making me miss Melbourne. Every time I pack up and leave from Kl to Melb/ Melb to Kl, I feel mixed emotions. Miss Melbourne, miss Kl... can't wait to get back to Melbourne, can't wait to get back to Kl. I guess I am fortunate to have the option of pursuing a life in either countries. Thank you daddy and mommy, and most importantly God for this.
The greatest gift of all would be...
- unconditional love from the partner, the family, and the close friends
- the ability to forgive and forget
- the motivation to be better than the best in my career (so I can buy my own bling when I want, if I want)
- the motivation to be better than the best as a friend, daughter, sister, mother, etc.
- patience and tolerance (I'm darn impatient and hella short with my temper, ppl close to me would know that)
- undying passion for the things I love
- continuous compassion towards the less fortunate
I just want to be happy always, but as we all know, consistent happiness and simplicity is hard to achieve. To be able to achieve what I want to in life, and be content with what I have, will lead to a life of serenity. ;) Thankful for the people around me who love me. They laugh and cry with me, they teach me and learn from me, they motivate me, they defend my name, they focus on my qualities instead of my flaws, the list goes on... Most importantly, they're not afraid to be brutally truthful with me (when I ask for it), and they'll not hesitate to smack me across my face when I am talking nonsense or acting like a total idiot. Again, thank you God. I may not be living my life as a perfect Christian, but I believe in you, and am thankful towards you.
*big smile*

Stumbled on your post today and realized, this is what I feel being in a different country missing the homeland and feeling blah every birthday after the big 2-1. Also trying to slow down and do some yoga to go against the static traffic and angry city (I am the impatient and efficiency-freak queen), not much success. Anyway, life goes on. Great post.
@ MizzDeedee - the lead up to my birthday celebration wasn't fantastic, but the night of celebration itself was awesome! Good company, booze and pressies did it! ;) I'm quite anal with being tidy and competent too... it is rather stressful on ourselves. Take it easy babes.
