older! again...
Our first birthdays as husband and wife. Born 4 yrs and 10 days apart, we're once again 'older'.
Ck fulfilled his wishes of being married before 30! among other things and I have 4 more years to check off the rest of my 'must do before 3-0' list. There were no big parties or celebrations this time round and for many birthdays to come I think. To me, birthdays MUST have at least some sort of cake, candles and a birthday song. For ck, he's a lucky man because he got it all! Provided by yours truly of course!
Breakfast in bed, a birthday lunch at his favourite restaurant, a birthday dinner/supper, a special birthday 'Baked Alaska' spiked with Rum & Raisins topped off with 'recycled' candles and Happy Birthday sign..
He even got to do a birthday treasure hunt for his 3rd gift! The only downside was that he had to work the whole day even though it was a Saturday...
I share my birthday with my grandparents' anniversary. They have been married for 55 years! Want to hear a scandal?!? My Ah Kong was my Popo's teacher! *eeks!*
Had to work that night so got to my grandparents place only after 9. Had plenty of cucur udang waiting for us. Anything with prawns is always good but to my horror.. NO CAKE! How can one have a birthday without cake?? There's this aunt of mine who's always baking some sort of cake for someone's birthday but this time round, NO CAKE!
"woe is me"
Mummy however had a surprise in store for me. No official birthday cake but she made a jelly cake instead! =) (by the way, her jelly products are for sale! call or email me)
At 11.15pm.. 45 mins til my birthday was officially over, I finally got my candles! hehe.. Together with a proper birthday cake and song. (thanks I!)
So another birthday has passed and we both feel just the same.. except for the fact that we're older and perhaps wiser?? For ck, hitting the big 3-0, it actually signifies the start of life. (this applies only to men!) For me, *sigh*...
M asked, " So what's on your birthday list this year? Push up bra, eye cream n wrinkle cream? Multi-vitamins??"
me: "Eye cream, high metabolism and not so stretchy skin!"
M: "Welcome to the mid-20s". *grin*
Oh well...
