5 gifts

i surprisingly didn't write any birthday wish list this year. but i'm very happy with all the wonderful birthday gifts i got from my friends.

1. billabong wallet from mapet. in my lifetime have never bought myself a wallet. and i don't know why, i just don't buy myself wallets. its either its a gift or a hand me down from mother superior. few years ago, claire bought me a nice pink roxy wallet which lasted 2 years. then mother superior gave me a more 'professional' looking long black wallet which lasted, well, 3 years. then now i have a nice long brown billabong one from mapet (which i chose myself by the way and handed it over to mapet so she can give it to me with a happy birthday greeting!) thanks pet!

2. coach wristlet from karen. i have been eyeing on karen's wristlets. she has a few coach wristlets that i always borrow cuz i don't dare buy cuz coach here in singapore is extremely overpriced. haha. sorry to say but yeah, its quite expensive here. and i will not spend 15,000 pesos for wristlet. karen lends me her stuff except for her prized possession: her lv bag. cannot touch. very expensive. especially with my heave and careless hands. that bag will be badly damaged once i use it. haha. kar, thanks for the wristlet. you don't know how much i love it!

3. my birthday cake from krysse and mimi. =) the beautiful birthday cake with 2 big candles and 7 small ones. 27. that's what it meant. and oh yes, the birthday song from the 7,107 staff. i looooveee birthday cakes. i like the traditional photo op of me and my friends with the cake, making a wish, blowing the cake and slicing of the cake. and yes, in that order. for me a birthday is not a birthday without a birthday cake and candles being blown. thank you ladies =)

4. calvin klein euphoria. euphoria n. A feeling of great happiness or well-being. [New Latin, from Greek, from euphoros , healthy : eu- , eu- + pherein , to bear.] euphoric. enough said.

5. diamond earrings. beautiful. thank you bruno. =)



but you know what, its not all about the material things i get in life. at the end of the day, its always the effort and thought that count. and above all things, it is all about relationships and people who remembered my special day, people who took 5 seconds of their time to message me and wish me a happy birthday.

i am just thankful i have a wonderful, meaningful, peaceful and blessed relationship with my friends.
