Words to soak in...

“I love you…I love you…I love you.  I love you anyway, fully, completely, perfectly, and that will never, ever change from now until eternity.”

The stuff I wasn't expecting...

*post birthday post*

How do I even start counting my thankfuls this round?

I made some pretty concrete plans this year.
Like ordering the cake, bowling around 5pm and Koyah at 8.30pm when they start frying the noodles have been on my mind for a few weeks.
Add-ons just last week was that there was breakfast with the girls who flew in a day earlier and a movie before bowling.
Which was fine. Still on the plan. And I was content with my plan.
Even when there wasn't the 1.30pm slot I wanted for the movie and had to go for the 11.50am slot,
I thought I can surely kill 3 hours hanging out at 1st Avenue before PB.

In actuality, I had to kill like 5-6 hours because the movie wasn't that long and bowling was super short.
And then Koyah was closed.

Yet...
Ended up it was better than what I had planned.
Or maybe I was enormously relieved that emo day finally came.


Ended up I managed to include a so called prank I love that involves showing up unexpectedly at people's house.
And I didn't fail that morning. =D


Ended up I managed to do 3 other stuff that I've been wanting to do but there hasn't been a proper time for.
And there's such a beauty, being in awe and having an awareness that not being a stickler to concrete plans or to be disappointed when plans fail can bring little surprises to myself.

What was priceless and uncountable is the time and effort spent with all I met up with including a sick Jen.

Each of them that's such a blessing in my life right this moment.

Then there was the things I received.

Chocolate from Lyin!

Angpow.

From Rachel's mum. A really unexpected surprise in the morning.

I think I'm a first outside of family to get it, no?

McDonald's Float

Stolen from a Spice and Ice meal.

The cemetery I've been longing to visit.
This happened only because;
a) Parking at Penang Bowl was just nearby.
b) It was still broad daylight
c) I was safe.

Walking all around the Padang before Koyah.
Having random conversations.
Eating gummy worms and roses.
Watching a kid flying a very interesting set of small kites.

The mosque I've been dying to take shots of every time I passed by.
Somehow there was less traffic that made stopping Odie in front of it possible.

Lovely western food that happened because Koyah was closed for their Raya.
First time visiting this place.
And it was befitting a birthday meal.

Pupu, my new USO from Jen and Popo my old baby all hooked up.
Lol.

Birthday Card
Teary at the heartfelt words from Vi.

Nandos
Just imagine. Of all people. Treated by Slavedriver at dinnertime today. Lol.

Sorry, guys...

*a fuzzy post*

I couldn't deal with annoying people sober.

I knew I was going down that road the moment I started singing along to the music.

What do they know of the last seven to ten years?

How can everything be just assumed and criticized over?

It's like being challenged to be rebellious and annoying me further to be at my worst.

And every time, I fail to let His grace get me through it.

I'm thankful that I only had to deal with one for the whole day instead of two.

I'm thankful that the lashings in my head stayed mostly in there.

I'm thankful that Vi and Lyin was with me.

Else there might have been serious damage done.

#227 Thank God I don't have to wash my hair today!!!!

Because I'm still tired.
And I'm already tired at the thought of being stuck in dresses today.
I've only gone for long hours in one on the 1st day of CNY!

Today is going to be worth the struggle.

Congratulations, San!!!!!!

Yesterday was awesome, out of my mind.

Was out for over 12 hours!
So many unexpected gifts and things.

Chocolates, an angpow, a Unidentified Soft Object (USO) called Pu Pu, 

the cemetery, fireworks and the mosque.

So Freakin' Friggin' BLESSED!

Am so thankful.

The only regret is probably forgetting to call my brother to wish him in the midst of everything.

But then, I also forgot all my directions in Penang.

Lol.
And oh, not only my Birks decided to give up on me,
the strap of the bag I was carrying for the day came off as well.



I so need to pack my things now.
Photos will have to wait!

You are 5 year old!

Happy Birthday, Blog!

Can you tell I'm so excited?
Was going to do the whole midnight thing.
But someone had a football match on and I was pooped from a long day at work.
Ended up waking up at 6am for a little SELF INDULGENCE.
=D

All packed and ready for distribution!

Now I can go back to snuggling in.
