I used to get very excited with the day.
A year I can be counting down a month before.
A year I will be counting down on the eve.
A years I can celebrate for weeks.
A year I can be planning how and who I want to celebrate.
Just like for my 21st.
Couple of years before “the day”, I was wishing it will be very grand and to have it in chalet (that was the “in” thing during that era).
But when I officially reached 21, I didn’t want it to be grand but just simple celebration with close friends and family.
In my mid 20s, my wish of how-I-want-to-celebrate remained as simple celebration over fellowship with friends and family.
Some years I can be so blessed to have quite many celebrations. All these I really thank God for the different groups of friends He placed in my life. Always appreciate their love, time and generosity.
But towards the late 20s (ouch!!!), especially this year, my wish of how-I-want-to-celebrate changed.
Super simple or even no celebration. Want it to be super low-profile.
Being very selective in the friends to meet.
Prefer no cake, no birthday song, no card. Didn't want the attention.
Is this common? Or is it just me?
Hmmm… Anyway still, thank God for a nice one this year.
Though all were almost belated but I thank God, really thank God for all my friends!
Touched by their effort to want to date me!
Appreciate their time and presence!
Overwhelmed by their love and generosity!
The very first was with friends from CHEC, together with Aaron's birthday.
From part1 dinner to part2 drinks to part3 cake-cutting, really appreciate all their effort and love.
Applied leave from JAMs and went on self-pampering on actual day.
Started the day with my favourite cuppa from Starbucks then movie then chill again at TeaDot.
Just when I thought my day is over, Mr and Mrs Cher made a surprise appearance with yummy (ex) cake and prezzie at my place.
They don't have to but they did.
They think is a way but I think is big effort and time required.
THey said I made a difference in their lives but I say they left footprints in mine.
With Pst Lily's zone, together with Ivan's birthday.
Overwhelmed by their love, presence and generosity.
With the kakis, together with Zhi's birthday.
Simple but great fellowship time. Love and appreciate all of them.
ps: Cheers to our "retirement plan"~~
