My birthday was a good two weeks ago but a surprise came today!
'Better late than never!'. I can't agree more!
A simple meet-up-dinner with my only girlfriends here turned out to be a well-planned-belated birthday surprise for me! ^^ Complete with the best cake in town, two (yes two's sufficient ;p) lit candles and an old-fashioned birthday song playing in the background (in a Chinese restaurant!)
I was bit stunned I must say...cos I usually know when a surprise's coming my way...but not this time. My hair's oily, my face's not made up, my eyes were tired...I had 10 min right after work to get ready for this night out. I really wasn't expecting any pictures to be taken. I was caught off guard! But I really didn't mind :)
I have to say this is more than a birthday celebration for me. I'm probably at one of my most stressful periods in life now and I am not looking my best. From the pictures, I could see that I've aged. I've a lot on my mind at the moment and the bitterly cold winter just doesn't help. I'm reminded again of how fortunate I am to have friends. Friends whom I never thought of making when I first came to this city. We met through the most unexpected circumstances. We became friends almost instantaneously. We got closer over the years. We make a part of each others' weekends. We're very comfortable with each others' company. We know quite well that this will make a huge part of our memories together, in this place, at this age.
A place is made better with the right people around. Thank you.
