A year wiser...

So I will be a year older this Sunday... I used to get real excited about birthdays, because my mom would throw really fantastic parties for me... When I was very very young, like 3-6 (before school days), I remember my birthday would fall during puasa and raya. And we would be at my grandma's house, my relatives would sing and all and I was very sad that no one could eat during the day (when it was puasa time).
Then when I was in primary school, I would send out invites to my friends for the party, and my sister would have the fun and games session. We would give out presents for the winners (and most of the time, I would be one of the winner because Im such a sore looser) hahahaha

And then I remember once, this was a few years ago, when my sister just came back from England from her studies, (I think it was 2001), it was my 18th birthday, my sister sent out an invite for a surprise party (which didnt end up to be a surprise because some of my friends could not keep shush). Anyway, she had a photo of me during early secondary school (I must have been 13) with HUGE glasses and very nerdy looking on the invitation card and email...Sent to everyone!!! At first I thought it was so mean of her to do it :(, but later I realised, it was all sent to my closest friends and my relatives, so they all knew me how I looked then anyway. And I'm sure my sister didnt do it to hurt me, in fact now, when she reminded me about it, I feel loved by my family...hehehehe (thats what siblings are for, I guess)..
My sister, her close friends and my close friends, decorated the house with balloons, ribbons, the pool had floating candles, there were candles everywhere by the entrance, the tables etc..It was very nice....
And they had my favourite cake... :)

This year, I don't think I will be celebrating big. I will take it easy. Maybe a quiet romantic dinner with hubby...
Ive already got some presents from some friends. My sister, brother in law and brother have given me their presents. And I love them all!!!
Thank u guys...
