My 26th Birthday!

10th of Sep is always a special day for me, because its my Birthday!!!

This is also a special day for the Cartier family too, they choose to unveil their newly renovated boutique at Takashimaya on this special day! Talk about auspicious date, mine is definately one! =) *big grinz

Put that aside, its reallie a joyous occassion for me less of course that i was sick on my bday. Birthday is always a day that i will look forward to, for many years, i always sink into a mild depression or PMS you called it a few days leading to my birthday. It's weird or there is some weird philosphy theory behind it, but that's like how it had been for me over the years. This year, that feeling was not that strong, it did have, i guess. But i think it did go away pretty fast, and i'm was pretty happy and relax till my bday.

My bday was on Monday, so it was pretty much a long weekend for me. Dear was sweet, she has always been sweet, i guess that's the most understatement i ever made =) Weekend was good because she was with me, like any other normal weekend, her presense just make weekend better and making monday ever so miserable (because we work the next day you see). This week was even better, because its my Birthday, and we can for once say that we looking forward to Monday and We LOVE MONDAY!hahahah.

Talking about birthday, and you will know that it actually means 1 year older. I pretty fine when i was in my teens, that means i'm closer to being consider as matured! (at least that was the thought / remark that i had then) but when u past the legal age of 21 years old and when u just 4 years before u hit the BIG 3, things dont seems to be the same! I guess different stage of life, u think differently!

I think i made the statement last year, quarter of my life is gone, and what have i achieve!? In fact, it should be more than a quarter, i dont think i ever live till 100 years old. I guess sometimes it good to reallie make time to reflect on one self and finding back the meaning to one's life. I guess i do lots of reflection recently, and i kinda conclude God has been kind to me, and i thank god for that. I'm not a religious person, if u think i am that is. Its just that over the years, many things happen, and i come to realize that everything happen for a reason, and it did make me a better person physically and spiritually.

After 26 years of life on earth, i feel that i'm pretty blessed in terms of my state of health, financial, love life, family bonding, etc.... Though it can be better still in terms of some aspect of my life, but i guess one cant be too selfish to demand the best for everything. Treasue what you have is what i always preach myself, and i'm thankful i'm still in a better position than many, but still not the best position i could be in. One must have dreams and at the same time be contented or treasured what one had at that moment.

I'm pretty happy that after being so busy for so many months, my family life is still in check, there still a great sense of bonding when we do reallie sit down and chat our hearts out.

My love life is blossoming, we been through different aspect / stages of our life, though not yet to our next phase of life, but still we have been there for each other and i guess we matured as a person and our love for each other just grew stronger each and every day.

My health state did went through a few scares, but i guess i still considered pretty healthy to some. =)

My financial situation has been good, though like i say it can be better, but i would say i'm in a better position than i was said 5 years ago, when i was going through a rough patch of cos. But i have bigger dreams to achieve and attain. I dont come from a well-to-do family, in fact someone below average, so the hunger for financial success is strong.

Money is not the most essential things in life some might say, but in this society right now, it is big enough to be the root of all evils. I been through times where money has cause strains in my relationship with my love ones. You cant argue the fact on the importance money played in the modern part of our society. Sad, but its the awful truth of life.

So i'm thankful as it is right now, then all i have been good for me.

My birthday was an eventful one starting for the midnight till the end of Monday. Dear has always been very thoughtful, and she just make my day ever so happening and meaningful. Shall not go through in details because the details should just keep right in heart and was not meant to be shared with anyone else =)

Joy is what i can share =)

Anyway She bought me a Mont Blanc Pen! it was like so ex that i got to think twice, thrice or maybe many more times before i would even get one for myself. Sometimes its not the price of the gift, its the thought and the value of the gift that matters, and to me she just went beyond what i think she would be capable of doing. Its not like she earn tones of money, but she exceptional, she's my Superwoman!

My parents gift was cool, i got myself a limited edition Seiko stopwatch as a bday gift, how cool is that!

My sis, she got me something extra-ordinary, she got me boxer shorts! It's a real weird gift from her though. Hahah...

Maybe i will post some pics soon.

Not forgeting birthday wishes from my colleagues and friends, they are a wonderful lot too, its always bring smile to my face to know they do take an effort to wish me! =)

Lastly, its a real enjoyable bday for me. A real special day, where it will always have a special place in my heart, as well as in my memory lane.......................... =)
