Jules turns 27…
Greetings! I must admit , after the death of my Granma, I had almost lost all inspiration and moods to blog. As I mentioned in tht blog, I’ve never faced death THIS close, before. Hence, bereaving over the loss of a loved one, particularly one who was very very very close to me, has been quite a ‘new’ experience. *Sigh. Oh well, this blog’s ’bout my birthday, so let’s make a li’l summary of events that took place. My birthday celebrations probably kicked off on Monday when Alina D’Cruz, my buddy frm high-school whisked me off to a surprise location for dinner! I love surprises, and it was so nice havin’ her pick me up frm my home and take me to someplace special. We then arrived at Victoria Station and I was leaping with joy, being the meat-crazy-carnivorous woman I am! Pigged out on a sumptiuos cuisine of lamb chops and oxtail soup. Delicious!
Then, moments before the stroke of midnite , on the ve of my b’day, I remembered the good ‘ole days when Granma would phone me the day prior, to wish me for my b’day. Hence, I looked at her Obituary page (neatly cut out frm de newspaper, kept within the pages of my favourite Bible). Gazed at her pic, imagining her wishing me frm the heavens. Whilst memories of the good times spent with Granma kept flashing thru’ my mind, Robz came upstairs with a parcel in his hands, whilst singing the classic "Happy Birthday" song. I’ve put pics of the presents,and cards on the Photo Album section in this blog (refer to the Left area of this blog).
Slept peacefully and woke up with a happy feeling, of " Wow, it’s my birthday today" and a huge smile on my face,too! Oh yeah, I have this ‘annual practice’ of takin’ the day off frm work ‘coz I truly believe that i don’t wanna be WORKING my arse off on my birthday! *giggles.
My sweetie darlz Dura frm Penang sent me a huge huge bouquet of fresh yellow roses and I received ‘em first thing in de mornin’ ! It was such a breath-of-fresh air to receive those bright coloured flowers, which instantly brightened up my day. In addition to that, she also sent me a pretty cuddly teddy-bear and a watch , delivered to my door-step in a neatly wrapped parcel ! !
I then went on an Indulgence of self-pampering all day. Booked myself an appointment for a manicure-cum-pedicure session. After goin’ thru’ their entire selection of colours, opted for a neat French Manicure. The girls did it so well, it looks picture-perfect now - both fingernails and toe-nails! 
Then, Mom took me out to a North Indian Restaurant called ‘Sagar’ in Bangsar. Ate n ate n ate like a pig - their buffet selection is mouth-wateringly delicious. Tandoori chicken, briyanni rice, yoghurt, garlic tarka dhall, paneer, and the list goes on! Afta lunch, Mom and I decided to do some window shopping in B’sar Shopping C’plex. Nothin’ beats the sheer bliss of loitering around a mall, on a workin’ day, dressed in casual clothes. The rebellious nature within often kicks in, and it just feels so darn good, knowin’ that others are workin’ very very hard at office whilst I get the day off! *evil smile..
Amidst these outings, there were the constant sms-es and phone calls flowin’ in all day, wishing me for my B’day. Ahhhhhh, I just love that. Tht ONE DAY in the year, when everyone (near and dear ones) calls you to wish u!
Mom’s never been a big fan of gourmet coffee, so literally dragged Mom into Dome’s for a li’l chit-chat n coffee. Daddy joined us later, and it was all cosy as I spent some nice ‘quality’ time with Mommy and Daddy.
After sending ‘em back home, drove off to the hair saloon, ‘coz de day wouldn’t be complete until and unless I get a relaxing head massage n hair wash! Yeppp, told u I was on a rampage of self-pampering didn’t I? Hehehe…. I just love the way tht lady blow-dries the hair, with tht li’l bounce and shine! Very very rejuvenating.
Robz came back home frm work, and off we went to Eden Seafood for a lovely romantic dinner. Lots n lots of pics on the dinner, in my Photo Album,too. Pls do refer to those for illustration purposes!
All in all, I had a marvellous and magnificent birthday, thanks to all those precious loved ones who made the entire day so special for me. I often try and make birthdays special for loved ones around me, with my favourite dialogue of , " Birthdays only come ONCE a year, so make the best of it, and enjoy every moment of it " . And on the 10th, I truly had a fantastic time,too. Thank you! ! !
