Of Birthdays and Things..

Wow.. i've turned 29. Somebody actually convinced me that i was turning thirty this year, and the funny thing is, i believed him. Gosh!.. What's wrong with me?? Umur sendiri pun dah tak ingat ok. signs of old age i guess.. Lols.

When this person told me that i was turning thirty in a few days, i kinda sat back and thought to myself.. Boy.. what else that i haven't done, but i have to do before turning thirty. i guess i've done most of the things that i wanted to do.. Well, not that i have a listto start with anyways. But the thing is, yeah, i think i'm pretty much contented with what i've achieved. Takpala.. i might not have a car or a house on my name.. but i also do not have any loans on me either. So i think that's a pretty good thing.

I've gotten married to a very, very good man, who provides for me in all the ways that he possibly can, and more often than not, he'd provided me with more than i ever needed. I got pregnant and was bestowed with the best gift any woman could ask for, a child... and a beautiful and witty one too! (sorry.. siapa lagi nak puji anak kalau bukan mak dia kan. hehe).

I've got a job that pays me every end of the month. Maybe it doesn't pay as well as my friends who are practicing engineering, but it's enough to pay off the things that i might want for myself, say some pretty shoes and/or bags, clothes, skincare and stuffs. Maybe it doesn't allow me to splurge on say 5 grand Dior or 15 grand Hermes bags, but i could settle for a DKNY or a Guess or an Elle. InsyaAllah, i'll live within my means, and for being able to have a good paying job, i'm thankful, and happy.

I haven't got many friends, but the few friends that i've got are the REAL friends that i can count on for good or for the worst of times. And for that, i'm soo thankful to Allah and to my dear friends.

I've done adrenaline-rushing activities as well. I've gone through police, army and bomba training. It was just for a week of each, but the experience is priceless. I kayak around the island of Pangkor, i've sailed a boat, i've gone into caves, i have an open water diving license.. Hmm.. so yeah, i think i've done all the things that i wanted to do before i turn thirty.

Of course, there are still a few things that i've yet to do like my piano lessons, my salsa, my sewing, my pilates.. That one i think i can still do even after i turn 30. But, the very one thing that i want to do that hasn't really transpired is... drum roll please... of course, to lose weight. Urghhh.. Yep.. still working on that. But then again, when you're born a female, when is it that you don't try to lose weight? Hehe..

Oklah. Cukup lah. To all my friends who texted me / messaged me through fb to wish me a happy bday, i really thank you for all your kind and lovely wishes. Tomorrow, i'm going to have my birthday lunch. Initially i wanted to go to the Coliseum.. sekarang rasa macam nak pergi Chilli's / Italiannies pulak.. Huh. Tak apa, i'll figure it out by tmrw. And mak's making me my favourite pie - the apricot pie!! Yeay!!

Alhamdulillah, i'm so grateful to Allah for this wonderful and beautiful life. :)
