Feelin' Twenty-Two

28/2/15 (Saturday)

Monochrome-themed simple backdrop

I turned twenty-two on 26 February, and I had a mini celebration with my close friends and family on 28 February. It was a belated celebration because the actual day was on a Thursday. It was not often for my birthday to fall during CNY, hence it was a CNY gathering cum birthday celebration.

I regretted not having a theme for my 21st last year, so I decided to have the easiest color theme: M O N O C H R O M E

The initial design for the backdrop was to have paper pinwheels pasted on the wall. However, the DIY process failed so I decided to have paper chains instead. The DIY-ing, cutting and pasting was done fast with the help of my sister.

I was quite disappointed with the fact that two of my close friends (Jiaqi and Junwei) could not make it because it was during CNY and they needed to go over to their grandparents' / relatives'. I was still glad that the rest could make it. Besides having a few of my close friends, my ahyi and jiujiu family came over for the gathering cum celebration. Mummy prepared steamboat for the day. We started eating from afternoon and carried on with some gambling (it would be CNY without gambling).

I felt that my backdrop was quite failed because it was too small and hanged too low. However, I was glad to have the celebration because it was a heartwarming one for me.

Blessed 22nd.

Peishi // #TeamBitchy

Peishi came all the way down to Sembawang to give me a surprise on 25th right after ending work. How to be not touched by her actions? She headed down from East to North just to give me a surprise appearance and the gift. After that she had to travel from North back to the West. Thank you so much for the surprise and the effort you put in. Blessed to have you, bitch.

A new yet old watch

She bought me a new leather strap from Fossil for my watch. And she was the one who chose that watch for my 21st birthday gift. The same watch with different strap. Thank you for such a thoughtful gift. Love you!

I had mini celebration in office on 26th. The cake was sponsored by the Accountant who was not around. I applied for half day leave on 26th and one day leave on 27th. I do not wish to be in the office to work over my birthday weekend.

Just nice, we had an appointment for signing the lease of agreement with HDB at 5.40pm. We had to head down to HDB Hub before having my birthday dinner. Luckily, everything was done within 20 minutes which was very fast.

Feelin' 22nd

My beloved boyfriend brought me to Todai at MBS for my birthday dinner. He knew that I had always wanted to dine in there, hence he decided to bring me to Todai for my birthday. I did not take any photos of the spread but it was a not bad experience dining at a high class buffet restaurant. I hope I could go back again for another meal.

Thankful for a loving boyfriend

I had another surprise from Emelia and Leon after I reached home. They surprised me at my doorstep with a birthday cake. I was so touched by their efforts. What else could I wish for?

I really thank each and everyone of you who had put in so much effort for my 22nd. So blessed with all of you with me.

I AM TWENTY-TWO!
