The birthday came and went. *swoosh!*

Macam, takde lah trauma pun.
Wonder why people (read: women) dread sesangat nak lalui own birthday, especially once they're past 25 years old..
(LOLs.. imagine me grinning like an idiot here. Yours truly here pun was once like that too.. ;D )

Yes, I turned 31 yesterday. Thanks for the lovely wishes and prayers which were sent my way (I'm still receiving those wishes today.. hehe TQ!). This year's celebration (if it can even be called that..) is somewhat subtle. I remember last year I spent the birthday eve and the wee hours of the morning on a sort-of date.

This year, nothing of that sort.

Perhaps it's contributed to the fact that I've been feeling unwell for the whole of last week. (Erm, actually, am still not feeling well.. still coughing, plus the occassional headaches.. cepat lah baik.. napa sakit-sakit nih...?)

Or maybe it's due to the fact that, this year there's no 'someone' to whisk me away.. lols..

No, I didn't get everything on my wishlist. But it's OK.. you don't always get all that you ask for, right..

Besides, I also love presents during non-birthday days.
Hehe..

Lately I've been feeling like I need to get away from KL. I've just been cooped up for too long, I've had it up to here (imagine my hand at my neck hehe..)
Which is why I almost, almost planned a UK-getaway. I've even worked out the budget for it. Surveyed flights and train schedules and fares.

I said 'almost' kan..?
*sigh*

On a brighter note, I'm off to a free-and-easy trip to Macau - flight and hotel all paid for. Pergi je lah. What I'm going to be doing there, is still in planning stage, coz I've got about a month before the actual flying off day.
Some suggestions still under consideration:
(1) Apply for visa to enter China. Go to Shenzhen (or something that sounds like it, nak kena check it out first). Go shopping. Hehehehe
(2) Take a hoverboat to Hong Kong. Day trip. If really tak tau nak gi mana, just hop on MRT (or is it called MTR? confused) and check out the sights at the stations (well, maybe not ALL the stations.. hmm...)

As I said, semua still under planning stage.

Any suggestions what to do / where to go / etc?

I'm at a total loss sebab serious takde idea hehe..

Go to that Macau trip and have fun. Check out on the internet the nice places that you can visit while you're there. And yes, do visit Hong Kong. And don't forget to shop like mad. I've been told that the stuff there are quite cheap. In fact, me and hubby ada terfikir gak nak pergi if rezeki permits it.. Insya Allah...

As for the birthday thingy.. I hate the fact of turning 30, but life has to go on. Just embrace it and enjoy.

Take care...

Hi Pok Ku!

Thanks for the birthday wish.

So... any chance of you hosting a makan-makan session?

I hate the fact that i have a '3' now at the beginning rather than a '2'. Tu ajer. Makes me feel OLD giler...

I don't know about HK. What I meant was Macau. Go shop there. I hear people say goods are cheap there.
