Watashi no tanjoubi (My birthday)

24th November is my birthday. This year is kinda special, as it's the first birthday I've celebrated where I feel I'm part of a complete family (with Puan Mama Sarah, and the two little ones). Everything felt right in place today...

Anyway, while I was working today here is what Sarah and PMS were up to:

Sarah was sneakily baking a cake.

Chocolate ... Yum!

Signing the birthday card with crayons; lots of multi-coloured circles and lines.


PMS was busy preparing everything else - the various kinds of food (Ayam percik, tauhu sumbat, kuey tiaou [how to spell huh?] etc2222)

The birthday cake in it's final, ultimate form.



Sarah wanted to blow the candles too

Uncle De, Auntie De and family kindly came to join the party :)

For my birthday present, PMS generously got these: exactly what I want & need; running work shoes, without laces and black in colour. Exactly the kind of style I like. Comfortable to wear at work, semi-casual and perfect for running after cardiac arrests :D

Quite expensive too .... thanks Bie!

No doubt PMS and Amar were tired after the dust settled.

Thank you EVERYONE who wished me happy birthday, you've all made the day very special indeed. May Allah bless you all. Thank you for the kind wishes & the lovely thoughts. To O-K & KKL, hope you enjoyed the food on my behalf, it definitely seems like you guys did!

I had a great day both at work and at home. At work, we enjoyed an extended tea break, complete with various goodies & munchies - chocolates, biscuits, crisps ... even icecream (it's winter).

Excellent day, thank you everyone.

Mama Sarah sure understand and know her husband. The shoes are so you Mynn. But then again, you've been dropping hints dulu lagi,kan?

Question for Mama Sarah: If it was just you choosing a pair of shoes for your doctor husband, (and not taking into consideration ALL those hints from Mynn) wouldnt you have gone for that shining pair of black, soft-leather Bally shoes? ;)

Congratulations on the new pair of shoes. They definitely look comfortable enough to run about in after cardiac arrests. 'Course, you wouldn't be doing much running after having a cardiac arrest now, would you?

I echo OK's wish: Wishing you a long and prosperous life.
