I’m 21

I turned 21 two weeks ago on the 27th of June. This is prolly going to be very cliche of me to say this but it was indeed the best birthday I’ve ever had. I was stowed away in a car in the wee hours of that saturday morning and was driven to the cinema where we caught the new transformers movie. I had lunch at Barcelos Grilled Chicken where my closest cousins surprised me with a cake, a giant balloon and a lovely card!

Nadz gave me a bagful of presents which I struggled to carry because it was just so damn heavy! In it was the best DIY card I’ve seen in years, The Body Shop spa goodies, some vouchers from my favourite book store and a pressed powder compact from Majolica Majorca.

I had another mini post-birthday party at my house with 3 good friends; I cooked up 60 takoyaki balls in the sweltering heat and we drank green tea while snacking on chilled macaroons. Twas good, really good.

I’m sure a lot of you have been wondering where on earth have I disappeared to? I’m really tired of saying this but my day job has been stealing me away, not only from blogging but a lot of other things as well. I had to work over the weekend just last week, spending 10 hours at the airport doing up a presentation for the following monday!

I don’t have time for myself anymore and lately I haven’t been able to take good care of myself even; my skin has gotten so bad from work-related stress and you won’t believe how much I’ve been bingeing on food! Sucks, I know but things are kinda slowing down over at the workplace (which is why I’m blogging now) so let’s hope I can get everything in control again.

    Thank you Renee!
    I did have a fun time and don’t worry about turning 21 (hey it’s not 30 yet lol) because I’m sure you’ll have a lovely birthday.
