Of Birthdays

Another day to thank Allah for the blessings that He's given. And, it's my birthday!

Nadia T wished me happy 5th anniversary of my 21st birthday and I told her it was the most accurate wish so far! Made me smile. And Papa, quoted one of my most favorite quotes (I found it last few years) "Happiness is wanting what you have". I even edited this quote to another favorite - a picture of an old couple, sitting on a bench watching people go by on a street and they had their arms around each other. How lucky to be growing old together and still be in love!

It's been a great day so far, well wishes from friends and family... I didn't think so many people remembered it! Even at work, Thana has been motioning it since last week.. It's an ordinary day - I'm at work, it's lunch hour - but it's fasting month. The month to accumulate extra points! (and to bear in mind - easy come, easy go) And in 3 weeks' time - it'll be Raya again. Without Faheem this time around. Our first family member absent. Hope he'll be doing fine come the day.

Oh, I was so bored the other day - I googled myself. And guess what I found:

http://www.fazrestaurants.com/

Beautiful restaurants located in San Francisco by Faz Poursohi. Cool kan? They even have specialty promegranate product line and candied pomelos! Love, love, love! One day I'm gonna have to go there.

Ooh, and I have to post one reminder - the thing that I've always longed to do on my birthday, is to plant a tree. Thought it was gonna be last year (25 on 25) but didn't happen. Wonder if it'll be executed this year? I think I wanna it to be a pokok kenanga, or bunga tanjung. Or perhaps a fruit tree? Something exotic like... uhmm.. got it - the fruit my mom always told about when I was schooling in Muar. Some sort of buttery tasting fruit but with horrendous fur that makes you itch like crazy. Hmm.. I'll ask her later today. Oh, we're going for dinner and tell about it more soon! Laters! (gotta search for a tree now)
