It is always a beautiful time with the Christmas lights up in most malls, putting up the Christmas tree at home, wrapping up presents and trying to grab the best sales in town. Although the month of December is always a busy month, there is always something fun around the corner and never a dull moment. Plus point? It's the birthday month so there are TONS of sales specially for the birthday girl! Free cakes and free drinks from shops that I had been spending money in since the beginning of the year and vouchers to make me spend more? OH YASSSS! It's like the only reason to have my birthday during Christmas season. Now, don't get me wrong - I don't buy presents for myself unless I really want something. Buying things for people is somehow my love language in some ways. 

Now, let's get into business of this post. 

2020 birthday started way earlier than usual since this is the first year since I started working that I am able to have my birthday to myself instead of dedicating it to work. First year without deadlines and payroll closure - how about that for celebration? *cheers* 

The celebration started off on 11th December with my family members - and yes - I planned the whole thing by myself but that is the fun part! Who knew that planning your own birthday is actually fun? I get to choose how the cake looks like, what food I can eat and what drinks I should have. I even get to choose what to write on the cake! Although... that was a little white lie that I have to tell to my favorite baker. It was embarrassing to say that the cake was for me! Like duhh - I don't have that much self confidence to pronounced to the world that I was planning my own birthday! I will get better at this and who knows one day I would actually invite people to my own planned birthday? 

I had my favorite baker (Midnightbakeryusj) baked a beautiful cake! Let me drop the picture here. 

It's a white sponge cake, chocolate flavored with rainbow sprinkles on it! I would have love more sprinkles but I am one happy birthday girl that night. 

I ordered in McDonald nuggets and fries, had some kisses on the table, threw myself some birthday song and even had a small little photoshoot with the fambam. It was a good night. :) 

The fun had just begun that night - the next day was party time! Nah - I actually wanted to get a tattoo done on the birthday itself but somehow that could not happen due to tons of backlog from the tattoo artist side. I always wanted to finish my tattoo that I had way back but have not gotten the chance to do so. Besides, this tattoo artist that I am looking for is specialized in poking tatts and I have always wanted to have one tatt that is hand poked instead of machines. 

Instead of that, I spend my time with JT and JC who kinda threw a cute birthday car experience. They have unicorns, flowers petals, a gift wrapped really cute and we even get to visit a Teddy Bear Cafe! 

Look at how adorable those food and drink looks! Their service was great and their food was good too! We enjoyed ourselves and though I did not take more pictures of this place, you can visit their Instagram @theteddyrestaurant to check out their deco and food! 

We then went to a fine dining fusion place that serve Chinese mix with some western I guess? The food that we order contributed different taste to my taste buds and I would dare to say that their alcohol is good! It gives you a nice kick and that night, I think we managed to pour out our emotions and feelings. The lighting and vibes was just nice for that and somehow, that was the night that I decided to make it my goal to see a therapist so that I can grow positively in the year 2021. 

Oh oh! It was also my first time seeing a guy proposed to his babe in real life! It was cute! 

You can find out more on their Instagram @mrchewchinolatino 

Now, the next day there was more food and fun involved! 

The girls bought a Onsen package and low and behold! Malaysia has onsen laa! Although its different from how the onsen works in Japan, but still an experience that I would never forget (I hope)

Well, if you have not heard about it, it's called Urban Retreat Spa located in Mount Kiara. You can find out more on their Instagram @urbanretreatspamy They have different packages with different salt, depending if you want healing or beauty purposes. It's a 40 minute session where you get to pamper yourself by washing, scrubbing and soaking - and then you do it all over again. The tempearature that we had was 40 degree and offfff! The feeling after when we got out of the onsen and all, it felt sooo good! I had some time to ponder on the night before and I did not really enjoy how my thoughts run but I am also glad I had my phone with me. 

Right after the session, once you are ready, they served you some cold tea and swift roll cake. It felt - like your whole body has been refreshed and it is ready to get back into action. Of course after that awesome experience, we had to fill our stomach so we head over to Bombay Palace. It is a restaurant located in Kuala Lumpur and the food there was delicious! We had quite a number of food on the table and each of the dishes was sooo good! 

You can find them at their Instagram @bombaypalacekl 

One thing here - they have round table and to have dinner over a round table is the best feeling ever. You get to see everyone on the table and you get to share the different dishes in front of you. Do you feel the same way or is it just my Chinese blood speaking here? 

And - that is how I entered into my official age of 28 year old. It has been a good run running with this body of mine and given the way things has been going, I am glad we are still alive and making things happen. I am glad that I have these amazing family and friends who supported me and able to push me to be my better self. I am glad that our lives intertwined and we end up here today. It has been such fun having these ladies and some boys (part of a whole group where everyone birthday is in December so we kinda celebrate everyone's birthday together) at this stage of my life right now. I do hope that when I look back at these memories, these people would still be in it. 

Cheers to another year! 

With that, we have one more year before we hit the big 30! Hmm - what should I plan for that huh?

On the1st of January 2015, I crushed this car into something like this *point above* and I got my humble BMW *read kancil* in this month itself. The girls and I went off for our little graduation trip, from Tangkak- Langkawi- Penang- Kuala Lumpur for 6 days. It was a month I felt glad that I finally got more responsibility but it was also the month that I felt so emotional cause these awesome people are leaving and entering a new phrase in life.

 

February 2015

The was the month that I decided to ditch my Rapunzel hair and go for something drastic. People were coming up to me asking why did I chooses to did what I had done but ah well- "A lady who decided to cut hers hair is going to change her life" *ehem* A quote taken from somewhere.  Anyway, I did not change anything in my life. I just wanted to look different I guess and was getting bored of the long hair that I kept for almost 5 years. So how? What do you think? Should I get a new style or remain short or just stick to being long?

 

March 2015

Cant think of anything during the month of March. It seems that I went missing from social media and got myself into a cave or something but I do know that it was the month I returned to university and we were busy with our proposal. It was a boring month filled with work and little dates with buddies. No matter what, I guess it was a good month filled with friends to accompany me.

April 2015

 

The month of April brought some hectic as we were busy with our technobiz subject and oh boy- we learned and gained tons of experience. We saw another world that we aren't use to and it was a fun experience. We visited KLCC for MIHAS, a Halal fair where all halal items from all over the world are brought together in this fair. We were also given a chance to show our startup *which did not work out in the end*, BFF which stands for Book Fresh Food to potential investors in the industry. We had a super fun time trying out a different industry and plus point, our lecturer for this subject is an eye candy. *winkwink*

 

 May 2015

 We got ourselves busy with our little robot in the month of May. Her's name was CEES and we had fun building her up. Although we did not win anything but it's the experience that counts right? In this month, nothing fun happen but we were thrown assignments and final year project proposal. It was a tough month but ah well- that's the life of a third year student aye?

We did went on a spontaneous trip one of the day in May. We took off for roller blades and I got myself hurt in the process but that did not stop me from driving all the way in my humble BMW all the way to Desaru. It was a fun trip with sand, sea and the clouds looking down on us on that day. 

I do remembered that the month of May was a stressful month for each of us cause there were just so many things that need to be done. Thank God on the day this post is posted, the hard work can be say is paid off in a good way. 

June 2015

In the month of June, friends were leaving for their real life and the holidays were close. We started to get busy with DIGSMA preparation and BFF pitching. It was a busy month and things were so close to each other but we did well. Good job guys! 

July 2015

In the month of July, the holidays started and it also mark the date where I need to start working. Looking back on my social media, there aren't anything fun that took place but I did visit a few spots in Johor Bahru to prove that JB is not that boring as it seems, aye? The wooden block is taken at one of the Chinese culture museum. I did not get the chance to see everything but I think it has some cute stuff in it. The next picture would be Tasik Biru in Pasir Gudang, close to home. It was on a private property and it seems to be a no-entry spot but heey, rebel kids on the driveway people!

August 2015

This would be my favorite month of 2015. All the hard work paid off when we step our foot on the land of culture and good food. Indonesia- Jogjakarta *you can read more on this adventure of mine here* I got myself some real good friends who are fun travel mates. They made me laugh, cried, and angry for all the little things they had done and it was an unforgettable trip for me I would say. 

September 2015

September- the month that has a special meaning in my life. I was thankful that God stood by me each time the month of September comes knocking on my door cause there is always something for me to do in this month. Though there was nothing huge that impact my life but it was a good month I would say. The new and final semester in University started in this month and we were sort of pumped up for the month. Gatherings with juniors, a short trip to Kluang, MAGIC came and show us something new on social enterprise, and most important thing- Happy Birthday~ =)

October 2015 

October bought tears to my eye cause I saw and hear something which till today I don't know what I should do if I were put back into that life again. Not only that, I lost grandpapa in this month and it's just... tough I would say. However, there were some fun times in this month cause I went to Singapore for my first time as a fully adult and I enjoyed myself. 

November 2015

This month started to make us go crazy. Looking back at my small diary, this month is the busiest of all month cause there were just so many crazy things going on! We started looking for a place to do our internship, Talitha and I song lead for one of the event downstairs in the main hall, met up with SKTC friends (oh boy!), and how can I ever forget ICMF. It was the grandest event ever in as we conducted a zombie run. We had so much fun! The people that I met in there, the bonds that I had build, I don't think I would wanna say no to that again. Then, there's ICMF main event which brought so much troubles AND fun at the same time. I gained a good lot of experience and if you were to ask me to do that all over again, I would say Bring it On! 

December 2015

 

I would call this the emotional month cause there were days I am super productive and would kill everyone who gets in my way and there are some days where I am super lazy that anyone can just come in and kill me and get away with it. It was #eunicemonth and I had tons of fun making it happen. Thank you so much to the people who had contributed to those pictures and memories that I  might not be able to remember in the future but I would sure keep it in this heart of mine. This is the month where I got myself ink and I would gladly say that it won't be the last time for that to take place. =)

Our mini #roadtograduation night out

 

An unsuspected birthday surprise plus lotsa other surprises from family and friends.

Overall

Now, 2015 is over and done with. 2016 is here now and although 2015 has been a blessed year, I believed 2016 will continue to be a year of blessing eventhough we might face some issues from the oil and gas company, the state of the country, all is well, people.  

Cheers to a better year peeps and wish you a very happy new year 2016! Make this year count!
