My birthday was a special one this year. It was my first birthday as a wife, so there was a lot of expectations from my husband, muahahaha (kidding). I turned 27 years old with my family in Jakarta. My aunt’s wedding was held there so we took advantage of the labour day weekend to take some time off. I swear all we did was eat, sleep, repeat. All in good times.

Joe and our friends surprised me a week after my birthday. I can always kind of guess when a surprise is going to take place but this time I was swept off my feet. We left early from work to catch a movie, then he said he was craving for dim sum so we headed to Dolly’s. Our friends were already waiting for us and I was beyond happy when I saw everyone.

This birthday dinner was a really special gathering because this was where one of my best friends announced that she is getting married.

I also went to Iceland for my birthday

Haha. Got you. Well, I did go to Iceland. Sort of. In a picture. Farah brought me there and wrote the sweetest birthday wish which made me miss her even more.

My sister sent me flowers. I think my dad is giving her too much monthly allowance.

I feel very blessed for everything that I received from everyone as I turned a year older. I don’t know what I have done to deserve so much love from my family and friends. I can only pray and hope that they know that I love them too and would do anything to make them happy.
