I guess there must be something special about turning a quarter of a century old.

Heh, I’ve always been ambiguous about how I’d like to celebrate my birthdays. Sometimes I’d be sociable and want to hold parties and just socialise with people. Other times I’d be just happy to sit down and let the day pass by uneventfully.

My first birthday ever celebrated at a workplace. Brought a nice marbled chocolate cheesecake to work (made by Vyanne, courtesy of her). Had nice wishes and was given two bags full of coffee, as well as a gift voucher for the local camera shop. Heh, I don’t think it’s very hard to find gifts for a guy like me. I keep talking about expensive gadgets that’s way out of most budgets, but I do enjoy the little things in life. I might seem little talkative about what I normally do but my hobbies are stamped all over my forehead. My camera has always been with me, my friends know I drink coffee like water.

Heh, tried to insist on studying tonight but it was such a bad idea that I had to dismiss it immediately. Work mates disapproved of the idea and sort of influenced me out of it. so by the end of the work day, I had decided I’d go out and have a bit of fun.

Not that it was very hard to accomplish. I was getting clear signals and signs that Vyanne was planning a party for me. Heh, will not divulge what clues were given away. I just tried to be cheeky while going to her place saying that it was raining and that I was stuck somewhere along the way. My friends later told me they went out to the balcony and not a single drop of rain was falling. I can imagine the incredulous look on their faces.

Arrived to many friendly faces as well as a feast prepared. Food was Mexican themed and really nice. Got a slab of Little Creatures beer, a soccer ball and a nice cap. Heh, party was a little muted as there weren’t many party animals there. Would imagine getting drunk and messing up someone’s carpet if it were a different crowd. Had some fun and games. Really nice.

Heh, coming back to the beginning of the post, sometimes I just feel undeserving of such attention. It’s your birthday, it’s your day, enjoy it! I’m just thankful and grateful for having wonderful friends and family. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you which feels inadequate at times. Thanks.
