It's my birthday lah...

29th June 2006 .

I was born on the same date, exactly 25 years ago.

And today, I count my blessings.

My marriage to my hubby, the home we've built together, the partnership we have, the everlasting love, the pain and laughter that we share.

My family. Mak who has always been an integral part of my being. My sister and her kids, who brings me joy without having to try, brings me a smile when I'm in need of cheering. My little bro, who is a man now. My pride, my hope and guardian of the family.

And today also, I remember Dad. My first birthday without him. It seems only right that this birthday was celebrated without the ususal cake and presents.

I spent the day with husband. He brought me out to Sentosa and Night Safari. We became tourists for a day.

The next day, we visited dad's grave and offered him prayers. Went to mom's place after that and while I stayed home to look after the kids, it was mom's turn to visit dad.

Yesterday, I did my ironing. Mom also came over since there was o one home. I made Nasi Goreng. Had the funniest craving for chilli crab and made hubby go out to seach for one. Today, I did the rest of the housework. Swept, mopped, changed the sheets and did the laundry. Its finally all done. Leaving me some time to blog, to surf before retiring for the day.

Maybe I should stop now. All this thinking and reflecting is making me a very boring person. And to you all, enjoy the last few hours of the weekend, good night!
