Happy Birtday to Me Part 1

Another year has passed and I lost count of how old I am. I literally have to take the current year to minus my birth year to derive my age. Hoho. 

For many weeks, Daddy Lim had been asking what I would like for my birthday. It is tough. We have come to a point in life where we already bought what we need when needed and the rest are "wants". I cannot find a "want" that I wanted badly and didn't want to impulse buy on something that I would regret later. Hmmm..

Anyway, I started my birthday with the WWF folks, cycling to lower Seletar, both ways Mandai-ed.

We had a huge turnout this morning. During the bfast break, they found out that it is my birthday and I ended up having a huge group of uncles singing happy birthday song to me at the kopitiam and toasting me with teh and kopi. I must be getting very old. Lol. 

I rarely do big celebrations for my birthday.  I don't know what got into me but last week, i researched and found a reasonably priced high tea buffet at Jen Hotel. 

Thankfully I made the reservation or with the pai ka Nana, we would probably ended up cooped at home. 

Happy Birthday to Me!

The food selection was decent for the price. The food stations were in very vibrant colors. I also realised that our family doesn't eat that much. #lugi

Now, let's talk about the bday present again. While I didn't exactly tell Daddy Lim what I wanted, we have been spending $$. 1st, on this Dyson V8 cordless vacuum cleaner. 

Our LG vacuum cleaner (since Centris' days) had lost some of its suction power. With Mochi's hair and the cat litter sand flying everywhere, I needed something more powerful. 

This is an old model and cost us $467 after discount. Daddy Lim was trying very hard to persuade me to buy the new V12 model that cost almost 2x as much. Nothing comes cheap for him and he wouldn't blink to get the latest, better (definitely more expensive) model. I stood firm and am so happy with my purchase. Auntie SL asked if this is my bday present. No lah, no lah. This is family essential, but just happened that my bday is around the corner. Hoho. 

After much thought, I did figure out what I wanted - a proper handbag. While I haven't decided on which one exactly, I also needed a sling bag for business trip. So tadah!

So is this the bday present? Hmm.. part of it bah. Hohoho. I feel like I am celebrating 六十大寿. 

Happy Birthday to Me!
