Three weeks have passed since my 22nd birthday last month! Now only blogging about it… =)

As we grow older, a lot of people say, we don’t celebrate our birthdays as much anymore. Especially guys.

It is a sad fact that indeed as you grow older, you find less and less friends who are ‘free’, or think that celebrating a birthday is important enough to take up their precious time! As opposed to more ‘important’ things like doing assignments, clubbing, shopping, watching PPStream at home etc.

But I still count myself lucky enough to have a group of friends who are willing to do just such an unimportant thing! Celebrate with me! Yay!

It was more or less supposed to be a ‘surprise party’, but unfortunately the hidden agenda was pretty much obvious when they asked for a friends’ gathering on a sudden Monday night…

And also when I asked them what we were going to do (movie, dinner, karaoke or something), one of them replied: “Aiya, later when you reach then you will know lor…!”

LOL, didn’t even bother to make up some fake events!

But I am absolutely not complaining, I can’t express how much I appreciate their time and effort. In fact, I was so happy that I could not stop smiling.

That’s just Hanif experimenting with my camera’s smile shutter function.

After the dinner, a few people had to leave, but the remainder of us went to Alamanda.

Originally, we had wanted to go for bowling… but unfortunately there was some kind of bowling competition (10PM at night!) going on and so we changed plan and went for a movie instead!

We happily bought the tickets for the movie ‘Legion’  (which would later prove to be a ridiculously bad movie) and while waiting for the movie to start an hour later, we went to the arcade to kill time.

We spent most of our tokens playing race cars, as they were the only machines that the many of us could play together. Although that was just for killing time, but we had a really great time in the arcade!

The night before, on the eve of my birthday, my dear had already celebrated with me on a very different scale: just the two of us in a quiet corner in a TGI Fridays, The Gardens.

And she also gave me a wonderful present to celebrate me having roamed the Earth for 22 long years!

… A wonderfully packaged CK Eternity Summer eau de toilette with a very delightful scent! It’s really no secret that guys do not (or utterly rarely) buy perfumes for themselves, and if they happen to have a bottle a two, the fragrances are usually given to them by girls!

I dunno why that seems to always be the case but the only reason that I can imagine is that fragrances are historically feminine and perhaps it strips certain men of their ‘manliness’ to shop for them along the aisles of some beautycare shop.

Anyway, who cares? Happy 22nd birthday to myself!!

Just hope I don’t get old too soon… =)
