Turning 3-0
Monday, April 11, 2011 |12:35 AM
2011 marks the year of many new beginnings. I kicked off the year with a change in career path. Was in auditing for a good 6 years, move on to commercial accounting for another 2 years and now-->Recruitment which is sales. So far so good just that there were hiccups here and there and I must admint that during the 1st month, the thought of "Did I make a right move" kept ringing in my mind. The next big thing for me was going for my 1st trip of the year - Bali (4 days 3 nights) which was planned long ago in July 2010 and before I could close my eyes, the bells for the big 3-0 rang before my eyes. The plan was to have a big celebration. (ie. having a pink party or even a hello kitty party) but none of these took place. Just simple celebrations with people who are in my life and tons of well wishes.
So does turning 30 makes me feel older?
Looking at my pink IC, I can't deny that its the real thing. Staring into the mirror, though I don't think I look 30, but I can't help but feel older. (It's like somehow, I am at another phase of my life). I do wish I could turn back the clock but I do know that the more important thing is to age graciously and wisely.
Key things in this decade? To be able to establish myself in my field of work and of course to marry off. :)
Lovely flowers from 2 important people in my life.
Who can miss out the Hello Kitty Balloon?
Hello Kitty seeking attention in the office.
My favourite flowers. Sunflowers are cheery but the thing is, it can't last
See the Tiara? Champange white & pink ones as well.
See the soft toy tied to it? The flowers really brighten up the stressful atmosphere in the office.
"meh meh" sheep..
Colleagues celebrated my birthday for me as well. Cake is from Royals.
Usual Tradition - Making a wish.
Removing the candles and cutting the cake
See? Even my present wrapper is Hello Kitty.
Carefully unwrapping so that I won't destroy the nice wrapper.

After the celebration in the office, I headed to meet Joel & the rest of the cg for the celebration. (in fact i already knew that the people in the cg will be present because joel accidentally send the wrong message to me :p). Joel arranged the dinner at this place which all of us haven't been before. Food is good. Price is reasonable. Ambience - Great coz it's cosy. If I didn't remember wrongly, its called Hob Nob Cafe Bar.

Cream of Shitake Mushroom Soup - recommended by joel and the lady boss. soup isn't thick but it still tastes good
Chicken cutlet spaghetti with cream sauce

After the celebration that night, I headed home for a simple cake cutting with my family. Ling bought a cake from Royals as well. My favourite flavour - chocolate.

Presents from everyone
People come and go. Friends fall in and out of the definition. But true relationships are closer to heart and there's no need to quantity. Just quality...
