32 years of Grandeur

I happen to think that everyday is a celebration of life.

So when it comes to having a birthday party each year, I astound even myself and how small and simple I prefer that celebration to be. I suppose as you get older, you learn to appreciate what you have, even in the smallest way, as life can teach us, that anything can be lost on any day.

Anyways, as a token of appreciation for all the good things in life, I hereby present to you some of my favorite and most celebrated things(disclaimer:next birthday, the list may change):

1.    RT Pastry House

This cake house has been in existence for a couple of years now, having branches mushrooming across the klang valley. Their cakes are light, flavorful and very reasonably priced. So I was pretty happy when I got tricked(quite subtlely by the Y) into going to the E-Club(a.k.a pantry) at the office and finding the Pekster and Deviljoe hidden behind the partition with a Black Sesame cake for me. Lovely, ladies. Lovely

2.       Crepe Cakes 

Ok so maybe I have been a little too forthcoming with the things that I like(just look at this article for an example!). And most of the geng knows how much I like cake. I have asking around about the crepe cake made famous by a bakery in Melaka and also the Food Foundry in PJ. I tried the cake once in Seri Kembangan but it wasn’t fresh and the layers just stuck together instead of having the ‘melting effect’. So the Y decided to get me 2 pieces of crepe cake from a bakery in Kajang and Mei Mei and Amanda got me 2 from another bakery. 4 slices of crepe cake, maybe too much of something is not a good thing, but the cakes were wonderful. Hey it was my birthday, give me a cake-break.

3.       Coffee Joint

Starbucks and Coffee Bean are overrated(This my personal opinion and means to offence to anyone- especially Starbucks no 1 fan, Deviljoe). I have always preferred Gloria Jeans  and Domes, but the best coffee bars are the smaller ones, like Whisk(Subang Parade and OneUtama). So it was with great pleasure that I had the company of Sir Kakapipit to enjoy the coffee at the latest coffee bar in Cyberjaya, The Daily Grind.

4.    House Parties

Mom,Pop,little spiderman-dinosaur, Hema, Chiffon and of course the Diplodocus. What more do I need to ask for to have the best time? Do wish the Japa was around though, as I get a one day free pass to annoy the crap out of my little brother on my birthday. Maybe I could get a raincheck? Hmm

5.    The Shell Geng

These are some of my most favourite people on earth. The Pekster decided to have a small dinner at Hucks Café in Bangsar. And being one who is only too happy to meet new people and try new places, I was very excited to meet Konrad from Bavaria and see Ms C-bg try to flirt with him. Though it rained cats and dogs when I got the Yoda and made everyone late, it was definitely worth it to try this place.

6. Movie and shopping time

As we did last year, the Y and I got free movie passes for our birthdays, which is only 3 days apart, and this year we got to watch The Croods and after the show, we did what we love best, and got ourselves new shoes.

Thank you to all you guys who made my getting-wiser birthday more meaningful.

Cheers and Godbless you freaks.
