HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUTTERCUPTJIN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TJIN!!!

Since BubbleKris is temporarily MIA, I shall do the honour of the public announcement. Girl, you’re officially like 28 YEARS young like the rest of us!!! Anyway I shall write for both me and BubbleKris because I am sure she will say the same to you. :-)

Woman, good times, bad times, happy times, sad times, funny times….we’ve been in each other’s lives for soooooooo long. The wrong haircuts, weird outfits, wrong boyfriends, weird boyfriends, right boyfriends….the parties, the gossip sessions, the sister get togethers, the skipping classes, the cooking sessions…we’ve been through quite a bit haven’t we?

I don’t know how I would have pull through all these years without you and BubbleKris; the both of you have been such a steady, constant pillar of strength for me and all I can say is I must have really done something soooo right in my past life to deserve the BOTH of you in my life.

Thank you for being the annual photographer for all my birthday parties. Thank you for being there through my puking sessions on my birthday EVERY year. Thank you (not) for taking photos of me peeing in the toilet. Thank you for coming up with the Spaghetti ala TjinMich recipe with me. Thank you for being the best co-chef for the world’s best nasi goreng sambal belacan letup with me. Thank you for being there when I was sobbing my eyes out. Thank you for being supportive when I’m happy and when I needed it. Thank you for laughing with me all these years and for being there with me to find the humour in life. Thank you for just being you and for being my sister / my “lookalike”.

I’m not going to write much, I could go on and on about how I feel about the both of you and our friendship / sisterhood but I think you already know. So here’s a series of 0.0005% of the photos we have taken over the years.

Anyway Happy Birthday again woman, you truly deserve all the happiness in the world.

Due to the drama the last week, I have had no mood whatsoever to even think about my birthday this year. If news were bad there would simply be no celebration at all. But lucky me, things turned out ok....at abt 11am or so I had the good news.

I couldn't control my emotions and burst out crying. Happy tears of course. I know this sounds a tad bit dramatic but I felt like I was given a second chance. I felt like that was a warning to me that something in my life needed to change and most importantly it was like a wake up call for me to value what I always took for granted, even if I subconsciously took it for granted. Shouldn't be dwelling on bad news, what's most important is things are ok and I intend to keep it that way.

Anyway, ended up in LaBodega the usual watering hole for a couple of pre dinner drinks and was supposed to go for a "Brother's dinner", just me and the 2 uncles....but ended up drinking crazy amount of different shots and cocktails with quite a few of them from work and by 10pm we gave up and had tapas and paella there instead. I was massively tipsy but definitely not anywhere close to the drunken states I was in the last errmm....5-8 years??? So, I see that as a sign of improvement (or maturity) hehe...

I also wanna thank all my friends and family for sending me the Facebook msgs, emails and SMSs.....I love you all!! I really do!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! I'm still feeling all warm and fuzzy from yesterday!!

My birthday cake!!

This was on LaBodega's board (they change it everyday)....I sent it to someone....I hope the message is understood

Okay, BubbleKris... I just read your blog (hehe girl, I've decided to use the names you use for us on your blog....but betcha never heard one for you, huh??)...and your post made me cry!! Anyway I just want to say I love you too girl!! I'm still sniffling!!! Can't wait for ButtercupTjin to get her ass back so we can finally have a get-together! Xx
