A birthday cake for the birthday girl :D

The day before we left for my birthday island getaway, I had my parents over for a recap of the things they had to take care of for me while I was gone. Especially taking care of Manja. No words can describe how grateful I am for them to agree to look after Manja for 4 days and to be here everyday just to keep her company while they weren't so free themselves either.

Mom brought in a cake when I opened the door for her and I was actually surprised as I didn't expect them to bring anything but themselves. I was actually so touched and it totally brightened my night, seriously!

I've never really had cakes during my birthdays. Probably once or twice. Usually when I celebrate with my friends, we go to clubs or chill out lounges, so it won't really cross anyone's mind to get a cake because it might be too troublesome. The only "cake" I had when I celebrated with my friends was on my 19th and it was a bar of hotel soap. They stuck the soap with matches from the hotel and lighted it up, sang me a song and I blew it. LOL.

With the family it was mostly for dinner at hotels or restaurants. I only recall having a cake once when my step sis brought it along to my 22nd celebration, if I wasn't mistaken.

So anyways, to actually have a cake this year.. I am quite overwhelmed. Actually, whenever I have a birthday cake, I feel really happy and special. I know, silly me! It's just a cake but to me, it actually shows that someone cares enough to go out of their way just to buy one, write a message on top of it, light it up and sing me a song so that I can make a wish and blow those candles.

Thanks Mom & Uncle Dennis :D

Kevin's 25th Birthday Bash at Sultan Lounge @ Mandarin Oriental

It seemed like it was just yesterday that I attended one of my friend's birthday celeb at Sultan Lounge (yet again) and although I've been there a couple of times for an occasion, they were nights of endless fun!

So Kev's birthday came and went. He actually was gone even before I reached and that was like at 11pm! LOL. So much for remembering your birthday party!

Anyways, here are some fun photos of the night!
and if you were wondering where I got my dress from, it was from a bazaar. LOL. Totally inspired by Bebe!

During the day, Clothes For Fun participated at Picnic Bazaar which was held in conjunction with Octoberfest at Ecoba from 5pm to 10pm. Of all the bazaars that I've participated, I was pretty impressed with the set up by Threadzoo. There were cute marmalade orange and turqoise blue table cloths for all the tables and they even hung little lanterns around the trees to make the entire place to create a picnic ambiance. Erica & Alex were the first ones to come over to catch up and by the end of the day, I was actually touched by how many friends that came all the way to Ecoba just to support us. Totally unexpected. You guys totally made our day!

Crowd started pouring in, kids having fun on the bull ride, guys getting dunked by their mates, people bought huge Beer Stein of Carlsberg and other german beers imported by Carlsberg Malaysia, there were wide spread of barbequed dishes available for everybody, and live performances by Doppleganger and Ecoba to fill the night with. People were having tonz of fun and I was quite taken by the whole partying vibe that I told myself, I shall have some fun myself too!
