lengthy post ahead. you may just look at the photos if you wish

Birthdays are just like any normal days, except that we get some special treatment sometimes from the people around us. And I won't lie, I do like the feeling of it. Who doesn't like being remembered, being showered with love:)

Before I move on to narrate my birthday experience, I just want to thank every single person who has made my day extra special... From the small things to the big things. People may not believe me but greetings do mean a lot to me.

There were a series of events that happened, I'll try not to make it so wordy

BBQ

A few weeks before my birthday, I had my first birthday cake (it was still June haha). I didn't see that surprise coming because the plan was for two other friends. And then later they said 'there is a 3rd surprise'. I still didn't get it. We sung the birthday song, and when they said 'Happy birthday to Kishia' only I knew the 3rd surprise was for me. Haha. But when I returned to Pahang, I realised that I forgot to bring home the cake, oh welll

Some of them went home later, and I had a sleepover at Mad's (my first sleepover:)). After the others went back, those of us who stayed back talked till early morning. Missing that late night talk already

Us The Duo's concert

I also got to be at my first ever concert! US THE DUO! It was really an impromptu thing, the tickets were only out selling on Thursday, and the concert was on Sunday. I quickly told my sister I wanted to go- she said let's go, it's on me your birthday gift. SCREAMS. ok and the best part is I got to see them face-to-face at a close distance during meet and greet. 

'can I hug you both'

'yeah sure' M

the person in charge extends his hand and blocks me

'sorry no more hugs allowed' person in charge

'awwww' C

'virtual hug for youu' C

M for Michael, C for Carissa

Was so close to getting a hug. Both of them are so good looking! Michael's eyes are sooo blue when he looked up I was :))))dazed. Thankful to my sister who gave me the chance to go meet them because only one person was allowed to go. Thank you Ate napaka-selfless niya, labyu

Early birthday dinner @ Gathering

Feels like high school days being with them once again. Thank you for bringing me out and spending time with me so that I'm not a lonely kid haha. My cake was a toast. We took SO MANY selfies together because there was always one of us not satisfied, vanity level = maximum. Peiyi mailed a handmade card over when she was in Taiwan:) Simple joys. Halfway during the dinner I received an email thinking it was another spam again, but it was a birthday email from a good friend

honestly felt so special already tho it wasn't my birthday yet 

Birthday

In the morning, I accompanied mum to town to do stuff. We also went to buy flowers because mum needed it for her flower arrangement in church. So there are 2 florists in my town, and that day we went to this other one, which we normally don't go too. Upon reaching the florist,

'Are you Kishia, your name is Kishia right'

'Yeah'

'Where do you stay'

'Oh, Bentong Makmur'

'House number'

'3x0'

'Ohhhh, happy birthday to you! These flowers are for you'

'Wow who gave them oh my gosh'

Happiness level = sky level

She asked me to open the card, it was from the bestiee Sha (hopes of it coming from a suitor ruined just kidding). I was indeed very flattered, because I really love flowers and I've never received any. Was constantly admiring it at all times hehe. Not long ago when I got a corsage during prom I felt so happy already despite it being one flower. And this is a bouquet I went all awww haha

Also when greeting me, Sha gave me a blog link which read happybirthdaykishia dot blogspot dot com (not exact website as I would like to keep it private, it's something dear to my heart). Initially I thought it was a prank or what, but upon opening it was a blog with heartfelt words from few of my girls. Thankful:) And thank you for the video too

Had a simple dinner with family and we had cake. It's nice to have so many candles on the cake, the whole cake lit up:) And during the weekend, my family and I had dinner together since Ate was gone during my birthday. I asked for my craving too-Snowflake hehe.

I would like to end this by thanking everyone once again. It is impossible for me to list down everyone's name here, but you are not forgotten. Thank you for the email, the phone calls people near and far, texts, whatsapp/viber/fb messages, snaps, card, time, effort, video, blog, words, insta post, basically everything. Thank you for making me feel loved I appreciate you all. God bless your kind souls xx
