September is a very happenning month :) Loads of interesting events were given a spot on my calendar. One of it, was my very own birthday.
It's always heart-warming to know someone secretly (or at least tried to keep it as a secret from me) arranged everything for the celebration. From picking a present to presenting the cake. When I saw the candle lights danced on the cake from afar, as Darryl held it carefully in front of him as he walked down the stairs, and the rest of the debating friends broke into birthday song, there wasn't anything warmer than how I felt inside my heart.
Darryl made me a bookmark! Like, how often do you receive bookmarks made by your own friends?! Kevin & Xu Vin picked me two books which totally blew my mind (and got me flabbergasted) : Animal Farm by George Orwell and *ahem* How Not To Be A Little Old Lady. AND the books are nicely wrapped when it reached me! How sweet and thoughtful! As usual, Kevin drew me a card on behalf of the rest, who wrote messages all over it =) Xu Vin later then gave me another present from herself: a purple nail polish together with removal and protective layer (or what you call that.. Nvm, I can ask Joy later :D)
I just finished reading Animal Farm. Honestly, if what Ervina said was true, that our brain is the sexiest organ, I would say I'd have by far the best orgasmic read ever! It's a relatively short story, but every turning of the pages simply makes you want more of it! Not only it blew my mind, but the author was simply stunningly brilliant. His sarcasm makes you adore him deeply and enjoy every ride down the storyline very much. And oh, my dad says he's read it 30 years ago during his Form 6 years as his English Literature subject requirement! Isn't that cool? It's not fair! How could they read such an enjoyable piece of writing for a subject?!
I've tried out the nail polish, too. But as expected, I need more practices to improve my skills. Joy would be my personal trainer for this :)
And Darryl's bookmark is ready to venture into the warmth of yet another new book which I'll start reading soon!
Last weekend, my parents were in KL. We celebrated my birthday, too, over a lovely meal in Nandos :)
Many, many thanks for the wishes and hugs and presents and love and pizzas and cards and cakes and pressing-my-head-while-I-picked-out-the-candle-from-the-cake! It's lovely to have known and spent time with you all =)
