I just realized I have probably not blogged about my birthday this year yet.
I guess I have been bogged down by too many things that I need to backtrack.
After all, I have lost touch with my blogs for a while and believe it or not, I still have a long list of to-dos for my blogs.
(so many unpublished posts for my blogs!)
Well, somehow I felt it was rather uneventful this year (no offense to the people who have celebrated with me)
I just didn't feel that excited as previous years; I don't know why.
I was still happy and looking forward to it so much but yet at the same time, when the day came, I was just like, "Happy Birthday to myself"
Perhaps it's work, lifestyle, or stress or maybe the fact that as I grow older, I start to lose interest in celebrating my own birthday?
(I hope that last bit is not true because I still love my birthday very much; I know, I am self-centered/focused and I love myself)
My Dear, as usual, is always the busiest person around when it comes to my birthday. Starting from my birthday eve; which coincidentally was a Saturday this year, I had the treat to a seafood buffet at the newly opened Eastin Hotel in Penang (I will share the post on the food fiesta in my food blog =)
Anyway, the marvellous food spread led me to develop slight allergies 2 hours after dinner; but thank God, it was just a mild case and after antihistamines, I got it off =)
The next morning; the morning of my birthday, as usual, I always like to capture the early morning sun.
It is after all, a brand new day!! (A little tagline which I have adopted from Chicken Little; somehow I just love the sound of this optimistic line)
I was taken for a ride; and guess what, I was really lucky...really, it must have been my lucky day to have chanced upon a row of SPORTS cars!!!
I thought it was just my imagination or probably there was a road show or something as these cars were just parked right outside the 5-star hotel but no, they were really there and they belong to the guests of the hotel.
My favorite sports car was there; and not just one, it was a total of 4-5 of them! Each with their different design and style and even convertible version!
I saw a few other types of sports cars which are so rare not just in my country but in other countries as well.
Well, being the blogger/writer/photographer enthusiast as me (call it whatever you like), I could not resist to take photos of these beautiful babies and with them!
It felt like a dream come true; and the best part was, this was definitely not planned!
These babies are really beautiful!
My dream car =)
The morning encounter with these cars really lighted up my day; and the folks were really friendly people too; allowing people to admire and to snap photos of their cars.
Well, as the car jockey (whom we had a quick banter with) said, these are definitely for parading and not for parking indoors =)
I felt like Luck was definitely in place and that my Birthday luck was shining alright!
I saw these cars like 2-3 times on the island that day as they drove in a crowd.
Alrighty, what's birthday without a cake, even when yours truly is seriously not a fan of sweet stuffs (yeah, I may be the only girl on the planet who doesn't like sweet stuffs)
I don't mind birthday cakes; especially my own birthday as I find them symbolic and reminds you that you're having a birthday, how silly, right?
Laugh all you like, but that's me at my unique self (or contradictory self)
My birthday cake *proud*

Happy Birthday to me!!~
Thanks to all my friends who have remembered my birthday and have wished me through text messages, emails, Facebook messages, phone calls, cards, etc.
A BIG hug for you and I am truly touched for your sweet thoughts of me on my favorite day =)
Special thanks to my beloved friends/sisters in Penang who have thrown me a surprise birthday party and Amy even specially baked me a cake and took care of my eating habits and went easy on the ingredients! I'm sure she had a hard time baking a cake like this! Many many hugs Amy, you're the best!!!~
Cheers for many more great times and may what I wished for come true =D
