Magical Birthday

Aha! Another year just passed me by last week that made me feel so blessed (^__^). There were some unexpected sms and mails, but also expected sms that never came he3x This year's records: 31 local sms, 1 international sms, 1 e-mail, 3 phone calls, 3 birthday cakes, 1 purse, 1 Gundam Seed note book, 1 bathrobe, a pair of earrings, a book, 2 plushtoys and shopping vouchers. Great, isn't it? If you wonder why I get a bathrobe, I'm wondering myself. It's actually from my friend's children... The older one picked the bathrobe& the younger one picked the color & wrapping paper ha3x They're so cute, they even drew a flower in the card :)

And the winners would be the earrings, book & plushtoys, because it's so amazing how I got to get them. The night before I went to PS with my lil' cousin. We went around the mall and I was thinking to see something at Perlini's. But by the time we got to the stall it was already closed. Before that we went to the bookstore and I was actually holding this book and said to my Sarah: "You know, I really want to know what's inside this book after that article in Newsweek. Shall I buy this or not?" There's something inside that told me NOT to buy it though I really really want to. On the way home I was still thinking about that book.

The next day I sent my messenger to get some stuff from Channel, and what a surprise! I also got a that Perlini's earrings from her & Pon! A couple of hours later Gale sent a driver to my office to deliver my b'day presents. The moment I looked at the goodie bag, I laughed out loud in the lobby! Cause I got a very big Stitch pillow & a small one of him playing ukulele!! My God! Having Stitch plushtoys were one of my biggest obsession! I could never found a nice one in Jakarta before... And when pulled the Stitch from the bag, I saw a book and it was the same book that I almost buy the night before!! Don't you think it's amazing?? (^__^) It's a magic Birthday!

As always, during school holidays some little cousins consider my bedroom as a place to pass the time by reading or watching movies... This year no exception. Not only those from my father's side, the ones from my mom's side do the same, and if not because of my mom's condition they all want to sleepover (^__^). At least one of them still decides to do so tonight. Well, at least a nine year old girl is still ok to handle.

The 3 Naruto freak siblings went for a vacation to Central Java for a few days with their parents. We just met last Sunday in church and they said they have a surprise for me. The oldest was waiting impatiently for her brothers so they can give whatever they have for me at the same time. But finally she lost her patience and gave me the Naruto figurine that they bought at Jogja! Ha3x The younger bro gave me a hologram keychain of Gaara while the youngest gave me a Neji keychain. All three gave me a kiss on the cheek as a bonus (^o^) that made me feel so loved...

While those 3 were on holiday, I went to see TRANSFORMERS with another 4 cousins and an aunt. Bianda & Nais went with me fro my house. Matt, Cilla & Tante Koes were waiting for us at PIM already. We had a good time together... That was Nais' first visit to Jakarta so she was excited to get together with all of us. I played chaperone as the oldest since my aunt was a softie who couldn't say no the the kids :) I tell you that besides the movie was great, I meant GREAT!, we ate a lot! Errr, not me actually, the kids. From Fried Rice, Pizza, Burgers, Ice Cream, Chocolate Frappucino. I just gave some money to Matt as the oldest & the only boy among the bunch, and he's the one who walked around providing everything that the girls requested he3x And of course, as there were more girls there were also never ending trips to the toilet! Toilet before movie, toilet in the middle of movie, toilet after movie, toilet before eating, toilet after eating, toilet before driving home!! Thank God Bianda was the only 1 who's still in elementary school, the older girls took quite good care of her.

And I missed Youth Service that day... I was planning to have a meal with them after movie, drive them home and return to church. But we actually got home at 09:00PM, if not because I was so tired and they ate too much that they could barely walk to the vallet service they probably would want to stay until midnight!! Here's some pictures we made with my cell phone, we got them printed and everyone kept 1 pic in their wallets (^__^)
