I’m 22 this year.
All that hype last year about finally turning 21, about legally able to enter a casino, about how I could handle things with more freedom has all washed down the drain. This year’s theme is however, about getting old.
This feeling would still be there if it wasn’t for my sweet girlfriend, who spent 3 days with me, taking me on one of the best birthday journeys I could remember.
It all starts on the 16th, where she travels up to KL from Seremban, all dressed in the white flowy dress i got her for her birthday. We went down to Bukit Bintang and into a new Japanese barbecue buffet called Yaki Yaki. They serve loads of stuff ranging from beef to shishamo! I adore shishamo! With their bellies bursting full of little eggs! It’s the only way to feel a massacre!! I simply crave for beef tenderloin as well! Lightly grilled to get a very tender fillet of beef! And I’ve got the world’s most awesome cook to help me get everything just right for my taste buds to fire in all cylinders!
After stuffing ourselves silly, I went into a pharmacy and bought hair dye! Unfortunately though, it wasn’t light enough~ So the next hair dye, which is in another 3 months or so, shall be a shade in a very very very very light brown.
That night, when I was about to put my hand over my pillow on my bed, girlfriend suddenly said “you’re crushing your present!”. I was immediately dumbfounded when i found a box under the pillows with the words Bausch K. Stainless Steel Jewellery.
Now I’m quite a typical no frills XY male, but I’ve got to say, i really love the necklace and pendent she chose for me! It’s beautiful. A stainless steel chain, not too thick, so I won’t look like a fail gangster, and not too thin, so I won’t look to queer. It has a pendent, with checkers of blurred and clear steel in a shape of what i think is a whiskey bottle! It is a single most wonderful gift filled with words such as wonderful and awesome!
The next day was quite uneventful where i dyed my hair in the day. But as nightfall came, me and girlfriend went to Soho KL. There, without having anything in our stomachs, we went for a diabetic inducing, sugar rush assuring, Häagen-Dazs ice cream buffet dinner! 9 Scoops of ice cream we devoured with flavors ranging from Belgian Chocolate to Dulce de Leche. It was the sweetest moment of my life, literally, and i felt sick afterwords and I’ve vowed not to try something like that again!
Later that night, while I was in the toilet taking a dump, my housemates and my girlfriend went through the trouble of trying to surprise me. And yes, I had to admit it, I was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the 3 of them, in my bedroom, darkened with only the candle lights on the cake for illumination. We had cake, chit chat, and for my part, a very painful indigesting stomach!
That pretty much sums up my birthday this year! I really want to thank my girlfriend, for spending all that time with me! My housemates who even though had long days at work, still gave me a small surprise at the end of the day, and my family who took me out for Bubba Gump just now!
Yay I’m 22!!
