Love is in the air ~~~

Congratulations Shima and Arziril for your beautiful nikah and wedding reception yesterday and today. A month ago, we surprised Shimbad with a bridal shower getaway with the rest of the girls and our partners. I haven't managed to blog about it because there were thousands of pictures to choose from but I think this video captures most of the fun we had that weekend.

Last week, my best buddies Shai and Shima Adrina (Shimbad) invited me out for dinner. Since they knew how caught up I am in my work, they told me that they'd drop by and we'll have dinner somewhere near my office. They weren't in the mood for Japanese so they suggested dinner at On The Table Solaris Dutamas, Chef Riz Redz's restaurant (the son of Malaysian Celebrity Chef, Chef Wan). I went there straight after work.. and was surprised to see not just Shai and Shimbad there, but also my other gurl friends and their partners Arziril, Hafiz and Izzwan were there to throw a belated birthday dinner for me! Fuzzlyn, Sarah and Shereen Nisa were there too. Oh, Shai also gave me two lovely balloons within one big balloon! It was very unique and I don't know how they did it. It was so pretty. :)

Way before my birthday, my close girl friends and husband organized a small dinner to celebrate my birthday in advance. I went out that night, thinking I was going to just have a quiet dinner with my husband. He told me he was taking me out for dinner because it has been a long while since we went out for dinner together because of our work.

When we reached Alexis, I was really surprised to see my friends and cousins waiting for me. Since it was quite early, I didn't even know what the occasion was and embarrassingly asked them what they were doing there. Then I was told that they were there to celebrate my birthday! No wonder my husband asked me to dress nicely. He chose what I wore that day. Hmmm~~

The 1st of November this year was a day I have been looking forward to for a long, long time. Not just because it was my birthday. Heh heh. It was also because the date would be 1/11/11, which just happens to be one of my favourite numbers. Now that date is something that will never return anytime soon. I don't know why, but I have always had a fixation with certain numbers and will always look out for them, such as on car plates and phone numbers and wherever else it may appear. My other favourite number is 7 by the way.
