Birthday Girl

This year I wasn't back in KL during the "summer break". And so, I didn't get to cut a birthday cake with my family. Last year I was in KL alone without hubby. And it felt wierd cutting a birthday cake without him but with family around. Now that I'm married there are so many things that I love doing but isn't loved that much by hubby or that I love doing with hubby but is something I think my family wouldn't fancy. Very wierd this life of month.

Nevertheless my birthday fell on a Saturday and hooray hooray, hubby didn't need to go to work. So we spent the whole day celebrating. I started getting phone calls from my family in KL and hubby's family in the US since Friday night. It was so nice coz I got to talk to all my brothers whom I don't normally get to have long chats with. So throughout the day, hubby took me around the city while I picked up the cellphone and started having long chats with the family. So maybe it's kinda sad that to celebrate my birthday I decided that I wasn't going to cook that day. I know, sad sad... but I wanted to celebrate and be out the whole day. Not having to come home and stand in front of a hot stove cooking something that smells foreign and have that smell stick to my hair and body. No no... this was going to be a smell-free and sweat-free day.

And so hubby complied. He took me out to lunch and dinner and we spent the day shopping (some new things for me and some new toys for him). It was definitely an enjoyable weekend. We even went biking and all that exercised made me feel good, real good. Healthy even.

Now that a wedding is coming up in the family hubby and I will have to make sure we get into shape. I don't think either of us would like to hear the same statement of how much we've gained weight over and over and over again from our relatives.
