I celebrated my 19th birthday on 21/3.
I wasn't expecting much because it's 19th not 18th or 21st. HAHA! The only thing i was excited about and looking forward to was my birthday dinner because I finally get to have a big feast with my clique! Food always makes me happy and I don't know why I am forever craving for food=.= Totally hopeless when it comes to food OMG~ how am I going to slim down *failed*
A day before my birthday, I went back home after school before heading to gym and as I was about to enter my room, I saw a parcel at the doorstep. I opened it and I was so surprised to see a cake inside! It was sent by my bestie/sister/childhood friend/ primary schoolmate whom I have known for at least 12 years, Lagine. It was a coffee sponge cake that she ordered from a UK online cake shop. It smells so good that I couldn't resist and decided to have just a small slice. OMG it was so tasty and I just completely went out of control and ate another 3 big slices in one go=.=
Damn you Lagine cheng! This evil girl was trying to get me fat and not being able to fit into my birthday outfit. I love and hate you! HAHAHA!
After eating, I started regretting and went straight to the gym trying to burn away the calories I have take in. Blame the cake! Although I know that the cake was super fattening, but since it's a gift from Lagine, even if it's going to make me gain a lot of weight, I still finished it! Thanks for this surprise sister! Really touched and i really appreciate it <3 <3 <3
I already started receiving texts wishing me happy birthday from my friends back home the night before my birthday, as Malaysia's time is 8 hours ahead of Uk's time. It's actually quite cool because i have a total of 32 hours for my birthday HAHA!
On the 21st, I skyped my parents and friends before going to school in the morning. It's my second birthday without my family around and it's kinda sad really. I went to college, finished two of my weekly tests on Chemistry and Math and kept hoping that school ends quickly so that I can have my italian dinner soon=P
Took some pictures during break time in school=))
Birthday outfit:
And lots of selfies=P
LOL, as you all know, girls love selfie so bear with me=P
After that, my friends, Jenyee, Regina, Soehartien and Suegin surprised me with a booklet filled with our happy memories during these 2 years of life in UK. They put in a lot of efforts in completing it and the words they wrote in it even made me cry=( Really really touched by how much they care about me and how much they treasure our friendship. Love u girls till the end of the world! I am so grateful to have u lots in my life <3 <3 <3
After such a long day it's finally dinner time!! I celebrated my birthday at this Italian restaurant in east croydon called Bagattis. The atmosphere was not bad and the service and food was excellent!!
We ordered a mixed starter, different kinds of pastas and pizza for sharing.

Insalata alla Cesare(Caesar salad)

|
|
Ravioli di carne con funghi(Ham ravioli)
|
|
|
Tagliatelle Nere Bagatti(black seafood pasta)
|
|
|
Risotto Paesano(chicken risotto)
|
After our main course, I suggested to order some desserts and my friends asked me to order later because everyone were too full to eat more. One of my friend claimed that she was having stomach ache and went to the washroom with another friend.
While I was chatting happily with the other two friends at the table, a birthday song was played in the restaurant and a waiter came out with a giant Millies cookie with candles on it! I was so surprised that I didn't know how to response for a few seconds because I didn't expect this to come. My friends sang birthday song for me and I made a wish( I am not going to share what it is haha!)

My birthday celebration was AWESOME because I have this bunch of AWESOME friends!Lots of love!

After finishing the cookie, we ordered some desserts. I was already full but as I have really serious sweet tooth, I ordered 3 of them HAHA! Greedy me=P
While having our desserts, we had some 'heart to heart talk' and confession time. Love our bonding sessions and I felt that our friendship got even stronger after that night!
I got back home at 12 that night and my lovely housemate, Helen hung a bag with birthday present and card in it on my door knob while I was using the washroom. Helen, Hone toe, Eric and Zeyar got a Gucci perfume for me which smells amazing! Totally in love with it and I have been constantly using it everyday recently! I feel really lucky to know these four Myanmar friends of mine who are really helpful, caring and sweet!Thanks guys!!=D

Time flies and my birthday is over. I really did enjoy it tremendously and thank God it's a memorable one! I have to thank my friends for remembering my birthday and thanks for all the gifts and cards! May our friendship last forever and ever and ever~~~~~~ =D
