What a great day! Happy, excited, grateful, these are different kind of feelings I ever experienced so far. They all mixed up together very well. By the way, I just came back from Spain yesterday and it was an amazing trip I must say. Sightseing, pictures, people, places, they were all fantabulous. I’m not going to let only words to describe my excitement. I shall share some photos from the trip whenever they’re ready. Just transferred them to my hard drive last night before went to bed. So, I haven’t really done anything yet, and also need to delete those unnecessary. Not all can be used for sure. Exhausted but absolutely satisfiying holiday.

My brother was the first to wish me on my 24 birthday last night right after we came home nearly 1 am in the morning. Then followed by mobile text messages from friends. Thought nobody remembered. Had dinner or supper or whatever you call it at half past one in the morning! Yes, I know it’s not healthy but what else can you do to please your bloody starving tummy? Gosh, I wish I never had to wake up in the next morning. I wanted to sleep for the whole day but I just can’t! I had to go to work! Slept for just four hours and had to get up again. Luckily, today is a christmas eve and we only work until one o’clock in the afternoon. As usual, I take a train at 08:36 and arrived at the station 08:53. Normally, I take earlier train which is at 08:21 but I couldn’t get enough sleep so, I had to drag my journey a bit late but as long as I don’t miss the train, it should be alright. Thought I was quite late so I ran as I got close to the offce and all of a sudden someone shouted at me. “Hey, Faris! Why are you in a hurry? It’s christmas eve today! Chill out!” I turned back, it was my colleague.

Sally (picture above) was the first person to wish me happy birthday when I got in. Also thanks so much Sally for the present! I was shocked actually as I stepped in the office because my desk was full of cards and gifts. I didn’t expect anything but, hey it’s been a while I didn’t get lots of presents like this. Thanks so much everyone… and I haven’t replied to anyone of them yet! What a cruel! And guess what? I even won the first raffle prize from office christmas party!! Woohoo!! The prize is a 15″ LCD television. I’ve got nothing to say. I’m speechless. Thankfully I’m so lucky this time.

At night, I had birthday dinner at Memsaheb restaurant in Docklands. It’s an Indian food restaurant if not mistaken. Or Bangladeshi, I’m not sure but the food was good. I wish I could show my delicious chicken briyani Because I was so hungry last night, or starving to be exact, I completely ignore the thought of taking pictures of the meals. I think we were the first customer to get in the restaurant. It opens at 6.00 pm and we were already there quarter to six. Everyone hasn’t eaten anything since afternoon so, no wonder why we were so excited to get in there haha.

So, that’s it. My first time celebrating birthday outside Malaysia. Turned 24 on 24th. Hopefully will be bring lots of joy and happiness to me. Happy birthday to me. Thank you God. Thank you everyone for everything.

P.S : Do come back for Spain entries! Coming up soon!

Love,

Faris
