my 19th birthday.it wasnt anything special. just home-cooked food and the couch; throw in a really good movie and company, that was how my 19th was spent on the 24th of april. i must dedicate my entire blog entry to the really mouth-watering tiramisu cake mum got especially upon my request;D if this was how close i could get to experiencing heaven every time i took a bite of my cake, i'll always ask for seconds.
it was so good mum didnt even protest to the use of coffee as a key ingredient in the tiramisu. mum detests the smell and taste 'the coffee bean' and the whole idea of how we can all enjoy a cuppa while she has to make two cups of coffee a day in the office for dad. other than that, she enjoys her job.
at least my 19th was a whole lot better than my 17th. i shall not dwell into the past again but my 17th was horrible, not even the birthday cake could lift my spirits up. so while i got a television for the house on my 18th birthday, just so we could watch 'ghost whisperer' at 8.30pm, we didnt do anything special this 19th, since i had school in the morning and driving in the afternoon. we couldnt go out for dinner since charmaine had a test in the evening at university. but it really doesnt matter, mum bought duck and we had chicken and fish dishes as well. she opened her last bottle of wine as well to celebrate my 19th birthday.
the presents i got for my 19th:
- a hair straighterner- from charmaine and sharon
- grandma's red packet -$20
- aunty irene's red packet - $20
- mum's red packet -$50
as elvin would say it, i could never give up the idea of shopping if i had money in my pocket;D true enough, i went shopping today with $90 to spend from the red packets i collected over my 19th birthday:D i kinda went over my budget by a few dollars haha, not really surprising. i bought a pair of jeans, a clubbing attire, a grey scarf and a high-waist belt all for just $129.75. teehee. i admit the clubbing attire was bought on impulse- it cost me $60, but you'll love the butterfly design on the silver dress attire when you do see it soon. i had to peel my eyes away from buying boots as charmaine wanted to buy with me, should they have a ' buy one get one free sale' she reckons we could split the price then. bugger.
im incredibly happy today, i actually did some reading up on introductory finance 201 and finished up on the tutorial for it as well. amazing! i guess the $129.75 was indeed well spent today.
