....and i don't know if i am proud to say that i am none the wiser. oh well!! slowly but surely i am getting very close to going over the hill & what is it that they say about life beginning at forty?? then again, is age just a number?
so it was a quite affair. started the morning with a wish from the daughter which made my day. received sms-es & messages on facebook from friends. good to know that people out there lurve me despite me being a major biatch at some point of their life. hahaha..... grumpiest ever but still lovable. ada butul ka, j lo?
the daughter & the niece could not decide what to get me so they treated me to dinner. maybe my post on my wish list scared them. but hey!! i am a simple person with simple needs. yeah i may love the odd luxe item or treat. i may want to have dim sum at eden klia but i can be quite happy with a glass of warm delicious teh tarik & delicious tandoori chicken in a mamak eatery in town ('k advertising here - the restoran pandan indah, i think thats the name pandan something lah; in jalan yap kwan seng. fantastic tandoori, naan, mee mamak. ahhh, semua sedap ah).
cliche as it may sound, at the end of the day its the thought that counts. the niece & the daughter (although i think she just tumpang glamer) made a card. sweet!! its been ages since i received an item that had the personal touch. these days we are far too lazy & opt just to look for the perfect gift at the nearest mall (well at least we will it to be perfect & pray that its liked).
the niece wanted to know if i qualify for the 'wise mans' (or womans) club. apparently she read somewhere that when one reaches the age of fifty two, he/she qualifies as a wise man/woman. no, i haven't been so lucky to reach that level yet. i don't know if she is trying to imply that i am old. then something about senior privelege came up. god, i was left speechless with all the 'compliments' i was receiving. and being the wise old woman i am slowly becoming i remained calm & simply laughed it off. (argh!!! its a miracle)
so there...as we age gracefully or otherwise, do we really want to be reminded of it? do i want a birthday party with a cake lit with forty candles (i am taking about next year, just so you know)? thanks but i'll pass. a nice quiet dinner with my loved ones, a hug & a kiss from those who matter will make it more wonderful.
