“Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Azurt…. Happy Birthday to me!”

I am 25 years old this year. I felt like it was just yesterday I took my SPM examination. I felt like it was just yesterday my mom told me to study hard. I felt like it was just yesterday my mom gave me money as my allowance. I felt like it was just yesterday I sat in a classroom, listening to my lecturer and can’t wait to get out of that classroom. I felt like it was just yesterday I got only RM1 in my purse to survive for the next three days living in the campus. I felt like it was just yesterday I have to get a job for my semester break. I felt like it was just yesterday my occupation is a student.

Today, I don’t have to think about my allowance, I don’t have to think about surviving with RM1, I don’t have to think about assignment, I don’t have to think about what to do when I graduate because I got what I want to be. I thank God so very much for all the gifts. I am grateful for what I have now and continue thanking God for all these.

I celebrated my birthday in my hometown and invited all my closest friends for some bbq party. I am so happy that all of them able to come over and sleep with me in my room. They are Salina, Irna, Harba Aini and Shima. And the guy friends came a little bit late, as usual, they rarely can come on the time. They’ve been our main topic of that night.

I forgot to capture pictures of us doing the bbq because I was busy chatting with all of them, since it was a once in while gathering. But thank God, I was able to capture my birthday cake! . After the cutting cake session, one of them grabs some of the chocolate cake mud and sticks it on my cheek. She was so darn brave of doing it on my face! I can’t wait long to do revenge, all of them get some of the chocolate mud. Ha ha ha. And it was a ‘wild’ party though.

I love them for staying until 12 mid night just to wish me Happy Birthday, because I did the bbq on Saturday evening (1st March). Thank you guys for all the effort and the Lamb grill was so delicious!

I went to another part of Sabah that I haven’t reach yet, and it was Kundasang. It is located 6km away from Kinabalu National Park. Kundasang is famous of their fresh vegetable market that opens 7 days a week.

You can see Mount Kinabalu clearly from Kundasang and I recommend for all SLR freak to come over to this place and experience the beauty of Mount Kinabalu and the surrounding. The temperature is more like Genting Highland, but the air a little bit different from Genting Highland, because I was inhaling a more fresh air there. I suggest you to come to Kinabalu Pine Resort and see Mount Kinabalu in one piece from there! Owh, magnificent!

On the way back down the hill from Kundasang, I found another market that sell all the locally made of bag, from vary kind of material like cotton, beads and rattan.

I was successfully bought 5 bags. One of it for me, two of it I gave to my officemate and housemate as a souvenir, and another two were sold to my housemate’s cousin (making money huh?).Overall, I made a very meaningful holiday this time in Sabah. One was because I celebrating my first ever birthday celebration at my house. Secondly was because I can make my mom not cry when I said I’m going back to KL tomorrow mom.
