This is my second year celebrating my birthday here in read.cash. How time flies that most of us knows each other for more than a year now and we can all wish that this amazing platform can go on forever.
6th of December
Happy Birthday to me! Oh the good Lord blessed me with a fruitful year once again and I'm grateful for this life and the people around me that make my life worth living.
Let me share a story..
When I was young, I never experience blowing a cake. I don't have any memories of blowing cake at a young age. Birthday is just another day and if we can't afford food for our table then a birthday cake is wishful thinking. And how lucky that we have this beautifully designed cake now as I can only remember a plain sponge cake. And that was the best cake ever. It has no icing, no nothing just plain. This is the reason why I always scrape the icing on the cake. I don't know why I always do but I guess because I don't appreciate it. Maybe it's too much for me. Or maybe I am still in love with the plain sponge cake that I grow up with.
My lovely gifts
Last night after midnight my husband surprised me with a birthday cake while singing me happy birthday. I was teary-eyed. The kids were sleeping already at that time. But before that, they hand me the birthday cards and I was told to open them when it's my birthday but they were sleeping.
Look at my lovely cards with sweet messages.
My family back home already celebrated my birthday a day ahead because of our time difference. Mama and Papa made me cry with their messages and in video calls. My siblings treat me eat all you can only that they eat my favourite for me while I can only look at it lol.
In the morning, I got my birthday hugs and kisses from Tia and Jigz and I'm the happiest today. They ask if they can sing Happy Birthday that time but I told them about the cake and they can all sing to me after school so I can blow my cake (again). They sing me happy birthday and after school, we will have the cake ready as they have to get ready for school.
While they are at school my husband takes me to Belfast. The main thing is to get the Christmas presents for Mum, Tia and Jigz and for me to eat whatever I want. 😂
And so I go for Seafood Ramen and a brown sugar milk tea that I can only get in Belfast.
Look how good it is! It's bloody good!!!!
And when we go home I start cooking spaghetti for the kids. Our plan of going to the cinema has to be rescheduled for Saturday as the movie the kids want to watch is not showing yet.
And so I just cook at home and ordered fish and chips for Mum as she's not eating spaghetti.
And here's my spaghetti made with love for my kiddos with chicken bites.
As soon as they both came home from school we had the cake ready and they happily sing me happy birthday with all our different notes but still sounds amazing in Momma's ears lol.
And special thank you to my #Club1BCH family for the lovely post and greetings. You guys are awesome!
Oh, I have a lovely day. And it's not the cake or the food. It's not the gifts. It's not the tips. It's the people around me that makes my day special. It's you who read this I want to thank you for making my day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤
