blackout

of Blackouts and Birthday Wishes

My long post of my thoughts on the Malaysian Feul hike and newfound hate for the government was all lost when a blackout happened in my residence. I've just switched to my laptop batteries but it was ironic really, as at that very moment I was typing about press blackout regarding the event of the fuel protest at KLCC.

It has been a tiring day and I wish I have to motivation (or electricity) to carry on with the bulk of work left.

Thankfully, there was my pilates class in between giving enough time for management to get the power up. I'm now tucked into a bowl of instant noodles as I dream about an ideal (yes, cliche too) birthday.

It starts with a nice facial three days before (as all vain women know it takes three days for the redness to subside fully). Of course it should be a surprise, along with the couple spa booked for two girlfriends (because it won't be nice alone) for the afternoon of the said day, as pampering is most necessary.

I would love to be woken up in the morning with a kiss to start the day by my love. That and pancakes with organic honey, strawberries and fresh milk (yes, the one directly from the *moo moo cow) and a copy of the paper from home (how he gets it, I wouldn't know but it is my *fantasy). Having no classes that day (I wish) we spend the morning in reading papers and talking about home. Morning cartoons are compulsory too.

Then he bundles me off for lunch with good friends. He makes reservations at a restaurant for all of us, and the gentleman that he is picks up the tab and makes little gift bags for all of us (this one is really far fetched but allow me!). He knows them so well because I talk about my favourite people so often.

Followed by a lazy afternoon in the spa (manicure and pedicure, hair and makeup too all done), and then he picks me up for a quick tea at a cafe with a new book he chooses that just so happen to be perfect for me. We cuddle and read.

Then a surprise of a pretty dress by some talented yet-to-be-discovered designer (don't you just love it, thinking you've *discovered someone?). Although, the piece de resistance is a single pink solitaire diamond pendant necklace that settles near my heart.

Dinner will be at a place near lush green forests on a high breezy hill or on the shores of a beach (I can't decide). He pre-orders a perfect combination my favourite food accompanied by that special bottle of wine that we've kept for a special occasion like this.

A long walk on that hill (or along the beach) under the stars. He then makes a promise that everyday will be my birthday.
