online friendship

in my opinion, online friend is just as good as a real friend.
i have quite a few number of friends which i knew over the internet.
most of them are from health & beauty forum that i joined since 2003.
i was an active forumer back then.
but not now since i don't have much time to join into the discussions.
these days, i logged into the forum at the average of once per month je.

i still keep in touch with a few of them via facebook.
i've met some of them in real world.
and some have now became my customers.

my online friends are no less important to me than my "real life" friends.
some of them are even closer to me than my "real life" friends.

yesterday, i've received a package from cocos island, australia.
i didn't shock as the sender had informed me earlier that she was sending me something for my birthday present.
but i never thought that she was sending me that big package with so many things inside.

thank you so much kak hamidah for the wonderful presents.
it's very kind of you.

anyway, kak hamidah is one of tenun kapas' customers which i knew over the internet.
haha i know i know.
nothing to do with the forum's friend which i told earlier haha.
that one was solely an introduction to this entry on online friendship haha.

thank you, sayang

i had waited 26 years for that day.

my 25th birthday celebration was a blast.

kak uteh's house

and so was the 23rd.

germany

the night before my birthday, i was excited and dreamt of my 26th birthday.
the next afternoon, i received an SMS from my bf inviting me for an iftar cum birthday celebration date.
i texted mama and mama said okay.

the first plan was to have it at palm garden hotel.
but i checked online and that hotel was not in the jakim halal list for buffet ramadhan.
so we went to cyberview lodge as that place was in the list.

the end to a perfect evening was not so perfect as there was no birthday gift for me.
i didn't ask for an expensive gift.
gifts don't have to be expensive and the best ones are normally sentimental things that would mean something.
lagipun i was expecting something because we've been together for nearly 5 years and he never missed giving me birthday gifts.

on saturday i was at my spa when he came and handed me a black box.
yeyy it was a birthday gift.
and it is awesome.

thank you, sayang.
i love you!

penang village, alamanda

had an iftar at penang village, alamanda again with BFF.
iftar was organized by aini.
but as i am the one who can be there the earliest than the rest, i was assigned to walk-in and book for a place.

sampai alamanda at about 6pm.
at first, i thought of booking a place at bayou.
sadly, bayou bahagian dalam dah penuh, and i tak nak duduk luar.
but no hal sebab semua restaurants ada buffet ramadhan.
bayou at rm39 nett, chakri express at rm45, and penang village at rm39++.
tu je yang sempat tengok.
penang village still ada kosong kat dalam, so i paid deposit and settled with that place.

nice foods, nice place, great people.
thanks to my friends for the cake and the birthday presents.
anyway my birthday was on the 25th, last week.
entry on cyberview lodge was actually for my birthday celebration.
but no cake, no gift, no whatever from him.
so i pun malas nak cakap yang itu adalah my birthday, sigh.

yeyy~ sweet bf sudah bagi hadiah birthday harini :) 040910

as usual, enjoy the pixies.
