Forever21: My 21st Birthday For The Nth Time!

Hello my loves! How was the weekend? Everything is peaches on my side of the world. Last week was definitely one of the best weeks ever. My 5 day leave from work was approved. I was on a 5 day weekend people! To top it off, it was my birthday weekend, my friend from high school was in town so I had a little get together with a few of my closest friends, I went to a Paris themed children's party over the weekend, got my hair colored and so much more. I will be posting about all these events within the week. Today's post will be about my birthday.

Can anybody guess my age? I just turned 28 over the weekend, but if anybody asks, just tell 'em I'm 21. hehehehe. 


 
Birthday dress: Soul Lifestyle and they also have an online shop on multiply.
The lovey got me these shoes from Aerosoles
Can you spot my mom wearing the black version of my dress? Well this black version was supposed to be mine too, but it never found a home in my closet, instead it ended up in my mom's closet. Oh well.


Two birthday cakes for me: chocolate cake and carrot cake. Nom nom nom. These cakes do not look fancy but my goodness, they are just so yummy! I swear this is going to ruin my diet. 



Presents: Grendha sandals from mom
                XoXo bag 


 


 Snack time at this small, cozy, Spanish inspired restaurant called Dulcinea.

 

Birthday dinner at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants; Grand Emperor Seafood Palace.
Still have enough space to squeeze in a glass of warm milk tea, kaya toast paired off with soft boiled egg in special soya sauce and pepper at Kopi Roti.

Cheers to another year, another year to celebrate, to love, to laugh and make the most out of life with family and friends.

Haha! I'm in a similar boat as you --this year, I'm turning 28 as well. But I told my husband that I stopped at 23. :D Lucky for you & I as we age, we have the Asian genes & probably look 18 to a lot of people!

It looks like you had a great time off!
