Rumor has it that life begins at thirty. And here I am. Turning into thirty years old yesterday.

For the past days I was quite worried of getting old and not enough time to reach my dreams and do things for others. Not sure whether this feeling is also happened to somebody else or just me that was over-reacted.

Yesterday, a small birthday celebration was prepared nicely by my co-workers at the office and they had a yummy tiramisu pudding cake with six candles on it for me. Well, it’s almost impossible for them to forget my birthday because we had a detail list of birthdays hanging in our wall. But still, they deserve a big thank-you, especially for @henokhdeni who had prepared this well.

I was not hoping that I will receive lots of birthday wishes from my friends because I have turned off my birthday detail on all of my social media account due to privacy/ security issue. And I was wrong. It just needed a single sentence from @tamacrea and suddenly my Twitter and Facebook were full of birthday wishes, not to mention the @bloggerngalam mailing list. Much thanks for that, guys.

I’ve also got some birthday wishes from my dear old friends that did remember the exact date of my birthday, and those wishes were really melting my heart. It’s because I realized that I hardly have no time to maintain our friendships, we were both busy with our own lives, or maybe the truth is : I’m the one who was too busy with my own live and neglect them. I do feeling guilty about it. Well, just take a look at one of the message below and you will know why I felt so bad.

risna, even though time and distance keeps our friendship very apart … but i do still wish that you still remember an old friend named ****…  i can’t say much except that i wish you a happy birthday. do hope all the very best in your life! smooocchhhh from malang …

I really had tears running in my eyes reading that message.

Yesterday I also thought that it was such an unfortunate night as my plan to have dinner with @tamacrea was cancelled due to the raining and meetings. But @tamacrea was kindly enough to turn our dinner at home into a special meal as he bought my fave menu :  ‘Crab with black pepper sauce’. And not just that, he also gave me a beautiful set of pink and white roses and also a birthday cake.

What else can I want for a nice birthday then?

It’s such a wonderful day! Alhamdullilah.
And once again, thanks for all the birthday wishes. I do appreciate it much.
