Turning Thirty

I joined the 3-0 bandwagon over the weekend. And what a birthday it was. My family didn’t forget me (well, they almost did last year), my girlfriends from Malaysia sent me wonderful gifts, dear friends to celebrate my birthday with me this year, great pressies … oh, what a day it was.

Coffret D’or blush from Mum

Jewellery books from MC and Hester. It was completely unexpected as they were both from Book Depository. When I returned to Melbourne, I was expecting a book from Book Depository, but not two, and certainly not three. Plus you know how Book Depository works; they send out each book separately. When my girls told me the books were from them, I was over the moon.

Pressie from LeGeeque and SY. My first Chanel lipstick! There’s a funny story to that lippie. You see, I’ve been wanting to get that Coco Rouge in Organdi Rose for months, but I’ve got way too many lip products to justify another purchase, and an expensive one too. LeGeeque told me to finish one lip product first before buying a new one, and we could do that together. But when she asked me what I wanted for my birthday, *ahem ahem*, no surprises that I hinted on the Chanel lipstick. Technically, I wasn’t cheating. I didn’t personally get the Coco Rouge (which I adore, by the way), which ALSO means that when my Stila lipgloss is finally finished, I’m still entitled to another lip product!

Dinner at Nobu, celebrated with my dearest mates in Australia

The best present of all was from dear hubby for that three weeks in Tassie, who showed me a lovely time bringing me here and there for good sights and great food. On top of that, guess what else he got me?

Ahh … turning thirty wasn’t so bad after all
