My first gold

At the ripe old age of 34, i finally bought my first gold!. I've never bought gold jewellery before 'coz I'm not into jewellery... so, the only gold jewellery that i had was a gold necklace and bracelet that my mother gave me years ago - which i rarely wear. But, somehow this this time my friends managed to convince me that i'm enough to buy gold :-)
So, today i bought myself a gold bracelet - i considered that as a graduation gift for myself ;-) i'll be receiving my Masters' degree next month... i guess that's a good reason to buy a gift...

34


I turn 34 today... and the good thing is that i don't feel THAT old... not that i would know how 34 years old should feel like. Being at this ripe old age of 34, I feel like I'm in a good place... I didn't have a good start to the year, I was feeling sad...sometimes lost and frustrated. But lately I've been feeling great and at peace.
I had a great day today. i have a good friend who mixed up my birthday with our mutual friend and she only realised that last night. But somehow she managed to arrange for a delivery of flower & chocolate bouquet to me - really appreciate it and i was really amused by the things she did to keep it as a surprise :-)
I went out for lunch at Tupai-Tupai with 5 of my close friends from office - a fun gathering of girls. We celebrated my birthday along with another 2 friends... 3 of us blowing the candles and all 6 of us laughing our head off over the lunch.
The best of the day - my own birthday gift for myself. I got myself a new car, Toyota Vios. I got the car today, just over a week after placing the order for the car - the saleswoman went all out to get everything ready so that i could get the car on my birthday. Yayy...
I have a lot be thankful for - i have good family & friends, i own a house and a brand new car (both bought with my very own hard-earned money - with help from bank loans, of course....), i have good health, i like my job...i got everything i need. It'd be selfish for me to complain or be depressed over things i don't have when i already have a lot.
I fell truly blessed.... Alhamdulilah.... I'm grateful for all the good things in my life...
