Just like that, I found myself celebrating my 27th birthday today -- some say, the last birthday as a single :)
Over the weekend, Irwin told me that he had cracked his head for TWO days thinking of what to get me as a gift... but finally gave up and asked me what I wanted instead. Apparently, its not easy to buy something for a girl who's already got everything, he said. Ah... excuses? :P
So I told him I wanted a card (with a letter attached -- like a love letter lah) and a couch for our new apartment :D Later on, I saw a laptop bag and I fell in love with it for many reasons -- one of them being that it doesn't even resemble a laptop bag to begin with! Its got a water bottle compartment and all these ergonomic features and padding and what-have-you-not. It's lovely! I won't look like a dork lugging it all around town after work anymore ;)
I also requested to have Italian for dinner, and over dinner, as promised, Irwin produced my much anticipated birthday card... and letter! *ooo... I teared from reading it... because my King-of-Surprises just didn't give me a card. Enclosed with the letter, I found this beautiful crucifix pendant -- with a center diamond and rubies surrounding it :) Apparently, he had purchased it many years ago as an investment; and today, he finally understood why he did what he did -- he wanted to give it to someone he truly loved. *awww* See why I teared? :)
Here's to my 27th birthday... and another wonderful year ahead!
