♥ Till the Stars don't Shine ★: February 2024

Leap

Gifts from Korea and JB.

February’s been emotional.

Grateful for the meets-up and gifts.

Today’s a BLUR

Probably not the best picture to describe the day.

It’s been such a blur.

Went for bf as usual when I received the news and quickly decided that I had to see the girlfriend right away. 🥹

Just reached home and wanted to crack my brain on what to cook when suddenly wanted to meet the sis for lunch. So that’s our impromptu lunch. Of course the nephew’s overjoyed when he saw the Obek at the school gate.

Appt at 4-5 was settled before 4pm! Alhamdulillah.

While I was cooking dinner. Can’t wait for the weekend already can?

Week 9

Alhamdulillah. The long week’s over but another long week awaits. Cos it’s assessments week.

So happy that the BFF got me Madinah magnet cos I didn’t get any. ❤️

And also that personalised keychain.

Grateful.

Went for a bday party yesterday. Pretty sure he had fun cos he received these many goodies.

And bday boy requested him to blow balloons for him.

Last Fri, the husband came home with prizes!

Cos his group came in 1st.

He got this voucher as well as a Decathlon gym bag.

Beyond tired

It’s gonna be a long day tomorrow with both husb and son coming home later than usual. 😔

And then before the new week starts, just realised I’ve been going out almost everyday since CNY.

Lucky

So blessed to still have my long time sahabats with me.

Met up with the poly best friend today!

For birthday lunch treat. 😁

She passed me this gift.

That little card means so much to me. 🥹

It’s been 24 great years of friendship.

Alhamdulillah.

And this not so little Ms Cupid.

Has been around for almost 17 years.

So blessed to have friends who’ve been there for you through thick and thin.

Besides this cute top in a cute box, she gave me a birthday bf treat! And we went on a pastry haul right after.

Precious breakfast dates.

Really appreciate the time they sacrificed for me despite their life’s commitments. ❤️

Tired but thankful

It’s been such an eventful long weekend.

Alhamdulillah. But grateful and thankful.

Had birthday bf with the ever generous jiran.

Supposed to meet at the lobby itupun da kecoh ye.

Cos she went down the stairs as there’s a man sleeping on the lift floor. Dahtu she screamed cos she saw cicak otw down. Haha. And we had to walk in the rain early in the morning.

Look at what she got me! 🩷

Luckily the husb didn’t buy for me, that Lotso bouquet.

Being thankful and grateful

Such a long day today but managed to finally slot in my Fendi box. Really really really no space to add anything new, right? Heh

Started cooking at 8am and I think I completed only by 10am. Green curry chicken, chap chye and sambal udang.

Plus a bit of fried chicken and yu tiao. Alhamdulillah

Husb bought this Swensens cake and also Yu Sheng.

Abis under 10 mins kot. So fast ye.

Sis ordered this Rocher Royale Paris Brest boms.

Sedap ye. Packed so pretty too.

Haha sis was telling me she had to pay extra for the birthday tag.

A bit of sunset at Changi.

Ended the day with satay. ❤️

The annual catch-up

Lovely surprise from the neighbour and ex islander. Heh.

Was about to nap when she sent these over.

Alhamdulillah. Another generous person I’m blessed with. Shared with me rezeki tak putus-putus. 🥹

Put on my new shoes and bag to meet another ex. Heh.

My ex bus mate, brisk walking partner.

Didn’t expect to have this long-lasting friendship.

Blessed.

This one always gets me something when she travels.

Even gave the boy ang pow. 🥹

Birthday haul

So thankful for this gift! Guess she knows I love flowers hence the wrapper. Effort tau. 🥹

And very thoughtful gifts cos that crochet is handmade and the tudung is instant but using magnets. ❤️

Bought this using the money from Mom and Dad.

It’s glittery but you can’t really see it from the picture. And it’s kinda off pink shade. Loves the ribbon lace.

Happy that I could contribute to a good cause as well.

Restocked my stash and redeemed my bday gift as well.

As usual, only bought 3 items but I received 10 thing altogether. That puffy make up bag, samples and redeemed my points also.

St. Regis

So that’s the end of my bday wkend.

Feeling blessed, Alhamdulillah.

And glad I could see my family and collect ole2 sekali.

Here’s the beautiful view from our room on the 12th floor.

Funny cos you gotta open a door to go to our door but there’s only 2 rooms behind that corner door.

And we got neighbour as we heard voices late at night and we saw the DND sign on this morning.

It’s one of the most memorable birthday staycay because the front office guy called my name out firmly just to wish me birthday. Then the butler came with a bear for the son and rose for me. 🥹 When we reached our room we saw cake pops, fruits and a birthday cake. Got sent Iced Teas and Iced chocolate too. Apa ni? And just before we took off, a pakcik concierge who was bz with his luggages suddenly shoved 2 boxes of water bottle into my Fendi paperbag. Patted the son on his back and said ‘can bring to school’. Eh why? Masha Allah. I didn’t even get to see his face proper but thanked him. May Allah grant him good health so that he could continue working. I believe he enjoys working there. There must be something about the top that most ground staff seem to be so kind and giving. From front office to concierge and even the auntie at the pool greeted me morning. I cannot la. 🥹 It’s so hard to find really amazing service nowadays but glad that

St. Regis still has it. ❤️
