Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Another year had gone and I turned 32 years old today!!! What a huge number but i still feel the same! I've been counting my blessings, and i thank God for everything He had given me in my life.
I truly feel blessed. Though half of my life has gone by without Papa around, with such a wonderfully sweet, loving and caring husband in Nizam and Umair in my life, I am really really gratefull..!!! Thank You So Very Much Dear Allah!!!
We didn't do anything much today though. Just spent a quiet day at home...(we don't have a car yet, anyway!) We slept most of the day, snuggling in our blankets and hibernate!
In the evening, Agnes and Norbert came around to give me my strawberry ice-cream birthday cake. Nizam made tea and we had the ice cream together.Thank You guys...,it was really really sweet of you to pop in!

As for my birthday present, next to another brand new COACH of which I'm getting next weekend InsyaAllah (nak pegi Nagashima sekarang takder kete), Nizam got us an Estima like I requested and ever wanted! We sold our WISH as I feel that it's a bit crampy in there. Especially when we always go on a long journey to balik kampung, I thought that it would be nicer and better to have more leg room and to have my pinggang friendly seat in the car...as I do sometimes get severe back ache, a higher seat is a great help to alleviate that!
It was really sudden when we actually found what we both wanted for our Estima...that we sold our WISH right away!
Nizam had always wanted a pearl white car with AERAS skirting, and I wanted 7 seater crew seats and beige colour interior with accesorries off course! Finding the perfect car that meets with both of our certain criteria was quite a daunting task. We both wanted it to be a high grade (G grade) 2004 Estima so that we'd be eligible for the 70% tax discount back home in Malaysia. (Lawa nak jugak, poket pun nak tebal jugak...so we have to make do with this one! hihihi!) Nizam described it like as though 'nak gi meminang Puteri Gunung Ledang!' Hihihi! Thank goodness though, that we bumped into it in the end. Before that, it was always a one side kinda thing...interior cantik, luar tak lawa, and vice versa, making it so very difficult for us to decide! Anyhow, with God's Graces, (Honestly!!!), we came across this really really really nice car in the internet...of which initially I thought that we won't be able to get it as it is soooooo pretty like what we BOTH wanted and the price is exactly within our budget! Like, it was a too good to be true kinda thing, you know? Anyway, after some negotiation, through our friend Hamidi, Alhamdullillah, the car is now ours! We are waiting for it to arrive from Osaka on Tuesday, and we should be able to drive it, God Willing, latest by Friday, after all the paper work and plate number has been done! We are just too excited to see our new car! I am just elated! Somehow, today, I just feel like so brand new!!! It's one of those magical things that Birthdays do to us i guess...huh?!
