He didn’t take up my offer to forget my birthday this year and to be banished to the sofa for a week. And so, like previous years, he secretly bought my favourite black forest cake and then tried to surprise me with it. The only difference is that this one is from Emicakes rather than Angie Choice which we usually order from.
Anyway it’s good that birthday celebrations are always kept simple and at home. It’s really hard to predict how a 43-year-old will behave when you can’t quite tell if she’s feeling crappy due to PMS or because she’s being menopausal. Either way, it doesn’t quite make a difference because the best recourse is to keep a distance; safe enough not to be chewed up but close enough if she suddenly feels needy and weepy at the same time.
No wonder they say it’s no fun to celebrate birthdays as you get older. And it’s even worst when you suddenly realise that eating too much of your own birthday cake can give you more pimples. Yes, pimples do not discriminate age. Although in my case, I really wish they would.
Happy Birthday, Sesame!!
With pimples or not,you still look so 青春美丽.

Thank you everyone for your well wishes! And for those who said I look younger, thank you too. But pictures can be misleading with the makeup and flash. Plus of course I choose the flattering ones to post lah. Hee…
