My birthday 2022

My first dilemma was.... to take leave or not.  Hubby wasn't leaving the house so I'd have to go out alone.  And by the time I take hubby for acupuncture and returned to the house (takes around 2 hours in total), I'd be too lazy to drive out again.  But this birthday would mark a change in the first digit of my age.  Better to have a day at least different from normal right?  Coincidentally, hubby decided to stop his acupuncture sessions for a week after his booster shot.  Woo hoo perfect timing!

SE decided to accompany me as she didn't me to be "a lonely lump" on my birthday.  Couldn't persuade JE to come along... oh well.

So 1 Utama it was (where else could I go? Haha) with my little companion.  

Me and SE

This is cute!

It was rather nice to have just SE along.  We bought various foods.  We hadn't been out to the mall for months.  For lunch she was keen to have hotpot noodle, but she said I should pick.  When I settled on Canton-i, she asked, "Mama sure will prefer Canton-i?" and didn't complain when I said yes.  Such a good girl. :) 

Ahmms

Hmm food wasn't as good as I expected. They didn't carry the mango dessert I'd been angling for any more either.  

After lunch we went over to the coffee event happening for the weekend.  Love this photo SE took of me!  If only I'd removed the mask dangling on my ear haha.

The birthday girl

Grabbed some Chinese food for dinner... 

With the fam

I had to go get my own cake, but cake I had....

Happy birthday to me!

Half a century on earth... indulge myself a bit.  And count my blessings.  Cheers to the next half!
