*****************

There's one time I told Mama that we need to celebrate my 25th birthday. I don't know why but it's quite a big number for me as I have planned to be married at this age actually! Haha! But this was happen long before Ramadhan and Hari Raya and I am totally joking about it.

When Raya's approaching then only we decided to organize on our raya open house. Discussion after discussion, the best date to do is either on 8th or 9th of August. Mama most preferred was on 8th. I have no intention at all to celebrate my birthday as well as I am against that 8th. Working saturdayyy! Haha. So, when Mama asked me about buying any cake, I disagree as this will be our raya open house and not meant to celebrate my birthday. Maybe I feel too old to still celebrating it? Haha. 

Wishes after wishes by the closest ones, and still busy for the open house. Later that day my colleagues came and surprises me with a birthday cake! How in the world, I don't know. And my sisters knew about it anyway! Haha. So, there goes a 25y.o girl (not yet a woman. Haha!) blew her candle in front of everyone else, been celebrated with the closest ones to her heart, she had a teary eyes along the way. I hope they are not seeing it! 

I am surprised, I am so overwhelmed with all these! They really made my 25th birthday, a memorable one! 

Thank you everyone! I couldn't thank enough for all the warmth wishes, the thoughts, the presents, everything you've done for my 25th birthday. 

I am still stuck at 080815 and not yet moving on from that day. Haha! 

Get the number?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

A: How old are you?

B: (grinned) 25. Still young and wild and free. Hehe. 

A: Oh, young at number but you doesn't look like one. Looks older than your actual age. (trying to provoke and smash me to the ground)

B: (smile) Well, appearance doesn't matter if you asked me. As long a I still have (inshaaAllah) plenty much time to achieve my goals and given the chance to do things I always wanted to do. Why should I bother if I looked like 30 or 40?

A: (long silent and not replying any)

You don't talk about people appearance where you don't know them so well. They don't ask God to make them looks matured than their actual age. In fact, for me it's an advantage for myself that I don't look stunning or pretty and older in front of others (especially male) as I feel so much safer. They don't stare at me and they don't make me feel insecure.

I have so many things in mind. I have my own life's goals that I currently chase one after another. I don't think much about my appearance - what to wear and whatnot. As long as it is comfortable, follow the syariah and cover my aurah - it's more than enough. 

Surrounded by mostly people above my age (skip my standard 4 back when in 2000), I realized that I've one step further to my maturity. So, bear it in mind. My face and my attitude will picture me as someone older. But my age is not. Don't be jealous that your someone 'older' is having her real good time being 'young'. :)

P/s: be nice to people. Can't you?
