birthdays and then some...

3 folk share a birthday today: Veena Kanda, Edward Cullen and Nicole Kidman.

happy birthday my sista Veen :) i wish you all that is pure and happy, with lots of sex thrown into the mix! amen!!!
Edward was born in 1901, is a vampire and unknown to him, my BFF Mz. LWB is smitten and then some. le sigh! how this has kept us going these last 2 weeks.
Nicole is on the other hand, human like Veen, is 41, and just one year older than muah, and as the radio DJs put it this a.m.... UNLINED! yes, her porcelain skin is remarkable.

i have had the best week ever. my client and dear friend Su bought me a birthday lunch yesterday at Centro, and MADAM here had nasi lemak. the verry 1st time since i was diagnosed to be glucose intolerant, and mannnn, was it worth every morsel (of course 1/3 the rice!)
my oldest and dearest friend Socks bought me a Moroccan dinner at One Bangsar last night, and we had the best time ever. i got the best "present" - a picture of a land iguana taken on their recent holiday to the Galapagos Islands. he was wild and happy and just about to eat a cactus. and coincidentally in the very same card, my favvorite Bon Jovi song written out in full - Welcome to Wherever You Are. and of course the best of the best thing really was the time we got to spend together, the happiness at just hanging out, the bitter sharing of life's twisted and unwanted lessons, and the realization that we are that "friend" to each other that has been constant :) you know? just like in that song.

todayyy, my office is taking me out to the KLCC for Tim Sum and i am again felling truly blessed. oh, and peeps?? it is FRIDAY!

successfully 40 :)

and truly loved.
that is how i feel.
the love, attention, and individual time
that i received from those closest to me,
sigh, irreplaceable.
not to mention the material stuff
(that is linked to birthdays).

my parents came all the way and stayed throughout.
and gave me such a beautiful gift for life
(thanks for the stunning bracelet).
i received the most exquisite presents
posted all the way from La Coruna
(thanks Mama Victoria for the stunning painting
and my familia for the fine black Spanish lace shawl).

to my aunties that gave me their memories
(auntie Jas through the many dinners,
auntie Sharon that sang to me over the phone)
and their "contributions" to my shopping,
a heartfelt thank you.

to ACK and my lovely SIL,
who hosted the cake cutting,
bought me the cake, and the excellent
BATMAN T. for my nieces and nephew that
got the hand-held bouquet.
to SIL especially that picked the
'orange' theme.. THANK YOU all.

to LWB, for your presence with M.
for the beautiful pictures and
your blog to host them...
thank you and here's to going green...
this Friday yu.

and to the 1st phone-call on my special day.
uncle Handsome and auntie Judy, all the way
from the land down under.
i love you so. and to the many many calls, emails,
text messages thereafter, mucho besos.

word.

tattoos and then some...

i got pictures of my best friend's latest tatt yesterday. a maori tribal shark, it is perfect. the placement, the detail, the way it has healed. le sigh.
i am itching to grow my dragon now. i think she is seriously talking to me. she keeps saying she needs wings, and she needs them fast. i can almost feel her uncoiling, getting ready to spring back off her hind-legs. past my shoulder blade, out into the universe.

speaking of mythical creatures and their human friends (and hence my feng-shui allies.. no, haven't been smoking the ganja mon), my parents arrive tomorrow. pure bliss. they arrive to facilitate my week of happiness and my special birth year. for which i am truly grateful :)

now, if only the great white hunter would arrive. i miss his honey colored eyes.

hey :) this is my last Monday as a 30-something...

and although this strikes me as a revolutionary stepping up to my brilliant future, the real focus for the day has been: would you really become a vampire if you were given a choice, and who is cooler? the vampire or the loup-garou?

hmm, so Larawannabe and me are having this on-going chat right now, on which creature of the night is better. interestingly enough, i have firmly shifted to the loup-garou after catching Blood and Chocolate on ASTRO just recently.

so now, we are on opposite sides of the after world. a short crisis and then i suggest we could BOTH be rulers together, bringing the age-old war between the vampire and beautiful wolf creature to an end, and therefore recreate the laws of what is acceptable and who our allies are.

also, my 1st ruling would be that all creatures of the night have to start wearing pink, and G-strings... bring it on!

in memory of the blues...

so 11 days to go, and i am 40. today is my SIL's birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRAN).
and i realize just how away i have been on iguana news. i have been extremely stuck on FaceBook and my new Fluff Friend, and only yesterday decided to read my sifu's Lizards-In-Scarves Blog.

the shock and pure hatred i felt. first at reading about the seven blue iguanas that were brutally murdered in their cages at the botanical park in the Cayman Islands in May! and then when i googled to find their pictures, and read over and over again how brutalized they really were, and that NO ONE has been found guilty as yet... i saw red. every time i closed my eyes, i could feel this hot red wave wash over me and i came that close to flying to the Cayman Islands, buying a gun, and lashing out at any potential suspects.

needless to say, i went home, had a stiff whiskey, spoke to my mother, fell asleep and woke up this morning, still numb, still in mourning and reeling at what those blues must have felt in their last moments. and then i woke IggySingh up, and she uncurled her tail, and stretched out, giving me a quick kiss, and i poured all my positive vibes into her, and then back out at the world. i also took my very smart mother's advise and said a prayer for the souls of the 7 blues, lighting some candles for them this morning.

the seal hunt is about to start. and so on we go with more human violence against defenceless creatures of God's creation that look to us as their guardians. and you wonder why i hide out on FaceBook where nothing is real.

the countdown begins :)

June. my favvvorite month. we have my birthday on the 16th and Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary on the 30th. and so the countdown begins :)
starting with... (drum roll) 12 more days to my 40th.

hindsight. stock take. am i exactly where i need to be at 40? well, at 35, looking at 40, i certainly had different plans. i was to be retired. working with animals. self sustained. living in sin or otherwise with Brad Pitt, John Abraham or my one true love.

so, it didn't work out like that, in any shape or form. but i am happy. i have leveraged off being "glucose intolerant" and dropped 6.5 (7?) KGs. my 2 favv people in the world are coming down to KL to have dinner with me on my 40th (my beautiful parents of course).

i have IggySingh back. she is now "healed" and is now putting on body mass. bliss. my heart swells on THIS one fact... that IggySingh is home!

my one true love thinks i am his hero (although he still hasn't fallen madly in love with me nor is he coming to Malaysia for my birthday to sweep me off my feet). and i actually love my job, and enjoy my colleagues at work. i actually have a life that i am proud of, and one that i like now.

living in my tattooed skin is good.. so stay tuned. amreeth is back!
