There is something unfathomably decadent about having champagne 3 times in 4 days. (It must come with being a spoilt little Princess…) There is also something unfathomably amusing to know that someone isn’t really enjoying it all that much, but will have it anyway just because you are!
And that was how I rounded off my birthday yesterday.
I had an excellent birthday this year. There was a little fly in the ointment a couple of days back, but I’ve picked it out and tossed it out the window. Bygones! There’s more to look forward to and I do plan to look forward 
The day started out at midnight the night before, actually, with a ping on Gmail from Giddy Tiger wishing me a happy birthday. It was so sweet of her!
The later part of the morning began with a little shopping trip and lunch with a long time friend turned tai-tai at Dragon-i at Midvalley Megamall. Hehe… 
We lingered so long over lunch, chatting and catching up, that I wonder why the waiters did not physically throw us out of the restaurant! 3 hours is definitely too long a turn around period on any table. Its no wonder they stopped refilling our water cups towards the end. But yes, there was loads to catch up on, and loads to talk about.
Then, we took a walk through the Gardens at MidValley and pronounced it a clone of the Pavilion. Its fun walking through a mall in the afternoon of a weekday knowing that everyone is supposed to be at work. It actually makes for a more rewarding shopping experience because you don’t have crowds to contend with. Makes me contemplate being a tai-tai too!
Dinner was awesome - dare I say it wasn’t? - with a lovely touch of champagne and a signature tiramisu dessert with a candle stuck in it for good measure. Very sweet - both the dessert and the gesture.
And maybe because Parisian sidewalk cafes are associated with elegant French people sipping their coffee and I love coffee, I received a lovely unexpected gift of a Delonghi coffee maker (whimper… Its so decadent!) which I am still trying to figure out. So, I’ll post a picture once I manage to brew my first cuppa.
I then came home to loads of wonderful birthday wishes from Pink Elle, Giddy Tiger, Tine, LB, May and Rinnah. Thank you all and everyone else who left their wishes! I’ve noted that 3 out of 6 made reference to the Eiffel Tower in Paris and believe me when I say that I’m not as old, as tall, as slender, as heavy nor as aloof as that romantic icon of Paris
