28 years of my life has passed as I celebrated it with an awesome blast starting 1 week early. As my birthday falls on the 11th, I decided to buy my ticket to Manila to participate in EBC Philippines Batizado so i could experience it and also visit my capoeira family there.
The whole trip was awesome and i would say best self birthday gift I've ever gotten for myself so far.
The trip started with the awesome gang waiting for us outside the arrival hall.. at 6aM. We had awesome Afro Brazillian workshop, Capoeira workshops and Rodas... and also OMG the food!! It was soo delicous.. but i think i had a pork overload this trip which caused me to gain 2 KG.
Here you see the 2 visitors from different places, EBC Bacolod and the guest from Malaysia after the presentations and games we played at the Dojo.
Here is after a scrumptious meal (again) with my Nike Operations Teammates from Manila.
The Brasilian night party, Brasillipinas was a major blast! (As you can see Havaianas provided too many free drinks hence the red face)
We even have a photo booth to fool around with. Basically with 4 days of capoeira but 5 meals a day i gained 2 KGs.
Back in Malaysia, I celebrated my birthday mostly at the office and finishing work around 730PM and heading straight for my birthday dinner which i arranged in Mont Kiara. The team was sweet enough to get me my very own custom made cake written "Selamat Desolee" which meant Wishing you sorry! hahahaha.. Why you may ask.. It's cause i always say Desolee soo much it became my nickname. (Selamat = Bahasa Malaysia, Desolee = French)
My very own personalized cake! :)
Flowers from Nadja :) First time for everything :P
Beautiful bag from Wen Dee which i was very happy she turned up for the birthday dinner
Another present from Nadja:- 27th March - The day will start for you at Traders Hotel Spa followed by Brunch at the pool with champagne and end with shoulder massage.. I can't wait!!
My most chinese gift ever from the French group!!! The team got me a nice gold necklace written in chinese stating, "Good Health or Healthy Body" Something like that (got it translated from a friend). This is something i will keep for life :)
The team also made me a booklet of messages from all my close friends on each individual page. I cried happy tears everytime i read them.
Of course, a HUGE birthday card from the team. Ahh i love them soo much! :)
Tony was sweet enough to fold me my very own personalized rose from Hilton tissues :)
And my girls got me a session which i am also very very much looking forward to!! Much love!!
All in all, this is the first birthday after 10 years i think with NO DRAMA at LAST!! The curse is broken!
