It's officially the twenty-seventh year of existence on this earth for me. That essentially means in accordance to average life expentancy, under fifty years to go (that's an optimistic outlook, I think)
I'm not intending on getting a cake, but strangely enough my parents have plans to buy a cake and then enjoy it themselves on my behalf (they've done it last year, and seemed to have enjoyed it, hence a repeat of this, hehe) But the sincerity of their intentions is what counts, and I'm really really blessed to have been brought up by my parents who have always been supportive.
As I'm still stuck in Shepparton until the end of the week, I've planned to meet up with some of my friends over the weekend for abit of a feast. (Emperor crab is on the menu; ie. a monstrous 4-5 kg crab, served in several styles of cooking; haven't personally had it before, so gonna give it a go)
Alot has happened for me over the past year; I have been very fortunate to have Tine in my life again; she has been always been there for me, supporting my decisions and journeying with me. There is lots more happening in the upcoming year; with the wedding and the start of a life with my soulmate (for real, hehe), change of accommodation, exams (gah!), and many surprises along the way I'm sure.
I'm very grateful to both my parents and the Big Daddy upstairs who's 'got my back' all through this life journey thus far...and also for my friends and associates along the way who've directly or indirectly shaped my life experience and my outlook on life.
