Sandy Black sand
The sun is shining so gloriously today. I’m so happy to see the sun this morning. This is the actual definitive summer day. Not like the last couple of days. It was freezing!But i had fun. I was silently praying to God to not let me be alone on my birthday. And surprisingly i wasn’t. I went to Piha(http://www.piha.co.nz/frame.htm )on Sunday morning.The trip to Piha surprisingly went well. Really well. I enjoyed myself with the other 4 Malaysian gals including my first roomie. My aim was to have fun and enjoy the day and i succeeded. I made a couple of new friends and took heaps of photos of myself and the scenery. We walked up to the two highest points near the beach. The first one we were accompanied by a life guard- Gary. A friendly bloke who explained to us the history of Piha and it has rips and currents and is unforgiving of the foolhardy. The waves are so strong that i don’t dare take a dip in the sea. That and because it’s cold. Hehe. We had lunch with an added spice- a sprinkle of the black sandy sand. I took home some of the sand. The sand just sparkles under your feet and it’s hypnotising seeing the black, smooth, fine, twinkling black sand. Amazing! It took us 45 minutes to get to Piha by a charted bus. The bus driver-Andy, is very friendly and drives well. One thing here, the drivers are so ‘berhemah’ that when going uphill, Andy, will stop at the side of the road to make way for the cars behind him since a bus can’t go that fast up. He did that numerous times going and coming back. I am still amazed on how at the office they change the paper towels to cloth. So that you won’t use so much paper towels and consequently save more trees and ultimately save the world from total destruction. I felt like taking a photo of the cloth dispenser-roller thingy but they’ll say I’m crazy to be snapping my camera in the loo. I’m just amaze by how determine they are to not contribute to world destruction. A noble cause that needs to be supported by all of us.Especially us Malaysians!You hear me! Oooozzzaaaaaa!
That night was my 2nd late night out. The first was when i had coffee at Starbucks with a lovely couple and they walked me home at around midnight. That night when i reached home, H called to wish me and we chatted for a bit. I miss him so much. Hannah sang to me happy birthday twice. She said she made me a card. She asked me whether the kiwis celebrate Halloween. I told her that maybe. Then she said she wants to go as a Goth girl. Her exact words “ i want to be a Goth girl mummy”. I said” Goth?” She said “ yeah..black lipstick, black nail polish, black dress..everything black”. I said “ why baby?, why don’t you be a princess and i can be your queen and abah your king”. She said “ that’s ok too but if i go as a Goth girl, what would you be mummy?” I said” hmm....maybe a witch?” Then we laughed. I painfully miss her. There’s this aching pain in my heart literally every time when my thoughts linger to her. I need to hold her and hug her really close till i can feel her heartbeat and she can feel mine. Soon that day will come. I pray to GOD that it will..
On my birthday, i was suppose to have lunch at Mission Bay alone. But i had company with me. Surprisingly i had my mind set of being alone on my birthday that i felt more comfortable by myself than with company. That was why i took my time i guess. I went to the office for awhile to do some reading in the morning and i saw, Zoe, terry’s friend. She’s friendly and chirpy. She wish me happy birthday and we chatted for a bit. I left the office around 3pm and instead of straight to Mission Bay. I went shopping instead. I bought a really nice summer dress. It’s blue with small white flowers, a couple of jackets (they were on sale) and i was famish so i decided to stop by a small cafe to have a quick late lunch. I had lunch around 4pm. It was really satisfying. I had a wonderful liberating time by myself. Then i went to this soap shop called lush. Everything smells wonderful there. They sell handmade soaps and the ingredients are mostly natural. I bought something for Irene there. The girl who was helping me was pretty and friendly. We chatted for a bit when she was wrapping Irene’s present. After that i went to Mission Bay.
Mission bay...aaahhh...a good decision. It’s beautiful, peaceful and serves great fish and chips. There are only about 10 stores there and it was a great dinner. The ending was sweet as i had a yummy hot chocolate in a cold summer’s night.
That was it. My days...celebrating me. It was nice and fun. It could have been better if i’m home with my H and hannah. But you can’t have everything you want. I received a lot of wishes via phone calls,sms, facebook and emails. All very heartwarming. I thank god for a loving family and good friends.
Happy birthday to me!Chao!
