Birth Day.

Things that have made me smile:

1) Having been booked a month in advance by the Boyfriend for a birthday dinner.

2) Finding out that the birthday dinner was actually a front for a rather elaborate secret surprise party orchestrated by A, A2, R and the Boyfriend a month in advance which apparently everyone was in on but I somehow managed to remain clueless.

3) A2 engaging me in a random conversation about cake which, at the time, I did not realise was actually a secret fact-finding mission to discover what kind of cake I'd like.

4) Singing at the top of our lungs, Part 1.

5) Campagne and chocolate cake.

6) Opening my email inbox to find 22 emails (from Facebook) from well-wishers across the globe.

7) Coming back from lunch to find a fan on my desk from the associates.

8) Chocolates from the boss.

9) Team drinks.

10) Flowers from my sister.

11) Birthday presents :D

12) Chinese dinner and more cake.

13) Having my grandparents here for my birthday.

14) Ferrero Rochers that proclaim every conceivable gift-giving occasion and a post-it flag pointing at 'Happy Birthday'.

15) Birthday Halwa.

16) Friends who are way too good to me.

17) My family.

18) Being 24 and having successfully survived the last 23 years.
