Happy Birthday To Me

January 14th marks my birthday and I cannot be grateful enough for 30 years of blessings through ups and downs, for a husband who always supports me, for my family and friends, my colleagues, my mentors. All these people have made me who I am today, and I thank God for giving me chance of having them in my life.

I got a Fitbit One from my husband and a lovely earring stand from a good friend of mine. My husband also got me my favourite Watermelon Cake from Black Star Pastry.
