The past is a foreign country; They do things differently there.

October’s flying by and it appears, chronologically, I have aged another year. Mentally, I’ve aged aplenty. The experiences I’ve had between October 2010 – October 2011; priceless.

Average at times, completely nutters at others and at the lowest point, nothing but pain. But I wouldn’t have done it any different if I had to do my 18th all over again. I’ve learned to appreciate what I have and love myself. I’ve met new people, experienced changes to my lifestyle and overall, had a ball.

And to celebrate another year – a week’s worth of celebrations.

A not so good evening at Paulaner on my birthday followed by amazing after dinner drinks at The Martini Bar. Drunken dinner at Itacho, a failed attempt to head to the beach but a successful adventure around Chinatown. A day at Universal Studios and about 6 times on Cylon followed by a 2 hour luxury spa at the Amara. And a completely unexpected day at the Shang’s Valley Wing. 

Let’s not forget the completely amazing POTTER PARTY ♥
Followed by more alcohol at Chupitos. 

All these amazing things, none of which would have been this amazing without mother’s birthday gift. Sweetie flew all the way down from Redmond just to be by my side. Love you darling and thank you mom ♥♥♥

♥ you, silly boy

Never in my life have I ever planned a party. Not just a dinner party but a whole large, okay medium ish gala, with food, music, venue, games, the whole thing. I couldn’t have done this without the help of my co-conspirators Reggie and Swati. We joined forces (together with Reggie and Swati’s mothers) and we had an amazing Potter Party. The venue was amazing and it suited the theme so well, the food was good and the company, even better.

This amazing work of art that apparently everyone knew was going to be gifted to me. Even when I offered to buy it from Swati, I got a “Nah, it’s not for sale.” Cheeky.

I really cannot thank everyone involved in this week, enough for making it such a success. Without any of you, I’d probably be sat on the floor on my birthday, moping about. The whole week, it was just amazing.

Unforgettable
