What makes a birthday special to you?

my birthday presents... 

To me, I would consider this year birthday as one of special/nicest birthday I have had in years. Why? That is becoz
1. To hear a innocent kid's voice first thing in the morning calling out to me saying "auntie *****, wakey wakey".. how cute is that, when you see her laughing when she sees you coming out of the room

2. I got to celebrate 1/2 of my bday on the plane

3. Had an fanastic meal on the roadside with my friends

4. To be treated to a birdnest(seriously, I am glad i choose the 4th grade type, coz i s*** dun know the difference)

5. Got loads of birthday well wishes...this is probably the 1st time I ever got soooo many sms of well wishes.. its nice when people whom you didn't think they remember or know, to make the effort to wish me well on my **th birthday.

6. I had herbalspacerat preparing a fanastic meal in celebration of my bday even tho she was in huge pain just 1 day ago.I love every bite of the food I had herbie!!

7. Of course, I love all the presents that I have received.. (I know there is one darth tatar coming.. it's late but I always believe, better late than never!)

8. Nice to celebrate my **th bday on the **th apr and be seated on row ** on the plane
