Every year Joyce and Chelsea never fail to celebrate my birthday with me. And this year they got to book me on my actual day :)

I feel really blessed to have friends like them and we have been really close to one another for 18 years! I guess not many people have friendships that last so long. And I am sure there will be many more years to come.

We had a simple fare at Tampopo but it was an enjoyable dinner with the girls and their hubbies. AFter the dinner, we headed to Chelsea's house for another round of drinks and food and loads of laughter.

Mischa loves to blow the candles. Whenever there is a birthday cake, she will be asking if she can blow out the candles :)

Finally a group photo after several gatherings, we always leave out the hubbies. So this time I suggested to take a group photo for memories' sake!

My besties of 18 yrs! More to come buddies!
