faraway

Today is my birthday.

Yes, I am 31 years old now. Yesterday, I contemplated what I have done so far and try to remember what my future plans include my career, my family, my kids, and other priorities. I felt that I did not achieve any significant progress yet, I could still not realize most of my dreams. In my birthday, I always feel that I did not do anything and my dreams were far from reached. But I have someone, my lovely husband, who always remind me that I have done so many great things and I have a lovely family. Yes, he is true … I have a wonderful husband who always love and support me, a healthy and smart boy who always lighten up my life, a lovely family who always love me, and an upcoming baby boy who will come in our life in next 2-3 weeks.

Jerome, you are very adorable. You always make my birthday become very special. Thank you for the romantic and wonderful dinner today. That was really surprised me!

Yesterday, Jerome gave a birthday present. An ipod and a bundle of Desperate Housewives’s DVD.

Today, Jerome brought us (Zach and I) to a special dinner at Jakarta Restaurant in Darmawangsa Hotel (the most luxurious hotel in Jakarta). This dinner was very … very … romantic. The hotel has made the place to be very romantic as Jerome’s plan. I were welcomed with a bundle of roses and a card. Jerome knows that I really like red rose.

In the card, I found a poem from Jerome (honey, I really love your poems) :

To : Galuh

My beloved wife
And cherished partner in life :
Life is like a rose
Sometimes silky like the petals,
Sometimes cruel like the thorns,
Silky or cruel,
Life is always cool,
As long as it lived with you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY

From : Your Cool Husband, Jerome

We had great food at Jakarta Restaurant. For dessert, Jerome had ordered a special cake for me, a blackforest. Specially, Zach sang a birthday song for me and blew the candle. He was really cute! He asked me how old I am now ….

Sayang, again, thank you for making my birthday be so special.

For Mom and Dad Cheung, Michelle, Vince and Franc, thank you for the greetings and wishing me well. I love and miss you all!

For friends (Lely, Endang, Deb, Anas, Yuli, Dewi Arya, Noer Hikmah, etc) who remember my birthday and gave me a call or send me a text messages, thank you for your love, friendship and being my truly bestfriends.
