You may call me a drama queen with the title BUT what I’ve experienced this year echoes my mom’s thoughts and words during a recent shoot with her which you will see soon…
“She has experienced and done so much in her short young life”
Well the thing is, every birthday for me is a celebration not just for me, but my friends and this year it is THAT and more.. the realization that I get to live up to now.. and I survived a life threatening illness…… crazy as it may sound, but when you go through something like that, you appreciate life a lot more!
This time around, I didn’t get to celebrate exactly on my birthday but this post is to detail to you the meaningful people in my life and how appreciative I am of them 🙂
1st Birthday Celebration
Hosted the Vale Launch in Lumut, Perak with the presence of His Royal Highness Sultan of Perak so I didn’t get to celebrate on the day itself , how could you turn something so grand down right?
But my grandma(popo), uncle, and auntie took me to eat seafood and got me a small cake to blow 🙂
2nd Birthday Celebration
Celebrated with my family at Grand Kingdom, and my beautiful niece.. it’s nice that she can finally sit on my lap and lean on me because I couldn’t do that when I was sick..
A family photo is a MUST! They were very supportive throughout and still is… Thank you for staying through my tears.. I love you guys!!
3rd Birthday Celebration
My #ootn – A jumpsuit matched with a pearl necklace, ring, and statement heels, comfortable yet stylish
It was held in La Risata with a group of my friends which I hold close to my heart…
Ivan came as well to blow the cake with me
The wish of Life <3
Thank you Ben for generously treating my friends and I for my birthday, the lovely cake, and just for being there for me.. and being YOU! So lucky to have you in my life…(there I said it!)

4th Birthday Celebration
With Ben’s family!! Another cake from him… Thank u!!
Ben’s family who were very supportive of me as well… Thank you for all the advice and support in many ways…. HUGZ
5th Birthday Celebration
Super yummy cake from Acme South
Thank you Filen for the lunch treat… and to those who knows… you did a great job without me….
Honestly, this post feels more like a speech of “Thank you’s” than a blog post but it has to be done! Words are so powerful when it’s read.. many of us can talk, but once it’s in writing and immortalized online, it’s a way to show my deepest gratitude from the heart!!!
I do hope to celebrate many more birthdays to come, and I will celebrate it with zest every year, and I wish all of you would do the same as well… never take life for granted!!!
Love,
Mei Sze
