50 years! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm 50 today. How I've waited for this day? Some women are afraid of reaching half a century. Not me! I've been so anxious for this day to arrive.

I reckon it's like celebrating the 21st birthday. Everyone waits for it, to get the so-called key to freedom.

Celebrating my 50th birthday is such a milestone for me. It's a privilege. Some don't get the chance to reach it.

I'm just deliriously happy. I'm with my loving family. What more could I ask for?

Today is the beginning of a new chapter for me.

Note: some birthday photos will be posted soon.

Miriam: How nice of you to post a kind comment and wish for my birthday. That, in itself, was a great gift.

Thank you ever so much! :)

Lita, you and me are the same. I also was so so excited to celebrate my 50th birthday. It was a milestone that I reached despite not having much to show lah. A broken marriage and no kids, nothing to my name but I was still so excited to turn 50. When you come back from Singapore, we shall go out ok. Again Happy Birthday and God Bless you my dearest friend. Hey you don't even look it.....God has given you the genes and you look absolutely lovely. Enjoy...

Wow baby. You really look good and sweet.

I just had to squeeze in my 'happy birthday' here - so it is on record lah!

I opened this in PD, and wasn't able to post a comment :(

Who'd be afraid of 50 if they looked as cool as you do? ;)
