is this what happens when you get older?

happy birthday to me. today i turn a grand 'old' age of 26.

strangely i don't feel like partying. i feel like having a nice quiet night. but my party girl is all geared up for a party and i don't wanna disappoint her. besides a few other people that we know from the party circuit is also gearing up. can't disappoint 'em either. i'm hoping for just a few drinks and head home relatively early since i still have to work tomorrow. but unfortunately i don't think that's gonna happen.

i'm worried.

i know that there will be quite a bit of drinks... and i'll be the one that they'd want drinking all those drinks. oh gosh...

but i'm telling myself that no more drinking after this. to make sure that that actually happens, i made plans with other friends for the weekend so that i'd be less tempted to head out with my party girl. i really want to cut down on the drinking and party lifestyle. i can't believe i'm actually saying that. am i just getting older?

my london guy friend wished me over IM. he told me that he got me a pressie which he's going to mail today. i didn't expect that. what a sweetheart... it's in the lil things that make me swoon... like when i was in london and he was supposed to meet me. he had bought himself a drink and got me one as well even though i didn't even ask. or the time when he burned me a cd of the 8 minute ab workout 'coz we were talking bout it and passed it to me months later when he came over to visit even though i had forgotten all bout it. he also bought me a travel book on london.

and even for out of office eye candy, he tells me to watch out for hot coffee and asks me if i want any food when he's coming into the office 'coz he knows i'm perpetually eating haha! it's all in the lil things.
