Birthdays

Birthdays. The day celebrated by people around the world to commemorate their birth. My birthday was not long ago, in fact, it was only 12 days ago, on the 8th of January. By the way, if you are wondering what is so special about my birthday, the great Elvis Presley was also born on th 8th of January. Despite the fact that I did not have a party, I still enjoyed my special day this year. Here's all the events that took place: 

1 week before my birthday - 31/12/10 - New Year's Eve

To celebrate my birthday, my family and I went to New York New York, a restaurant, not the actual city, for dinner. To my surprise, the service there was the same as usual, despite it being New Year’s Eve. After having a wonderful meal, it is customary that people have dessert. Thus, I ordered the ‘Mud pie’ – mud moulded together in a pie shape, but in this case it was chocolate. The over-chocolaty treat was just amazing; it could have become heaven to chocoholics. After that scrumptious meal, we carried on with our yearly tradition of watching the countdown party on TV.

 

Birthday week – 8/1/11

Finally, after another 365 days comes my birthday again. On this very wonderful day, my family along with the birthday boy, me, went to Swensen’s for some ice cream favourites such as my all time favourite, a cup of the sensational sticky, chewy chocolate ice cream engulfed with hot fudge. To me, there is no word in the English language to describe how much I love it, in fact, I would even marry it. Fast forward a few hours, and I am at home together with my family cutting my ultimate extraordinary Black Forest birthday cake with fudge oozing out of it as the knife pokes though it. It was as if I were killing the cake and it started to bleed fudge. It was like the cake was for a King. Also, at the end of the day, I also checked my Facebook wall and was elated to see all the birthday wishes from all my friends.

So, that sums up what I did on my 14^th birthday. All the fun and excitement are all over now, but I can’t wait for next year. The countdown begins, 353 days to go.
