Today is my birthday .. when I used to live in the US, one of the few accepted ways of celebrating a birthday was to go for a drink at the hooters bar. Once the staff there know its your birthday they convince you that you are a prince from Saudi and they are your harem, at least for a few minutes (was I convinced .. ?? :) ). deep down - in my heart - I knew there could be better things but I was not sure what .. well, I had them all today ..
well, there were the most awesome wishes on the phone/email from family and friends .. thanks to you all !!
But a few things made the day really special .. in the order of occurrence they are -
1. I had plans of going to Italy between 12-17 of July, and was trying to set up an appointment with the embassy hoping that I can renew my existing visa. The Italian embassy was kind enough to give me an appointment for 10th and the soonest I would get the visa in that case is the 17th. Cancelled my plans! Then looked at my existing visa, and then this time read the text in english, rather in Italian as I did previously, and it said my current visa is valid until september - hurrah ..
2. we applied for a project time allocation on swiss national computer center 2 months ago, and got the good news today - sweet
3. I had the wonderful company a few of my friends from work, even at a short notice, for a drink at Lanchetta bar .. of course, the card/gift were very special - awesome ..
4. my friends' 10 year old son baked a cake for me. This made my birthday very special compared to anything I had so far. It was just unbelievable that he was so thoughtful and sweet to bake it for me - touched .. !!
In summary, it was a great birthday. The icing will be continuing celebrations which I will have with a few friends that could not make it today .. !!
