B-day in Singapore

I have been officially 24 (years young) for the past 3 days. Yes, my b-day has passed and, even though I was sceptical, it was a complete success. I entered my b-day in a night club, drinking champagne and eating chocolate cake with lots of friends while a latino band sang happy b-day to me in the background.
The evening of the same day I spent in a spa, soaking in milk and wine Jacuzzi after which I experienced the most astonishing body scrub and massage with strawberry and wine extracts. Yummy. A gift from my significant other. :)

24 doesn’t feel different, the same amount the work, the same house chores and the same old habits. The only difference is that this year I didn’t celebrate my birthday with my parents and my friends in Bosnia and I have to admit, the home-sickness kicked in a little bit. But only a little bit.
I especially felt this when I got a gift box from my family with all sorts of little things like a plane model and jewellery, PJs and business shirts… it was a day full of suprises.

Life in Singapore is still fun. I got used to the Asian way of working by now and weekends fly by faster than even before. Time is moving quicker than I would want it to but I have accepted it to be the one thing I cannot change. I can only adjust and try using my time the best way possible.
Next week is the National Day of Singapore, its 42nd b-day and a holiday, so I am looking forward to the plane parade organised by the government for the event. They have been testing fireworks for the last 2 months for this day so I am expecting something
