My Perfect Day

Salam...



Yesterday the 6^th April 2011 was extremely the most perfect day for me. Why? Because it was simply my birthday and on top of it I finally hit the mark – the number 40. J



Here’s the story…

As usual, I woke up at six in the morning, prepared and performed the necessity, had breakfast and off to the car for work. When I opened the car door, I saw a birthday card. Ha..ha..ha.. guess what? It was from my son Ilhan. After I read it, I smiled to myself and ignited the engine.

Then, my son Ilhan got into the car and before we were off, my wife Norul wished and reminded me to reach home earlier than usual as she planned to take me out for dinner. I smiled, waved at her and off to the school my son and I were.

While I was driving, an SMS came in which was from my younger sister Rima and it read "happy birthday my beloved brother... may all your wishlist come true.. enjoy your 40s day..: )". After reading it, again I smiled to myself.

Driving about twenty minutes time, I then reached my son's school. Before he left the car, he shook, kissed my hand and greeted me happy birthday. I stared at him, and again I smiled, kissed his forehead and reminded him to focus in class before he left the car.

Next destination, to my work place which distance is about twenty kilometers away from my son's school. While driving, smiling to myself, I thought and said in my heart, "Hmm... so far so good, hope today will really be my day".

Ten minutes to eight in the morning, I reached my office. Switched on my Dell Latitude E6410 and browsed through my e-mail. Meanwhile, I prepared some materials which I was to present for the weekly ten o'clock top management meeting. Five minutes before time, I was already in the conference room. The meeting started exactly at ten and went all the way smoothly as usual. Came the round-the-table, then, my peer Raja who is also a Senior Manager, mentioned in the meeting that the day was my birthday and everybody greeted me. And again I smiled and expressed my thanks to all of them.

My watch showed one clock when the meeting ended and I returned to my office. I cleared a few things and went for my break. While walking to the rest area, a few of the staff greeted me too. It was a great feeling when people who were even the blue collar greeted me. J

After I had my break, it was already three in the afternoon. As usual, I was handling and dealing with a few things when suddenly I heard people singing the common birthday song. I turned my head and looked outside of my room, guess what.... they were my staff. I went out, gave them a smile, blew the candles and cut the cake. You guys rock!!! Thank you for the cake and the celebration...

Moments later, I received a call from my daughter, Shahira who is in a boarding school poured me with greetings and love. Hmmm... I just can't explain the feelings. It was awesome and very priceless as a father.

I continued with my work and about six in the afternoon, I left my office for home.

Once I reached home, I prepared myself and about fifteen minutes to eight my son, my wife and I we went to Secret Recipe restaurant which distance was about 10 minutes from our house.

There, we ordered the food and had the most pleasant and relaxing evening after all. While enjoying our dinner, my son snapped a unique photograph as I considered.

.......and again he snapped another photograph.

We ended our dinner at about half past nine and we were on our way home. Fifteen minutes later, we reached home.

Next, when we were at home, my wife took out the cake and I did the commonly being done by others. The cake was of great taste. Thanks dear...

Finally, cream of the crop, on my 40th birthday, my wife presented me an Ibanez SA Series. Yeah!!! A great "axe" and I extremely appreciated it!!! Thanks again dear... I just can't wait to experment it.

Overall, it was one of the best day I had ever experienced throughout my life. How I realized love and affectionate are things which we can't afford to lose.

Last but not least, a special shoutout to my brother Shaffik owner of Shaffik.com blog for guiding me on blogging and helping me to fulfil one of my 2011 resolution. Thanks brother.... I did it!

These had absolutely made my day and in my case I rated it as a perfect one, a perfect day afterall.

See ya...
