When I imagined my birthday this year, I didn’t think it’d be smack right in the middle of a global outbreak. Not that it changes anything, of course. I stopped feeling excited for my birthday years ago. I do not need to be reminded that I’m getting older by the day.
Anyway, here’s how I spent my special day!
House 1881
As a special treat, I went to House 1881 for afternoon tea. No pictures of the actual tea set because the food was average at best. I did have fun taking selfies in the restaurant, though.
Matchali
I also checked out the Matchali pop-up at The Upper House… although I didn’t actually get anything from the menu. Basically, I went just to snap tons of pictures at The Upper House’s outdoor seating area since the colours of the hotel match my Instagram aesthetic. Hey, at least I’m being honest!
The Continental
After taking pictures at The Upper House, I went for dinner at The Continental, which was where I celebrated my birthday two years ago. The food was as good as I remembered it, as was the service. Please note that I’m a huge Swire fangirl though so this may be biased. 😛
And that concludes my super boring birthday. Basically everything I do, I do for the ‘Gram, lol. Did I put you to sleep yet? Sorry!
I had my birthday in the middle of the pandemic, too! Not a particularly exciting one this year, haha. I'm glad you had the chance to get out and do some activities, though – also I'm totally loving that tan corduroy jacket! 😀
You look beautiful. Your new hair style and the extra weight suit you.
Glad you had a good and safe one, Charmaine!
As for me, my birthday was on the first week of July. But unlike my previous birthdays, this was the happiest and most fulfilling I've had one, despite having troubles at work, meeting tight deadlines for law school, and the pandemic. and lockdown situation from where I am from. This is because it was on my birthday when my father was discharged from the hospital after undergoing a surgery.
I feel your pain, celebrated my 30th in my home with my cat, ouch!
Happy Birthday. I had my birthday in the pandemic as well and I got covid for my birthday. Lucky me! It is all about perspective! Your celebration looks like it was fun and intimate.
Lol. I had a birthday during the worst of the outbreak in my town. It especially sucks because I was pregnant on my birthday last year. I just wanna go drink a beer somewhere besides my house!!
Looks so attractive and overall your blogs is really informative thanks for share it.
Happy Birthday !
I had to spend my big 3-0 at home! It was right in the midst of the pandemic. I had so many plans of going out and doing this and that, but I ended up staying in and having video happy hours with a bunch of friends. It was still fun, something I will definitely remember! haha
