The smile on your face; lets me know that you need me.

Ayy Baybayy!

Well today, today, today..... What can I say? Today was my baby cousin's birthday. I was supposed to go to Bandar for the party but we had to go to Miri first. Mom woke me up at 8 a.m. - which I consider early during the holidays. I had to decorate our birthday present - cupcakes. I have to say I am pretty good at decorating pastries now. I decorate all my mom's cake orders. I'll have to post pics some time. So I spent over half an hour decorating 50 cupcakes. We were supposed to leave the house at 9 a.m. but we ended up leaving at 10 a.m. Why did I have a feeling we weren't gonna make it to the 2.30 p.m. party?

When we got to the queue, it was unbelievable. The Brunei side of the queue was SOOOO long. But when we got to Miri, there was literally no queue. Just a couple of cars waiting in line at every booth. The way it should be. Why the heck is the Brunei Immigration Dept. such a lagger? Geez.....

So we reached Miri at about midday. I had some delicious Chicken Rice at KFC. Just in time because there was a rumbly in my tummy. Lol. Fried chicken with chicken rice tastes weird though. Fried chicken should be served with gravy or something.

For dessert, we went to my favourite cafe & hangout spot in the world! Starbucks! I'm a faithful customer. I absolutely love the vibe there.

Chillaxed.

Relaxing.

Comfy.

Warmly inviting.

BRILLIANT!

The person who created Starbucks is pure genius. I love the people there too. They are the friendliest, most cheerful, most professional staff I've seen anywhere. Right when we entered the door, the people said,"Good afternoon! Welcome to Starbucks!" in a warm, heartfelt manner. Some people "botox" smiles on their faces when you enter. They even recommend drinks for you so that you don't have to look at the menu like a fool; because all the drinks are supa-cool! I ordered the Chocolate Cream Frapp. Unfortunately, it started raining. But the weather couldn't dampen the vibe in there. Even for a nano-second! The great indie music mix really helped. I felt so laid-back. Starbucks is definitely THE non-spa R&R treatment for dudes.

When we got back to KB, it was too late to go to Bandar. Plus it was raining! So I missed my cousin's birthday party. And a chance to meet my other amazing cousins. But they loved my cupcakes! At least that accounts for something :)

Decorated these babies myself :D
