Last Thursday, on December 5, 2024, we celebrated a significant milestone—Alycia’s 21st birthday! It was a simple yet meaningful day, filled with good food, heartfelt moments, and gratitude for how far she has come.
To kick off Alycia’s special day, we headed to The Gardens Mall for a beef hotpot buffet lunch at Wagyu More. It was just Alycia, my mother-in-law, and me, as Cass and Sherilyn were at school, and my hubby was busy at work.
The buffet was delightful, offering a wide array of meats, vegetables, fish balls, meatballs, and cooked appetizers. Alycia was in her element, happily devouring plates of tender beef and pork slices, while I enjoyed the lighter offerings. As much as I love buffets, I’ve come to realize that my appetite isn’t what it used to be—hubby and I often reminisce about our younger days when we could indulge in endless rounds of food! Buffet lunches were our weekly affair. Now, I appreciate the company and the experience more than the sheer quantity.
After our hearty hotpot lunch, we made our way to Alexis Bistro to pick up some of their signature sliced cakes. Alycia loves cakes, so it was the perfect little treat to add sweetness to her day.
For dinner, my mother-in-law generously treated us to pizzas and pasta from Bottega Mediterranea, a cozy Italian family-run café-deli. We ordered via Grab Food. The delicious spread was enjoyed at home, making for a relaxed and intimate evening to end Alycia’s special day.
And just like that, my precious baby turned 21! Alycia will always be my miracle precious baby—the one I prayed for and longed for years to hold in my arms. As I watched her celebrate this milestone, my heart was filled with gratitude and pride. I pray that God continues to bless her with a life filled with happiness, good health, and success.
Happy birthday, Alycia—you will always be my precious baby!
Alycia’s friend gifted her this super yummy strawberry cake from Lilian’s Cake House @ Mont Kiara. It’s sponge cake with fresh cream and big juicy strawberries , one of the tastiest strawberry cakes we’ve tasted.
