My 9th Birthday

Oh yay, my 9th birthday is just around the corner!

Hip, hip, hooray!

To celebrate this special occasion, my mum had

a surprise in store for me and my brother. She whisked

us away to the Lexis Hibiscus hotel in Port-Dickson. Can

you believe it? A birthday party at a beachfront hotel! I

was beyond thrilled!

On the 17th of October, we embarked on our

adventure. You see, my actual birthday, or B-day for

short, was on the 18th of October. The anticipation was

building up as we checked into our room. And oh my, let

me tell you, it was a room fit for a birthday girl for sure!

The cherry on top? A private swimming pool!

Now, here is the thing about pools. Most of the time, I still

need a floaty to keep me afloat. But guess what? In this pool, my

feet could actually touch the bottom! It was a magical feeling,

being able to stand on my own two feet underwater.

Let me roll back a little bit. We kicked off our adventure

by buying some beach essentials during our drive to the hotel.

Upon arrival, we made sure to sanitise everything and take a

thorough look around, keeping in mind the COVID-19 situation.

Safety first, you know! Once we had sanitised our hotel room,

we used the TV to schedule our breakfast for the next day. It

was like being a hotel manager, deciding what time and what

delicious food we wanted to start our special day with. Exciting

stuff!

Then it was time to make a splash! Initially, my mum

suggested heading to the beach, but we unanimously decided

to make a splash in our private pool instead. With swimsuits on

and excitement in the air, we dove into the crystal-clear waters.

With no floaties needed here, it was pure aquatic freedom!

As the sun set, we decided to kick off the celebration a

little early. The cake from Bisou, a delightful bakery shop, stole

the show. It was a tantalising blend of chocolate and butter,

topped with tiny red and green army men. How cool is that?

And let’s not forget about my present – a brand new wolf plush

toy! It instantly became my new cuddly companion. I am happy

to report that we are still inseparable, even though I just turned

nine (not that I have forgotten about Cloudy!).

And there you have it, that wraps up this exciting birthday story, my first birthday celebration in Malaysia. It was a day filled with laughter, surprises, and memories that will last a lifetime.
