you got a smile so bright, you know you could have been a candle



Today was World Aids Day and also my 20th Birthday...
Last night, I celebrated being 20 years young with my favourite people while drinking the most tantalizing cocktails, downing mouth-watering pad thai and scoffing delish caramel cake. I didn't get many photos because at the end of the day, you just gotta put the camera down and enjoy the moment as its beautiful self before it passes. (Apologies to those who aren't in the photos, your presence was just as magical and I love you guys just as much!). I just want to say thank you to those lovely people that made my birthday more amazing than I could have every imagined. I love you.

















Gotta love it when the your name for Reservation is spelled wrong...
"Faridan" in da houseee?












YAY BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!:




Say wha????
I could have sworn I just blew those fellas out??


JASON!!!! This cute little couple, up to their usual tricks lining the cake with magic candles. Those sneaky candles light back up when you've got your eyes closed while you make your wish:


Don't worry, I'm going to get you you freakin' naughty candle...


I also want to say thank you to my beautiful readers. You are all so beautiful, unique and are an amazing individual. Don't ever let anything in life make you doubt that. It's your life and no one can change that. Lots of love.

Happy Birthday Fairydah!

...I've been following your blog for a while but this is the first time I have left a comment.
Love your open hearted sassy personality and style. You are lovely.

Happy birffday! :P I think it's only right that since your name was misspelled, birthday has to be too.

I love your grainy photos. I love that texture and the colors.

I feel like we'll get along so well especially since you have no qualms about putting up photos where you're making a face like this: @weij23j23-40s

lol

Wishing you a lot of more birthdays to come!

Oh and I used a Canon 20D. :/ It's kind of funny, because the camera is so screwed up. It has a hard time focusing so I'm pretty sure it's dying. Going to make an upgrade to Canon 5D when the money comes. :P

I really really like the atmosphere of these shots, and are thoses tables moroccan? :)

Happy Birthday Faridan!
No, i'm kidding, haha.
Your birthday looks amazing though, drinks with a few friends is so much cozier compared to a massive blowout with too many people you don't know and someone throwing up in your garden bed.
And I love Pad Thai sooooooo much.
You look beautiful, Faridah.

Hey Faridah !!

Ohhh no,I'm a day late now. But Happy Belated Birthday sweetheart:) I wish you more happiness and more smiles each day. Wooo,it really does seem like you had a great time!

And on the spelling error with the reservation,so funny and it happens to me too. I always love those ever burning candles! Looks like you had lovely gifts too.

I didn't know it was your birthday soon so I could have included a gift in your package. Awww man,but I know you'll love what I've gotten you.

big hugssssss!
