Hello Obama-land (Washington DC)

By admin

Teja and I arrived in Washington DC after President Obama proclaimed that he supported gay marriage. But it didn’t seem like it was big news over there but I’m glad he did it. On that note, here’s a little trip that I enjoyed very much, even if it was just a couple of days.

Visiting Georgetown University and checking out their campus. It looks so familiar that I’m sure its been used by so many films out there. We had a lovely afternoon walking along M street and getting lost hahahah.

We took a Segway tour called Segs in the City and rode along the street in the bike lanes. I tried my best to keep up but luckily I was the last so I wasn’t keeping anyone behind. The image above is the building that promotes (correct use of verb) Free Press.

Safety first! I’m in the middle of the street!

Here’s the stunning US Capitol!

T and I on our segways infront of the Washington Monument. Tallest in USA! (and world too?)

The White House. Didn’t see the Obamas but it was so cute and quaint!

After we finished our wonderful tour, we all got licenses. I highly recommend Segs in the City. We were in a small group of 6 and our tour guide Nate was incredibly knowledgeable, throwing trivia questions at us. I tried my best to answer but my American History knowledge is limited to the first three presidents and the last five.

Going up the steep escalator from Metro –  Dupont Circle. I never realized the Metro was buried so deep.

T and I enjoying a day out in the circle fountain after celebrating with my birthday cupcake at Hello Cupcakes nearby.

Getting ready for dinner at St. Regis Hotel.

Bon Appetit! We selected a tasting menu with wine pairings and we got drunk quickly by the time it hit 10:30pm. Friends called to say hi but I was already fast asleep, sorry!!
I had a fantastic trip and although DC was never one of the cities on my list to visit, I still had an amazing time and I got to catch up with my bff. We haven’t seen each other since Malaysia but we always pick up where we left off.
Moms for life.

    We all got dressed up for @roshanvaliram’s birth We all got dressed up for @roshanvaliram’s birthday celebrations last night! Pulled this gown by @syomirizwagupta out of my closet to dress in theme! (Thank God it still fits!) 

It was so good to connect with so many faces I haven’t seen in ages and the best thing about friendships are the laughter, the connection and how they bring out the best in you. 

In isolation, we learn how to connect with ourselves but in communities we learn how to connect with others. When we learn how celebrate one another, we give ourselves the permission to celebrate us. ❤️

Happy birthday Roshan!

    This year has been memorable for many reasons and This year has been memorable for many reasons and it has been the year where I have introduced more self-acceptance in my journey. The feeling of lack and the needing to compare has faded into the opportunity to celebrate joy. 

By the act of surrender and flowing into alignment, the gift of abundance has been more evident than ever. Whatever I do to give comes back ten-fold through friendships, relationships and partnerships. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out my birthday and give a treat to those who don’t often feel celebrated. I wanted to share my blessings with them. 

Thank you @mykyochon for helping me organise, @ngohub.asia for helping me discover @destinywelfare and @nadiahnasirr / @heyjnrjh for being a part of this. 

More importantly thank you to Irene for offering these children a solid education during these formative years. 

Everyone remembers kindness and it is never a random act. ❤️

I felt so grateful to have everyone in my life, especially those who have taken the time to send birthday wishes. The pink candle represents the last year of this decade for me! So it was indeed a special one. My friends know me best when it comes down to being celebrated on my special day! How can one complain when there is an abundance of love being showered over me. Thank you for one of the best birthdays yet! 🥰🥰🥰
