I had a wonderful little celebration despite the fact that my exam is barely 10 days away. The guilt. Gosh. It's overwhelming!
But then again, you only turn 21 once! I'm happy and I'm glad I had a really good one, one that has a lasting impression. Let me face the consequence now.

I didn't get wasted on my birthday. I remained extremely sober on my 21st, which is something I'm glad also so I could enjoy every bit and savour every second of it.

As I have already mentioned in my previous post I had a mini surprise bash in CF last week.
Then this weekend itself I was treated to an exquisite dinner by my personal chef.
Count down my birthday by the pool under the moonlight and finally, flew a smiley kite on my birthday itself!
I haven't flew a kite in a decade it was SO rejuvenating! And God is so good He gave me an extremely windy and shady Sunday afternoon. The sun wasn't up til it was pretty late.

I had wanted to fly a kite for a very long time but somehow it just never worked out. Then I was told that I'll be getting my 3rd surprise on Sunday itself. I was blindfolded and driven to a mysterious place (but half way there I managed to crack it. I'm too smart!) Hehe.
We spent a good 2 hours in the park soaring high with my new Smiley kite. It was just so good!

Everything went so well I can't fully express how thankful I am.

Truly, God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good! :)

I had a wonderfully pleasant birthday surprise in CF meeting this afternoon.

It was our last meeting for this term + farewell for some friends who'll be leaving soon. It was more like THEIR party rather than mine and I in fact was part of the organising dudes. My friend was playing some slideshows on the old committees when all of a sudden these slides pop out from the projector:
 

For 5 seconds I just went totally blank. The photos are so familiar but none of them look anything like the old committee. Instead they look exactly like MY photos with MY friends of whom none of them have ever known or met before.

Then suddenly it hit me. My friend secretly stole some of my FB photos and made them into a slideshow. Geez! And they started playing some kiddo version of the Happy Birthday song. So I made a wish and blew the candles and cut the cake. I don't have those photos yet because they are all still with my friends.

But this is my half eaten cake


And some birthday presents


Guess what's in the red box?

A violetish/pinkish satin/chiffon cocktail dress!



I'm not nearly 21 YET. I have 1 more week to go. But I can hardly believe I'm TWENTY-ONE.
21 sounds so old yet I don't feel old at all!

Not so very long ago girls my age would've gotten married and have kids already but look at me man... Still stuck in YEAR ONE.

Gosh.

I actually thought I'll have a REALLY quiet birthday this year as exam would be only 10 days away on my birthday (it ALWAYS happens to me! ) so most of my college friends would be either back in their hometown or too busy mugging at home and all my other friends are sprawled all over the world.

But these bunch of crazy people...

the OLD committee

and the YOUNGer one

...they colour my life in college.

Without them I'll probably be one of those outcasts sitting by myself at one corner.


Thank God for great friends! I couldn't have asked for anything more.

I know the only reason my life has been blessed so abundantly is because of Jesus. I dare not imagine what it'd have been had I not known Him.

You know what totally grosses me out?

I was happily swimming away when I suddenly realised something resembling a piece of crap at the bottom of the pool.

I don't care if I was just seeing things. I wasn't bothered to check it out and I'm not even interested! No way was I gonna go anywhere near it and pick it up and see if it's just something else. The next thing I did was jumped out of the pool, took half an hour of shower and brushed my teeth and gargle with mouthwash.

GAAAWWWWDDDD

What is it with me and shit???

I know shit happens but not supposed to be in the literal sense?!?!!
