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.
