thank u. for putting up a surprise party that was really so surprising. i didn't expect anything at all. and amid ur projects, meetings, tests and other stuff, people still turned up, hid and jumped up to say 'surprise!'. thank u. i'm loved.
was walking from school to town today. (takes only 30mins) and couldn't help but think about my 21st birthday. i'm not sure if it's common to do this, but i often think of the previous year's birthday. that was exactly what i did.
being the 21st, i threw a party. it was so nice. it was a garden party with finger food, wine and cake. people dressed up and came with gifts, made small talk and laughed. later over delicious cake, they celebrated my life. thanks. i turned 21.
my party wasn't on the exact day. so when the eve of the real day came along, i knew that pple were suffering from celebration fatigue. so no way are they goin to surprise me. but being the real day, it was significant to me. i wondered if pple would care. i cried simply wondering. and they did. that was the first and last time i celebrated my birthday in McDonald's.
as i walked to town, i was thinking. thinking. and occasionally hurting. but also thanking God. for everything He has provided. When i was unsure, he gave me assurance. when i was sad, he gave me friends. when i'm hopeful, He reminds me to keep praying.
Today was such an enjoyable day. with friends who have known me for over 10 years. Yea, Ge, u noe u have been my ge for over 10 years? cos i got to know u when i was 11! And Genie and Qing. Such important people. And i can't believe u people actually bought me presents. what a nice surprise. thank you. thank you. thank you.
tomorrow i'm goin to Humble House with my family. cos they love me and they celebrate my birthday with me every year, over a dinner. thank God for family.
