happy eighteen to me! (:

WOW. got nothing else i can think of to say but WOW.

haha.

I'm lost for words too touched by the love everyone has shown me this birthday even though i'm away from home.

let's see...

it started yesterday 24th sept lik jin, darren, billy n i went to have lunch with june ping and zhi ying. It was supposed to be a surprise for june ping and we sort of celebrated our birthdays together. It was fun haha ate at Xin Wang at Cine, Hong Kong food as recommended by Billy (:

I was late though cos i had to meet uncle David, my mom's colleague who was here in SIngapore. He came all the way from tampines to meet me near heeren to pass me my birthday gift!! Which also included the chocolates my mommy sent from accross the border (:

My family called me to wish me an early birthday too!! (:Then Lik Jin, June Ping, Zhi Ying n
Michele came to give me early bday greetings n gifts!! (:

very much later on......

the clock struck 12 and i didn't even realise it till my roommates chu hui and rachel came and wished me a happy birthday and gave me my bday pressies haha!! (: Then wah suddenly my phone was vibrating with loads of text messages with birhtday wishes from friends back home and friends here too!!

and then one pleasant surprise followed another....

Allen called and asked me to look under my pillow haha Rachel helped him put it there for me it's my first bday surprise-- a book! (A walk to remember)...so sweet haha!!

almost immediately after that zhao xing my kai gor called from all the way back HOME!! haha (:
He called to wish me a happy birthday and yeah we talked talked talked til it was past 1am lar!

Hahaha and finally i prayed n went to sleep.

Next day we have school. HAh I nearly couldn't wake up.

But went to school just like any other day, did my quiet time in the morning and also prayed for my ultimate birthday wish - that I may be changed inside so He can use me more effectively in His Kingdom (: Thank you Lord for creating me! (: Dedicating my eighteenth year to Him (:

There was no PE today. Prolly cos of the rainy weather and also cos it was CCA record checking day (: Went to shower with wan wei n ren xin after that anyways (:

Haha, and then the funny part came...

Ren xin showered so quick she left early and told us to take our time. Wan wei and I talked a lot in the shower room haha den we decided it was time to go to ohana... den ren xin came running towards us and asked wan wei why she didnt pick up her call she was trying to get her haha.
Den wan wei suddenly said that she "left her bottle" in the shower room and asked me to accompany her back. So we did! and we couldn't find any 'bottle' haha. We went back to ohana and this time alvin came up front to ask wan wei about some CCA records thing. Haha, apparently he had some 'events' that were not listed and they went on and on about which teacher to look for and what deadline and stuff. Haha I was very amused (as much, if not more, than wan wei i must say)...alvin and CCA events haha... and then wala! The cake was laid out and candles lit and my classmates beckoned me to go over haha i could see the look of relief on both alvin and wan wei's face haha.

and lo n behold! I had a giant fudgy wudgy chewy gooey brownie for my birthday cake!! Must have been Ren Xin's idea haha and yeah sang song n blew candles n stuff and wah the special part came after that... my classmates sat me down with Justin's PSP and played me a video... a video they specially made for me!!!! OMG.

haha i was laughing SO SO SOOOOOOOO hard my sides hurt like MAD. and tears were coming out of my eyes (i dunno if i was touched or if i was laughing too hard). WaLau they actually spent the whole day before 'filming' and 'editing' and puting the video together (Justin practically didn't sleep cos he was busy editing!!! omg omg omg) Haha. will load the video on the blog soon!! (: HAHAHA IT'S SUPER GOOD and super touching i was really realllly moved it's like one of the best pressies i've ever recieved in my life haha!!!

and one of the BESTEST EVERRR GIFTS i received was... guess what? Ren Xin's prayer for me (: She prayed a birhtday prayer for me!!! Which she syas she prepared and rehearsed haha wahlau but it was so natural n sincere and wah!! (: heart melt. (:

Anyway, jia le gave me the 'book' he wrote for me for my birthday walauu i'm so gonna treasure it (and not to mention copy all his nice phrases and sentence structures to use for my chinese essay hahaha) and it was entitled 'wo de ye man da jie da'===> .my sassy big sister' haha!!! He even drew the cover page lar walau haha!!! (:

Then after that we (Jianwei, renxin, alvin, peng ming, jia le, xin jie, bok) went for class and went for lunch and movie at cine. Watched the banquet today. Hahaha we took neoprints and ended up 10 minutes late for the show. Super fun lar haha come to think of it i don't know why I laughed so much so hard at everything they said and did. Super funny bunch of ppl la. (esp peng ming, he STUNNED us with his wise cracks again and again today). oH and we presented Ren Xin with the ballerina necklace I saw that day and COULDN'T RESIST buying then i realised i couldn't afford it after that and so i got everyone to chip in :P) Haha. Anyway bout the show, I think it's very artsy. Prolly why some of the audience laughed at the most wrong of times lar wahlau, atomosphere kinda ruined. But personally, I liked the show. (Will talk more bout it in the next blog post)

Oh MaN!! after that i was late for my dinner date with my roomies at chomp chomp. They were already there when my movie ended!! So i rushed to Ang Mo Kio MRT and jia le my guai xiao di, accompanied me on the bus no.73 all the way to chomp chomp. He kept saying he didn't know where he could alight haha but even i'm not stupid enough to believe that haha he just feels that i'd definitely get lost if i were to go alone ahaha. So much for faith in me lar. Haha, but that was very sweet of my xiao di (: thanks jia le! and wala I finally reached the place and YAY i saw my roomies!!

Ran over there and plonked my butt right down on the seat next to chu hui.
They got up immediately and was bout to walk away. Haha and then they laughed and sat back down again. Haha i apologised for being so DARN LATE!!! and wah they left me food lar super touched (: And we talked and talked and talked and went on to desert wanted to buy them ice kacang but kwang ying was faster than me. Haha. Then da pao -ed popiah for zhi ying and michele and we were on our way home....

and YAY! HADY WON!! (:

ahaha and yea we took bus back and met jason when we came in and he gave me bday gift wishing me happy bday (: And then went back to the room and saw something hanging from the door knob it's a note n a gift from christine!! (: and then renxin came and passed me su inn's gift and u know what!!! AH-NIU album!! She helped my tou dai lup wai buy it for me so sweet right!!(:

and then Jingjie called and they have tai yong and wan lin and kuan chin on conference call. I didn't know at first then they sang me 'happy birthday'altogether haha!! (: The school prayer group (:

Then it was present opening time and ms Chin Yee came in to give me something and wish me happy birhtday too! SOO SOOO SWEEEET!!! (: She's like the best AHM ever lar haha. Gave her a BIG hug (:

And that was about it i'm just bout done with my birhtday and i wanna thank:

(: And so many others too esp the AJ (suewen michele zhiying christine arti chareli etc etc etc even the guys lar hahahaha) n IJ...jason allen touty etc ppl too!

Guess that's prolly why even the pythons n snakes patronise our homely turf. Haha. Soaking up the excitement i expect. But Christine says they're deaf, so they can't hear us all in the A2 clusters screaming n running about hahaha.

the horribble irony of life.

what is the worst irony of life? the most horrible one of all?

so near, so close, yet so far.

I used to think I have a big heart. Now I realise all i had was a big head, full of air. You'd be appalled if you knew the real me.

And I thought I understood people. Nope. Not at all. Not even the slightest bit.

I don't even understand myself, but one thing's for sure.

to those who don't know yet, i'm highly INSENSITIVE. (Left renxin to go back alone today, I know she doesn't mind but I just realised how selfish it was of me). i will never know what you're really thinking until you tell me directly, in my face, please. Send me an sms and I still might not even get it.

I'm sorry for everything. Sincerely I am.

Maybe you want distance from me. I don't know. Or maybe it's just the annoying part of me you cannot stand. I'll change, I promise. You probably want to keep your distance. And yes I finally realise how rude it is to ask where you went again and again. That's why I never do anymore.

Remembered all the good memories of J1 life this morning. Especially the study sessions before promos, nearly everyday after school, and those bus rides back. And those highly underdressed, but happy trips to orchard. I cried. I never realised I had so many to cherish and I realised again how much people around me love me, so much so that I'm spoilt by it. And how much you (all) had to put up with to make me feel loved. But I don't want to be kept from the truth anymore, the truth of how you feel, of how really difficult it is to be my friend.

Aiks.

Maybe I think too much. Over-complicate things.

I don't know lar.

talk to me.

i was so sick and tired of studying at one point yesterday i just sat in front of my computer and waited for someone to send me a message on MSN messenger.

seems like everyone was busy so i just sent messages to a few of them. and they never replied so i decided to go and sleep, leaving my computer on.

the next day i woke up i had 11 messages! From the least likely of people sumore, people like jit han, cow, etc etc etc. And yep they all only messaged me after 12 some as 'early' as 3:45am. Haha.

God knows what they're doing up at that time. Mugging prolly?

Bleh.
