Woo. A few more hours before midnight strikes and I turn 18. And every year, but not this year, I quite anticipate, and fear, this day...because I dunno how is it gonna be like. I dun organize big gatherings and plan outings with my family and friends to celebrate. Maybe because I dun have an extensive list of people to invite, or maybe because I'm afraid of my worth in people's eye and so afraid of their response. Hmm. Oh, there will be the usual ang baos from my parents and grandma..and sometimes a dinner out together on another day, celebrating both me and my brother's birthdays. The day itself is always spent at home and it goes on until 2 years ago.
Came my Daddy up in heaven. I can remembered my 16th birthday onwards...well, it was quiet. Just 2 person. Me and my first sister-friend. But I will not forget her or that day, or the days together. She bought me two presents, which is more than I ever recieve or wish for because I didn't ask for any. Two tops which I often wear now still. Ironically, we went to far far woodlands Causeway Point too, to eat seoul garden and go library to study for our O's lol. yeah study. But that's not the main point. That's Geraldine Foo. =)
Moving on, after O's, I went on to Republic Poly, which is at Woodlands (I stay east). Boy, the north side is where all the wonderful memories are created. Heee. So on the 17th year of my life, I remember there was Rexaz training. haha. It was newly set up then. And before that TRP o6 celebrated at Pizza hut for me. Rather uncomfortable cause I dun really know them and I thank the guy who organize it though it's sort of like a one stone kill two birds kind of thing u know. But it's still nice to know people make the effort even for some1 they dunno. =) So then rush down for training and was early. Iggy and Joseph was there. And they have something up their sleeves. lol. It's something small but nevertheless, I was really touched. A small cake, with a candle which they insist I blow 17 times, nearly and a little card and photo frame. It's all on my room's desk now still.
And God indeed is unfathomable. =) How one thing leads to another in my life...things of no link but yet come together into my life..the people He brought. Wohoo! Haha. Gosh, tomorrow Mr.Patrick is coming up with a surprise which he kept secret for many weeks despite my pestering. The clues he gave....as well dun give la. I'm so happy. I guess it'll be quiet. But I like it. Just sincere and simple =) with lots of love.
P.S I just remembered. Last year, Joseph and Iggy got the dates messed up and Iggy called me at the wrong day to wish me happy b'day! A few days later, he called again, around this time, this date last year, he sang an early birthday song because he can't keep his eyes open any longer. Hahaha. Okay...he's genuinely embarrassed. God bless this 2 guys. =)
