I am not going to give any mysterious intro here.....let's hit the point...today is my birthday and i'm turning 21...
The purpose of the blog is simply to capture those crucial 24 hours of my first day stepping into the realm of a young adult.
The night started at 10 am 17 july 2008, Sheares Hall, when my IC costume rushed us out of the seminar room promising that she would treat us to Fong Seng (an eating place..). Her jittery actions seemed to give lemon (another bday gal) and i a hint that she was up to something.. , Poh ling was accidentally standing in front of the lift trying to tell the IC that we were not supposed to come back so early and yet, we have already arrived...***no turning back now in their plan..
The electric contact from their eyes as they met each others' was caught by me and i quickly concluded that they have something in store...(oohh.. my cute lil' hallmates)..i acted obediently (meaning keep quiet buat tak tau)..not wanting to destroy the plan they had built together..
As we waited in lemon's room, a knock was heard which to my real surprise, Elin showed up...ohh..she looked so lovely after the hols...and even lovelier is the *Birthday Cake* she was holding..(too bad i don have camera to show the pic)
with fruits topping and strawberry cream covering.. simply yummy!!! not forgetting the pizzas they served...which was enuf to make us sit inside a tiny room with 3 people on the bed, one on a chair, another on a small box, and lastly on the floor for the next two hours trying to dig stories and more stories. (For privacy purpose, those are not going to be discussed in this blog..if i am kind enuf, perhaps in my later stories)
The night went on with my sis calling me to wish happy bday and my frens singing me the infamous happy bday song..(phew...it lasted less than 10 seconds j/k)....oh yeahhhh POh Ling got me a present... it was Pantene hair moisturizer..she is soooo sweet haha actually it was for coloured hair but since she is so genuine, i will spray it on my naturally black hair...
It was around 1 + when elin wanted to go back and there was the kind yee mun who wanted to walk her back ALONE..reasoning that she will jog after that (**me frowning**). Mind u people, it was 1++ in the morning...
So, i was about to send them off just until level 1, little did i know, i let myself be persuaded by the soon-to-be lawyer a.k.a yee mun to accompany both of them...
I enjoyed the night walk..correction..the early morning walk with her..haha..she is one funny girl....

Today is 18 July 2008, and the sun seemed to shine brighter than ever. I remembered reading an article from Time magazine just a few days ago about a man who celebrates the same birthday as I do,he is.. Nelson Mandela. (wow..this gal is trying to boast something here haha..)
The day was monotonous until late in the evening when my frens and i were to celebrate the same July babies birthdays..there were 5 of us.
As we reached suntec city, we were blindfolded and made our grandest ever parade in the mall, being led to some place where the real game shall begun. The journey was terribly long... it was long enough to make me think and realize something.
During the walk with my eyes blindfolded, i was literally scared that i was going to bump into just anything. I could not see a thing and in my mind, i pictured there were chairs, poles, woods and hard objects ready to hit me. Ci Ninin was beside me to lead and all the while she kept on saying there was nothing and keep walking. At times when there was barrier, she would remind me, when we were to take the escalators, she would stop me and guide me, when we were about to cross a small water fountain, she and other non-blindfolded frens were there to hold my hands and instructed me. Until we arrived at the right destination that our blindfolds were taken off.
It kinda made me think about my walk with God. Times and times, I couldn't see whats ahead of me, and i spent my time worrying, thinking about the scarry future if i happened to stumble at something, fearful of what life has to offer. Forgetting that He who walks beside me, sees everything and better, he controls everything. Even the Bible says, that all things shall turn out good for those who love Him. My next few walks were less scarry as i pondered upon it. My squeezing ci Ninin's hand got more relaxed.
Anyways, we were made to pick out 10 m&ms from a plate covered with flour using only our faces. Eugghh...snowman look in summer!!!
next task, is to drink a potion by miss Pris...the ingredients are (**drumroll please): herbal medicine + chilli + lemongrass+ lime juice= disgusting smell and taste.
Last task: we were to go to a place which was lit up by candles marking our initials and there were as many as 20 candles, in which we have to blow with each wish for each candle blown.....woooooowww... this is the year when i can make more than one wish during my bday... so grateful.
Lastly, the presentsssssssss....hmmm should have taken pic with it..i have a top, a belt, a choc bar and a jar filled with bday messages from my frenssssssssss........man..i so can feel the love...love..love.. and lastly, yen bin got me a gift too...didnt expect it yet, (he forgot to take off the priceeeeee!!!!) Haizzz...understood old man!! Still grateful though....
