Happy Birthday to me Audrey Tan Li Jie yesterday. not gonna say that i'm finally 18 becuz i don't look forward to being 18 in the first place. soo anyway, my brother sang me my birthday song way early in the morning and i sang along as well, it sure brought the mood up, i went on to meet Su Yan Jie for breakfast, her treat, and went for a walk which we haven't done so in a looooooong time before having drinks then parting off again. as usual we turned to wave goodbye, somehow its gonna be the last right here in the neighbourhood cuz the girl's moving away. can't say i'm glad, i'm not glad btw! cuz the feeling of being far away is not a good one, but nevertheless one fact that is comforting is that we still stay in the same area of singapore. the northlanders. howdy ho. still, moving away and changes, shall take some time to adjust to it.
i spent my afternoon alone at home, listening to the 4th album, those songs that i haven't listened to. thought i would like to pore over old albums and looked at how my celebrations in the past were like, heh... but i didn't.. instead i fiddled with the camcorder, it won't budge!! laze around, pretty much like that.
headed out to meet He Wei and Yu Ling, mighty long since i've seen all three of us together. well i felt the old times came back, some of the stuffs we speak of, reached my heart, could not describe what it was all about, but a weird feeling comes, then a warm fuzzy one, later it was a comfy feeling. we just rattled on, hope there will be a next time soon. they gave me a present, i like it! thanks very much, to let you know the extent of how much i like the present, as soon as i got home, i used it already. righto!
it was pouring away when i was heading home, quite heavily in fact, one umbrella in hand the other on my bag, heeeeeh, my slippers were soaked throughout, pitter patter pitter patter, was walking through the rain for quite some time before finally deciding to head for shelter. one final celebration for the day, i thought to myself. as soon as i got settled at home, we started the celebration. this year's cake is special, it was ordered from a pastry chef that is a friend of my dad, happy birthday audrey, said the cake, i looked hard at it, thanks cakey. i sure would like to talk to the person that made this cake, what was his or her feelings. was it filled with love, happy thoughts of a fine birthday celebration...
i sank the knife into the cake, it was thick and what was that feeling, deep and packed. chocolate layers held together, finally feeling the air. i told them my thoughts, dear god, thanks for yesterday. and then i was harping on the thought that 18 is a huge number, and my dad told me no it isn't, it's not at all, yeah well compared to other greater numbers yeah.
i woke up this morning and realised, yeah, 18 isn't a huge number, my life's starting.
my sister gave me a present that i like absolutely so much, and the card she drew and coloured on her own was priceless, i looked long and hard at the card, oh my, i loveeeeeee you sista! oh and the present is a stringed braclet which i have to complete it on my own, heeeeh, the meaning is profound and perhaps only understood between us. thank you. pictures are with my brother! ask me how come the pictures are always anywhere else but with me, cuz my phone won't connect.
before the 12mn comes, i was accompanied with some messages from friends, well what more can i ask for this birthday this year. the numbers don't matter, the love is huge, from God, from family, from friends.
pictures i took from blogs around, namely, jason, lina, sinnee, say hello! happy birthday signboard was the one i mentioned days ago, HB drey, halfway done and all the others, the scattering of rainbow, chocolate bits around. hmmm the ice-cream looks messy eh, but it tasted great, esp yam! hahahah should take us dodging around, that was real funny! well, we'll have more to come! also, Happy Birthday yesterday too, to Shiraz, who has a lot in common with me.
