This may sound egoistical honestly, I'm not trying to brag here (or actually i might be bragging about how amazingly awesome my friends are lol) but yeah each year I always get really touched by how I've somehow managed to score the craziest and sweetest friends. :-) Truly such blessings.
Every birthday has been different but they're all still so special to me. Even though I've celebrated my birthday twith the addition with new people that came into my life this year- aka the crazy palmie kiddos Shona Philip Giselle and Braden, and Jodie that came all the way from Singapore. It still gives the same warm fuzzy feeling.
Didn't even want to celebrate anything this year, actually. Since wednesdays were my worst days of the week with the shittiest timetable, it was already such a downer to everything. So all I wanted was just a small dinner with my friends. Never would I have ever guessed I would be surprised 3 times today.
Thank you Jasmine, for coming over to college square, throwing away all sorts of image you might have, walking here in your sweats, hoodie and specs. Passing me the weird heart shaped like banana crepe you made wrapped up in cellophane (it was amazing, given the fact that you NEVER cook at all), and the 2 packets of seaweed that had to make do for your inability to cook seaweed soup for me, it's ok its the thought that counts. I still love you.
Another huge thanks to the Palmie kids, Shona Giselle Philip and Braden for also bracing the cold spring air at 12am, coming over holding 2 big containers with homemade dobukki and kimchi fried rice (c/o Shona and Giselle) ((ps it tasted BOMB)) Thank you to nette and tim for also coming down to celebrate my birthday. :-) Talked and ate till 4am, and I really couldn't think of a better way to kickstart my 18th birthday. Can't believe we've only known each other for 8 months and it's amazing to be able to find such crazy silly and funny friends like you guys in melbourne.
The third surprise was as unexpected as the first two, thanks to the mastermind of Jodie Poh Jing Fang. Thank you for planning everything, and involving my two crazy bitches Jasmine and Yin. Thank you for the wonderful pink sparkly unicorn as a home decor, the makeshift bread cake, the hello kitty gifts and all the pink balloons you guys blew up.
Also had my two neighbours next door knock on my door with a big box of brunetti's, filled with small cakes for me. Seriously didn't think they would know it was my birthday but HAIYO really guys pls. Huge thanks to Yunyi and Gerald. :'-)
Extremely grateful for you guys, and it was honestly really heartwarming to see all of you guys come together to celebrate my 18th because turning 18 really isn't all that much.
Every year, seemingly we get less and less birthday wishes- be it on twitter, on facebook etc etc. But what I've come to realise is that the ones that you really treasure are the ones that bother to remember, and bother to wish you. And yes, that means everyone that texted/whatsapped me THANK YOU.
Thank you Jamie Nicole Pam Ame Aralin Cassie for the wishes. I really miss you guys and I wish you guys were here. :-(
Anyway here marks the end of my HAPPY birthdays. By that I mean, from when I turn 19 onwards, it won't really be a happy event because I DONT WANNA TURN OLD ANYMORE. >:-( I'm done with turning old. Okay that's the end of my birthday rant. So thank you everybody for making my 18th so special. Touched la guys, I'm so touched ok. Again, don't know what I did to deserve you guys but I guess I got lucky. Thank you for being such blessings in my life. :-)
Cheers to turning 1 8.
