A belated thanks to everyone who took the time to make my birthday a good one this year...

family - mom, who bought some nice earrings and cake. sisters who gave angpows. miguel who provided the laughter by eating a polystyrene decoration mistaken for white chocolate. heehee

boonie nut - for the lunch date, marshmallow cake and a fully illustrated roald dahl treasury book, triplets of green animal stickers and a striped zip purse. love you, sayang! (:

irene and gang - for the great dinner, time spent, some decorative pegs and yet another book to add to my collection.

theoretically, i should be a ripe old age of 72 since that's the amount of candles blown.

yappie - for the beautiful japanese origami paper. i've not used any yet heehee... sayang to use.

soo chin - a mooing handphone holder... the cow won't stop mooing la!

When I was six, I dreaded kindergarten because of the class bully.
When I was seven, I cried on the first day of primary school.
When I was ten, I didn't have many friends for reasons unknown.
When I was twelve, I hated school because my class teacher was a bully.
When I was thirteen, I look forward to a new beginning.
When I was fifteen, lessons and exams were a breeze.
When I was seventeen, SPM was the only thing on my mind.
When I was eighteen, I vowed to do better at college.
When I was twenty, I almost quit my final degree.
When I was twenty one, I finally reached adulthood - the coveted freedom, financial independence and with it came responsibilities that I wasn't ready to bear.

Today I am twenty three, tomorrow twenty four.

This in-between-period - a moment of reflection of the past twenty four years. Plenty has happened, more good than bad I reckon. But too boring for a memoir though. For all the times that I've worried, I came out better, tougher, and a believer in myself.
Just for the next few hours, I'll stop being a worry wart.
And will think about writing a memoir after all.
Happy Birthday to me. (:

p.s. Boon, haha you're not the first to wish me as you've planned!
