i know i haven't been blogging recently but i've been slightly caught up these days. it's been an honestly fantastic week and i've been suprised by so many people that i'm starting to wonder if i'm awake or dreaming. but i've checked, 45 days to promos. I'm awake.....
so, my parents are taking this whole "i'm legal thing" very seriously. they are truely more excited about this as compared to me and it's rather funny yet comforting to know. we headed to InterContinental for dinner last sun for pre-celebrations w my grandparents and cousins too. i was needless to say super happy cause i haven't had a proper social life in awhile and good food plus great company is always top on my favourite's list.

| from everyone, with love. |
i had honestly thought that this would be a quiet year, with my closest friends all heading towards prelims and A's and my family all caught up with work and their own hectic lives. yet to my greatest surprise, all those around me all made an effort to prepare something and go all out their way to surprise me.
looking back on this past few days, i don't really know what to say. all that has been done for me just makes me feel so utterly blessed that i can't seem to find the right words to express this grateful feeling. in this one year where i took my birthday the least seriously, everyone else bothered and made an effort. i got a long text from my best friend back in pri school and another one from my childhood buddy of 15 years whom i haven't heard from in the longest time.
i know its so dramatic and emotional, but when i see and receive all these gestures and well wishes, especially from the people whom i care most about, i can't help but tear a little. i don't really understand why these people are so nice to me, or what i've ever done to deserve such amazing family or friends. needless to say, there has been a lot of tearing these few days (:
someone once said that i tend to say thank you too often. the thing is, i have alot in life to be thankful for, that's why i always say it. i truely do mean it.
but what i'm most grateful to these people about, is them never giving up on me. it is honestly hard that we're operating on such different levels due to the fact that i'm doing j1 again. but in spite of this, we are all still close and they make time to see me, have a meal or simply ask how i'm doing. they always encourage me to never give up, to keep smiling like i do, and they never forget to tell me that they'll be there when i need them.
this birthday has been amazing, touching and surprising.
i wouldn't trade anything in the world for the people i have with me now and with my dad's one liner wish to me: "我的女儿现在十八岁了,长大了." everything just kinda feels a little different. i guess i'm no longer a kid and it's up to me from here on.
so there's to the best birthday i've had up till now, a big thank you to everyone who wished me and celebrated with me (:
