Memorable 18th birthday!

12 Oct!! My birthday!!

Thought i was gonna hv a quiet birthday tis year.. It's the 1st time over the past 17 years of my life tat i didn't celebrate wit my family,didn't go out n hv a great dinner together n didn't buy a cake for celebration, i feel like i kinda broke the tradition.. NO amount of crying-under-blanket is gonna cure tis nostalgic feeling of mine.. haha, i didn't cry of course, jz feeling a huge pang of sadness somewhere in my heart.

But i didn't hv a quiet b'day though, my friends actually threw my a surprise b'day party.. It's kinda funny actually,haha.. Tis is how it happens....

**As i came bak frm a pleasant dinner wit my niece to Juru, one of my hsemates told me she wanted to get ice-cream frm cafe as she was feeling down. She wans me to teman her, (n i happily thought she's adapting to my way of curing down-ness,haha) so i agreed to follow her..
It was almost midnite, the perfect time for ice-cream ( according to Sin Yee,hehe ), so me n a few more hsemates went down wit her to get ice-cream.

Rite b4 we reach the cafe, she received a cal, then wrapped her arms around me n told me she wanted to tell me sth, her problem tat made her so sad. I was,of course, more tat happy to listen to her.. So,the other hsemates went in the cafe 1st, to get their 'ice-cream', n she took me on a tour, walking n talking..Saying tat she called the guy she had liked for many years n planned to confess her feelings for him n in the end she didn't do it..sth like tat la..

Anyway,after tat she receive another phone cal n after tat, turned to me "Lets go get ice-cream!". So she steered me bak to the cafe..

I was kinda speechless when my friends started singing b'day song as i entered the cafe. I never thought they would do tis 4 me!! n my hsemates tat has disappeared all days were also there. After the singing (Mark even brought a guitar along!), it all goes on like how a b'day party should be, the making of wishes, cutting of cakes, smearing of cream n taking of pictures!! Hehe.. All in all, it was enjoyable. (oh,n the stories my hsemates came up wit? It was jz to distract me coz the ppl in the cafe couldn't find the lighter! Oh man.. haha.. ) **

The rest of the day was great!! I had so much fun,ice-cream n chocolate tat i tink i need to go on diet,soon.Haha..Princess for a day. No,i'm always a princess in my daddy's eyes.. =>

Really really thank God for all my friends here in Aimst n everything He has done for me. I tink i'm beginning to like tis initially uncomfortable zone tat God has placed me in. I pray tat i'll be able to draw closer to Him as the days passes by n get to know n love Him more n more, each day more than the last, i also pray tat He'll mould me into the person He wans me to be n help me as i start embracing adulthood n take responsibilities for my action.Now i'm legal,haha. (Tat's wat my friends keep telling me, perhaps i was illegal b4 tis?)

I AM THANKFUL. =)

Ps: I'm 18!! 18!!
