21.

Today, I turned 21.

Welcome to adulthood, young (or not-so-young) lady. lol.

Will add more to this post later on. (:

Thank you each and every one of you who wished me,celebrated with/for me, took the time and effort to bless me, even with the simple gestures, it puts a BIG smile on my face and reminds me how blessed I am. God is so good. (:

Edit: 12 days ago I turned 21. However, I am only starting to edit this post due to holiday plans, work, and pure procastination. lol. So I am now officially an adult. With great freedom comes great responsibilities? Lol. Anyway, this year, I’m simply glad and thankful i got to celebrate it with people who matter and not to mention,a couple of times too. Compared to last year’s celebration, in which it was slightly miserable thanks to the stress and cheap labour I had to endure while doing my internship. But amazing friends saved the day for me and made what could have been a totally miserable day to a not-so-miserable day (:

This year, i’m SO glad i did not have to celebrate under similiar circumstances lol. Pics are all up at Facebook.

The first round of celebration was at Fullhouse with my precious AAM-ers.

The second round was a whole day out with the girls at 1U followed by dinner at Ikea. (:

Third round was lunch at Sushi Zanmai, Pyramid + Starbucks + 2012. To further add to that, a very pleasant birthday surprise by a dear friend whom i didn’t expect to be there (:

The fourth round was on the day after the actual day itself. A dinner by Mom at Victoria Station together with relatives. Thanks Mom (:

(Pics are in dad’s camera. Will add later. This was in the toilet so put this first lah HAH.)

And a final round was a mini celebration at Acts’ Homes in which Michelle surprised me with a piece of Choc Indulgence along with a Happy Birthday song and prayer from the rest of the Homies. I was touched and blessed by that simple yet thoughtful gesture.

Dad and relatives gave big,fat angpaos and my brother surprised me with a brand new iPod Nano along with an uber cute necklace and bracelet from his gf lol.

In these celebrations, I planned to bless these people, thinking that God has given me so much, this is my chance to share His blessings with these people who have loved and given me so much. Instead, I was the one who got blessed at the end of the day. Besides the gifts, free lunches and movie, dinner, etc..It was the time spent with these people that mattered most. It was knowing that despite the sacrifices of time,money,effort that had to be made, they made it out of a generous and giving heart simply to make my day a special one. And that fact reminds me how good He is to have placed such people in my life.

I guess i can finally say i am growing up and learning more, slowly by surely. For in the past, i was distracted by the petty things but i can now truly say that its the people and memories that are most precious. And  to be reminded that i’m alive and well. And i have another day to live, another day to experience His love. Thank You for all You’ve done. For all the years You have seen and sustained me through. For You gave me a purpose, and a reason to celebrate. and because of You, I can face tomorrow!
