Happy Birthday to Jian Yong!! My classmate of 4 years, also sharing the same birthday as me. =D
It is not only Jian Yong who is spending the same birthday. Gabriel Liew of Sec 3/7 is also spending the same birthday. My goodness, that guy has been in the same school as me since nusery. He was SUCH a pain in the ass. Remembering him from my younger days, I remembered holding his hand when we were out having a kindergarden excursion. I also remembered him from some old photos showing us in kindergarden celebrating our birthday together. I was wearing an orange dress, looking like a carrot as I was quite a skinny baby. I also recall that when I was registering for my primary school at Bukit Batok Primary School(now Bukit Timah Primary School), he was also there. Hence, I spent my 10 years of education from nusery to collecting my PSLE results with him. Things with him during that period of time was not that bad. We would talk sometimes, and during our birthday, we would greet each other. I guess that birthday is what we have in common only. When I entered secondary school, I saw him again. I was like 'Oh my goodness, I guess we have a certain amount of Fate.' He gradually turned into this weirdo who will pull my hair sometimes when he sees me. He borrowed money from me once and never pay back. Now, we don't even talk. But anyway, Happy Birthday to you too Gabriel.
Early this morning, to be precise, at midnight, my phone started receiving birthday greetings. Real sweet of those who waited till that unearthly hour to wish me a Happy Birthday.
Special thanks to Caryn, Conan, Calvin, Nigel, Jian Yong, Vanessa, Erwin, Charline, Yuan Teck, Hao Quan, Steven, Gary, Kwan Zheng, Yin Guang, Jacinda, Edward, Zhi Kai, Alvin, Ken, Yu Fong and Alane. Thank you for making my day!
I love this poem that Kwan Zheng sent me. =) His poem never fails to put a grin on my face.
I wished upon a kiss without doubt.
Knowing she's gerat throughout.
So smile today for its your day,
dream a dream and make anew.
Caryn came to my house this afternoon with my birthday present. It was a big box of nitty gritty girly stuff. Pantyliners, a Enid Blyton story book, Disney Princess palsters, a pretty heart shaped box with a pair of earings and ring, CD, an expensive card, ang bao and many more! It was so fun opening that box.
Caryn burned a CD with 16 tracks specially for my sweet Sixteen.
The Birthday Song
Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be
Happy Birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've helped to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes
Happy Birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
Conan and Calvin joined us. Conan gave me a water bottle because I was complaining about my water bottle that was quite damaged. He gave me this Adidas water bottle that I also have, but in a lighter shade of pink. Kendra and Thea, Conan's kid sisters drew me a card. It was so cute!!!!!! Haha, I like Thea! :)
They later offered me some sandwiches. Being the trusting person that I am, I fell into their trap and I took a bit into thier special cat food sandwich. Damm. I was so swa ku.
My parents later drove us down to Century Square to have lunch at their organic cafe. Had loads of food, still quite full now.
Nigel met us there and we left for Bugis. Initially, we wanted to watch The Maid, but there were not enough time. So we just walked around and took neoprint as usual. We went to Bugis Street. Felt nostalgia when I was there. Only seemed like yesterday when I was there with him. Left Bugis in a bus later.

Thinking back these last 16 years. I have definately been through a lot. Cried a lot, knew more friends and definately matured and learned a lot. I am only 16, life is definately not going to be smooth sailing for me. Hopefully, with every heart break, every conflict and every problem that I solve, I will turn out to become a better person.
Love you all.
