21 years

Happy 21st Birthday to me. :)

I'm an old woman now. Haha.

I'm supposed to be attempting to decipher cryptic readings for NM3224 tutorial later this week, but I have to get this over and done with, just to gain some proper closure.

I'm not a fan of crowds, so holding a birthday gathering for my extended family and some of my closest friends was a miracle, and the credit goes to my parents and Jack for being the super PRs and entertaining whoever I could not pay attention to. Major thanks to my 3 gurlies (and that one boyfriend) for braving the heatwave and staying on til late, despite my lack of attention towards them. Thanks to all the presents and birthday cash, and thanks for simply turning up.

Thanks to my late grandma for that important golden key to my life. I still love you, and I know you'll continue to love me until the day we meet up there. :)

Thanks to Jack, who returned home late, braved the strange looks, defeated that odd guy, and helped my parents a great deal in making my 21st birthday gathering so special.

Thanks to my Dad, who flew back that Saturday morning just to make sure everything's in running order, and to see his little girl grow up. Thanks to Mum (and Dad) for my birthday present, the buffet, the truckload of food, and helping out in every way they could. (And two more to Dad, who attempted to put out the small fire at the buffet table with his bare hands, and giving up his bottle of Kahlua to my ambitious ice cream-making stint.)



Thanks to everyone's SMSes, Facebook greetings, and every other way I could have been reached.


And you had to make me feel loved, yet again, and disregard yourself just to make me feel at the top of the world. Thanks for going out of the way, sleeping late and waking up early just to get my present to me on time, and then falling sick yourself.

I'm may be 21, old, rusty. But I'm still the girl whom you love, and will love you through all time.
