I'm finally legal with a heart filled of gratitude.
So let's start with the 11th of January, Monday, where me & my DBE group mates were rushing to get our t-shirts done to get our creativity marks. So on that day, at social hub, nobody wanted to go with me & they asked me to go to the shirt shop alone. Obviously I didn't want to as I am a bad decision maker trust me, I don't like to make decisions myself. So in the end luckily, WeiHeng & Jazlyn decided to follow me. I also called Yanjie to ask whether he was free to accompany me but he lied to me saying he was out with his friend. I'll tell you why later on.
Then 12th of January, I had to collect the shirts as it was at Queensway & its nearest to me, so Yanjie accompanied me for this day & I was like making him feel guilty that he didn't accompany me the day before. But in the end I felt more guilty, I'll tell you why later too. So 12th of January that night, Chin Chia (I'm not used to calling you Billy) texted me. Well I think I've never mentioned him before but he was someone who made an impact on my life when I was younger. Its weird yet suprising I would say that our paths crossed again as good friends after like 4 years after we decided to go separate ways. Many people would be like asking, "how come?" but thank you Chin Chia for ensuring me that you'll always still me here till now for me whenever I need you. So he actually failed at his surprise, then he had no choice but to only text me to come down to meet him, My sister came down with me as it was already 9pm+? But he came down & passed me his present for me. We talked abit here & there. What surprised me was that, he had really matured a lot from the past. Usually, I would be the listening ear, but now he was a listening ear for me when I was complaining about this person to him. He slowly went through every single thing that I said to him. Thank you for doing so, but in the end i guess what I said came true instead of what you said!
So while we were talking, another friend called me asking me whether I could go to the MRT to meet him, I couldn't reveal who he is here as he told me he told his friends he couldn't make it for dinner to pass me this present. Hahaha. But you know who you are alright; thank you for coming over & passing me that super adorable present that would remind me of you whenever I sees it. Even though your handwritten letter was short, it was definitely very sincere. Again, I feel that I owe you an apology. I'm really sorry. But I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. :)
Then when the clock strikes 12am, 13th January, many people spammed my WhatsApp till it crashed that I couldn't open it. Chiew also called me on the spot. Therefore, I'm not really sure who was the first but, I opened what my mum posted on Facebook first so she was first! ;") Yanjie was a minute early from what I saw, but Chiew, Dearie, WeiHeng, Chin Chia, JiaWei, My Daddy, My Sister, My Brother, #FIMgang & my relatives back in Myanmar were like amongst the first few. There's more who send me like later too! So I was up late till 2am+ to reply thank you messages till I missed my first lesson of the day on that day.
So I only made it to school for my second lesson, it was pretty hilarious. I was on my way to school like any normal day, I swear I wasn't expecting anything from my #fimgang as we had tons of deadlines to meet & assignments to finish. I wouldn't mind spending it another day. But they surprised me outside our ITB lesson, & surprisingly our teacher allowed them, HAHAHA. With a video compilation of their wishes for me, Lion was inside, JingAn was inside, Yanjie & WeiHeng was also inside the video. It just touched me becos they actually went through the trouble to ask the others whom I was close to in poly to make that video. They also bought a tom&jerry cake & a balloon. Most importantly, they made a huge card for me & also printed out the screenshots of their wishes becos the night before, I said I want those screenshots as my birthday pressies. HAHAH. Thank you so much my #fimgang which consist of Clarissa, Pearlyn, Sheefa, Jazlyn and Alesha. It really meant a lot & I would never trade any celebration for that okay. We even shared the cake during our last lesson. Thank you DBA'03 too for singing the birthday song. :)
Afterwards we had our break, then Felicia, this is Felicia Chua not lion. HAHAHA. So she texted me asking me to meet her at the SB foyer. I wasn't suspicious at all as she only told me she wanted me to pass lion something. Then when I ran down, she dragged me to one corner. Then that was when I saw a huge crowd, it was my SBA family. I swear I wasn't expecting anything and didn't expect them to even celebrate it for me becos we also knew each other a few months back. There was Felicia Chua (the mastermind if I'm not wrong)Thank you girl for organizing it for me. :'-), Vivian, Gina, Sharleen, Josey, Yunn, Shihua, Kareena, Hong Zheng, Ethan, Minn, Weiqin, Kelden, Brandon, WeiQiang, David, Jason and Darius. (idk if i missed out any) They bought me a cake, a colourful soft rabbit toy and a balloon with "its a boy!" I think they couldn't find a happybirthday balloon. HAHAHA. But thank you all so much, I really appreciate it. I never expected y'all to skip lectures for this celebration. Hehe. I felt really loved hehe.
Then here comes the real surprise. So the next day I actually had presentation so me and my group mates intend to stay back and discuss on the presentation tomorrow. Turns out that we didn't have much to discuss therefore we were all allowed to go home. But becos my mum hinted me that there would be people coming up my house to decorate the house and surprise me, (no wonder my mum cleaned up the house the day before) HAHAHAHA. So on the way back to school, Marcus called me and asked me where i was saying he could go school with me as he need to go back to meet his friend. So i was like why not? Since its been really long ever since Marcus and me had a talk hehe. Then after awhile, Siehowe came over SP to find out more about courses. Then we chatted awhile then afterwards, Chiew, HongKeat, MelvinLee and Denny came over. I was like eh? I thought that they would be "sending me home" together and celebrate at home for me. I was actually really happy. But turns out it wasn't. HuiShan and HuiEn and Sean came over when i reached my house backgate then passed me the present and went off becos of some other reasons which i only knew at the end. I felt pretty down at that time becos i wanted them to be there with me to celebrate my 18th but thats not the point. They did make it up to me afterwards ;) So thats when the surprise "AMAZING RACE" started. I had to go around Queens to find clues and really, It was so much of PT in one day. I kept complaining. While i was searching, I saw Yanjie and WeiHeng there too. I was pretty shocked becos Yanjie told me he would only come over to find me after I have my family dinner. So the amazing race started off at around 5? They made me run up and down, taking the stairs and search every corner of Queens Condo to find out my last destination. I was pretty much tired out but i wasn't sure who was the mastermind.
Sendjaja also joined us while i was waiting for some delay time. So i asked Chiew who was the mastermind and who was involved. She told me that it was someone who loves me very much. The first person who came into my mind was my sister. Next was you. But i knew it would never happen. But she still didnt tell me who was the mastermind. Until i walked towards the tennis court, My sister and Nicholas appeared with a cake. I was just dumbfounded, I really went speechless and I just started tearing becos i was so touched. I didn't expect my sister to plan this for me with my friends. Turns out, the other day Yanjie "told" me he went out with his friend was when he, chiew, wh and melvinlee met up to plan this whole thing out. Thank you so much to every single one of you. I am just really very blessed I would say that i was able to have this extraordinary legal 18th celebration. If only My Dad, Sai and you and you was around. ): Afterwards i went to have family dinner with my family. My friends were never the planners but becos of me, they actually would plan this for me with my sister. I was just really thankful i guess that it actually showed that i meant something to them. Thank you for always being the reasons why i was able to survive any bad stormy days. I would never forget whatever happened this year.
Not forgetting, to my loveliest Lannister 2, for this jacket. To keep me warm during the cold lectures and classes! I really appreciate it and i am really glad to have known you guys through thronos camp. Even though we are all busy but i still hope that we would still be close and pls plan a meet up soon! hehehe.
UPDATE: Just before i wanted to post this, my two babies who is my dearie and chan actually came to surprise me downstairs. WHEN i wanted to post this, becos that dearie scared me making me think something happened to her, i ran down to find her instead found them holding 10 yellow balloons with a cake. :'') They said it was becos i haven't officially celebrate the birthday with them. Thank you so much my idiots. Next time please don't spend so much money! >:( It was already good enough that you guys still exist in my life. That's enough.
Again, I would like to end this post with saying that, I'm grateful for everyone who's a part of my 18th. Thank you to whoever wished me on whatever form of social media. It means a lot to me just by that. :') Thank you for putting in so much effort just for a celebration for me. I swear i'll never forget what happened this year. :')
