what if the time stops ticking at 11:49 PM
birthdays. they come once a year. some, once in four years. supposedly, special. a day girls/boys get gifts, a birthday cake, hugs and kisses, handshakes, greetings, and more gifts. i wasn't psyched about the whole birthday thing. i told kyl, i think it's an old age symptom.
but at twelve midnight on the 7th of August 2006. i was awoken by my brother. he played multiple YouTube Happy Birthday videos, non-stop. HA! the whole scenario was hilarious (: and thoughtful. at the same time, sms-es were coming in. for 40minutes, i was receiving and sending messages. (crap, my bill's going to shoot SKY HIGH) soon after, i fell asleep.
FAST FORWARD
in school, anna/sheri/miaohui had this plot. a plot which i knew was going on, but i played along for as long as it lasted. alas, i opened my pencil case. a small black book, personalised (: aww. okay, here's the part i start introducing the presents. haa.
a book, so black, so plain. made into something, so meaningful. filled with memoirs. handmade, with love (HAHA). okay. the contents are absolutely Private & Confidential, as they contain, certain stuff which are not to be revealed to other people. 20 years down the road, i'd take the book out, slap myself in the forehead and laugh my ass off (: -given to by anna/sheri/miaohui.
gifts from my beloved mother (the card), the two angbaos are from daddy dearest and the World's Greatest Grandmother. they all contain the same thing, you-know-what-la-hor :D hahaha. i love them, i love them ALL, wholeheartedly. yes, i do.
early in the morning, she comes to me, and hands me this pretty little bag. and that's what was inside. YUMMY (and fattening) chocolate. and a handwritten note to me. five years of friendship, and counting? (: -given to by kavidha.
funny, thou we're not like CLOSE friends or anything, he gave me this pack of GOLDEN chocolate (OMG! double fattening spree) i was pretty, stunned. and happy at the same time. -given to by yazid.
very VERY pretty sleek black packaging with sweet looking earrings. she says, "it's from me, myself and i" yup! it's from jialing. haha.
fast forward again
i reached home from the hectic school life of mine. tired and all, lying on the couch, watching telly. suddenly kyl & sher pops into my house. SURPRISE! hahaha. they bought six mini cakes! plus my other birthday cake from my family.
that's a whopping SEVEN number birthday cakes i have this year. tell me who has SEVEN cakes in one birthday. haha. lucky or what? O.o so kyl & sher stayed for dinner. we snapped TONNES of pictures. as if we were in some studio. haha. crapped around. and had FUN. i'm short of one picture. a present from my two darlings. apparently, i've put it in the washing machine (they got me two tees). tsktsk (:
here, i would like to thank each and EVERY one who wished me and for everything other thing else. THANK YOU!
