Feel that I should write something on this day that I've reached suffrage. Guess the significance of the 21st birthday should be on the loved ones around the birthday person - for without them, the birthday person wouldn't be celebrating this special day of freedom embarkation. The birthday party should be a way of saying thanks to these people, a way to show one's gratitude.
Had all these great plans for my 21st birthday way before it was coming, to be the princess of the night, to have a makeover, especially when it lies on a Saturday. But alot of thoughts came into place, and made me decide not to have it. Well, different people have different views, different reasons, different concerns and different circumstances which lead to different outcomes. Hehz...
I'm sorry to those out there that I've hurt with my caustic remarks and my insensitivity. Please forgive me because those were never meant intentionally. And I do love every single one of you, which is why I've never minced my words nor disguise them since I didn't intend to create detrimental impact. But I'll definitely try to change for the better!
21 years old already, have to be responsible to every word and action. Once again, thank all those who made this day special - my primary school buddy for giving me my first present, JingyI and Chongchoon for the wonderful birthday (moon)cake, Grace for singing the birthday song along the Quad of UIUC at the other side of the earth (and andrew too!), my UK friends for spending the countdown with me, Chris and Des for the special cake at wee hours of the day, my nanyang friends for the wonderful time at NYDC (and the interesting present =P), my aunt for making my tiramisu birthday cake, my dear cousin siew yam for all that she had done for me, my dearest long-time friend Siewlian for her present and GIGANTIC card that arrived the day she left for UK, Ruihang for making his 'first overseas call' to wish me, Yingzheng for attempting to wish me at the exact time of birth, and every single person who remembered this special day (I know who you are). Not forgetting my dear auntie Gina and Lori, who had done sooooo much for me, every single day, and my dad and brother, who love me in their own ways and my mum, who suffered the most 21 years ago. This day should be her day, not mine, the presents should be for her, not me. Finally, Him, who blessed my life with so many wonderful people; who gave me the strength to love; who made me see a new meaning to life; who gave me hope and make my life more complete.
I wish that the world would see His grace and become a happier place from loving Him.
