我的生日！！

Yesterday marks the beginning of my 19 years of life. Throughout my life I have met many people, and I can really say that I'm very blessed with good friends. Friends who are sincere. Friends who are true to themselves and others. Friends who made an effort to be friends with me.

This year I decided to privatize my birth date on Facebook so people can't see when my birthday is. I just find that wishing someone "Happy Birthday" because you are reminded to by FB is not sincere enough. That's why I have stopped doing so for quite a while. It's not that I do not wish to wish them a Happy Birthday but I just feel that I would rather not be prompted by FB to send wishes to others.

First to wish me happy birthday was my dearest sister AKA "Hubby". She called me around 12am when I was still on the MRT on the way back home after NDP. I was really touched and would have continued to talk to her on the phone if not for my low battery.

Thank you very much my dearest sister. By now you should know that our relationship is a very special one, and that our bond has been built by tears and laughter, time and effort. Thank you very much for entering into my life! ♥ It's really fate that brought us together because I could have chosen a nearer secondary school but I did not. :) If I didn't get into Hua Yi, I wouldn't have met you, Si Xian, Jing Wen and Shi Ling. :) 

LOVE YA GIRLS! ♥♥

Second wish was from my sleepy mother~ She woke up when I entered her room and mumbled a "Happy Birthday to you" before going back to sleep again. x) 

Third was from Teck Wei, my 围棋师父. Thank you once again! We haven't met for long but it does seems like we have met for quite a long while. :) 

There are many more wishes from my friends and family but it will be kinda long to list them down xD Thanks everybody!

In the afternoon I got a surprise from my poly clique. It seems they always managed to catch me off-guard, when I'm in my most "auntie" style. ~ I cried because I was really surprised and touched by them. Told them not to come but they still did and they got me 9 cupcakes from Twelve Cupcakes!!

Someone managed to guess both correctly so it's possible to guess them correctly! :P 

From Emelia, Wen Rin, Hui Ying & Yeong Cheng

I cried again when I saw this.
This parrot was made by Emelia
and it really reminds me of Sunny,
who passed away last year.
I miss you Sunny. Fly free and we will always love you! ♥

In the evening, I had a mini celebration with a cake decorated by my second brother and his girlfriend, Stephanie Jie Jie.

Thank goodness they didn't buy any birthday cake because there's already a lot of cakes in our fridge. x.x

Before my day ended, I was asked by Si Xian to go read her blog. I did and I cried. Again. Sheesh! It's my birthday and I'm crying way too much haha! Thank you my "youngest daughter"~

Yes we should do a duet and yes let's stay single together!!! :D When you are able to go overseas without your parents we shall go some place to hike hike hike!! :DDD

Looking forward to this Saturday when you all will be coming to stayover at my house! We shall have some girls' time again, HTHT, gossip, and get silly!!!

LOVE YOU ALL MY FRIENDS!! MUAH MUAH MUAH! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ *Flying kisses all over* ;D

Cheers,
A happy 19 year old girl :) 

♥ My Beloved Concourse 2 ♥

I'm really glad to have decided to sign up for this year NDP. At first I couldn't volunteer for this year's NDP because I was still over at Liverpool for internship. But Heartware opened up the registration again when I came back to Singapore. Thanks to this, I managed to meet my beloved friends from concourse 2. ♥

We all started out as strangers. Still trying to match the names we have on the whatsapp group to the face of the person in real life. I know I didn't exactly try to mingle with you guys at first because it's pretty tiring to go through all the "Hi I'm XXX, what's your name?" etc. Still we managed to get closer while we were doing our duties. Working together really brings us closer to one another. :)

Still missing Shin (one of our group ldr), Sara, Nora & Joyce

This is the very first photo we took together. When we still didn't know how crazy we would get. We all look pretty innocent here don't you think? ;) 

When work starts, some of our pranks start to show themselves too! Most of the pranks are by Fred and Yana, the 99 babies. ~ 

Oh and since we were told not to take selfie when we are working, we decided to take many selfies before and after our duties. Not too bad~ We aren't breaking any rules here! :D 

There are a lot of photos but I decided to post only a few.

Combined Rehearsal 3:

NE show 1:

NE show 3 (deployed to Woodlands Primary School):

*Disclaimer* We didn't bully Fred! He himself chose to do this and we merely help him out. *snickers*

Preview:

Here Shin, our another leader, appeared! xD Still can't see Nora because she's always late ~

Actual Day:

Photobombed by this........ weird guy ... 

NORA in blue (second picture)
Yes Nora is a Chinese HAHA! 

We had many more crazy selfies, mostly by Fred and Yana again, because they are usually the ones with the monopod. But my phone do not have enough memory space so I had to delete quite a lot. ><

But I'm really glad for this bunch of monkeys and old "souls" for this wonderful volunteer experience. It's my second and best ever. :) Hope we will meet again for next year NDP and cheers to more outings in future!! :D
