Day 74
Went for OSA Appreciation Dinner at the Ballroom of Sheraton Towers. The atmosphere was very good, with all good people around, and we saw a fantastic video made by our very talented LYen to commemorate the 16th MC.

Day 72 - Happy Birthday to Me...
ON To 22.....
Last night was a bizarre night. We went to Fish & Co. to celebrate my birthday. It was a late dinner, but I was moved that everyone who made it spared the time despite an incredulously hetic week of mid-term tests...("I'd wanted to 'fly' home to sleep")...*sheepish and grateful*
Afterwhich, we decided to go to Fort Canning!! For cake-cutting!!! At 10+ pm!!! Lol. We took the van up to the uppermost level, and had cake-cutting. What made it funnier was that nobody remembered to bring along a lighter, so I was 'blowing' out the candles. I'm sure the joggers there were intrigued to see a bunch of 'kids' celebrating with an Oreo cake out in the open like that, and asking them to take photos for us.
Nonetheless, I had a good time. I'm sure the mosquitoes at Fort Canning did too. It was a birthday to remember =) Thought a lot of effort was put in to choosing the gifts, THANKS PEOPLE!!! Love you guys!!! :-*
(I remember, ...I'm always very liberal with my 'kisses' on birthdays lol.)
21 Recollections.....
LIFE, believe, is not a dream
So dark as sages say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are transient all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
O why lament its fall?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life's sunny hours flit by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly!

My twenty-one years of journeying was not a smooth path, I don't expect anyone's to be easy, but those who know me really well would know mine is more scabrous than many. However, as I stood on the brink of 22, looking back, there was none of the expected melancholy. Instead, I was very glad.
If the years act to define you, why not say they empower you?
This year, I finally got so say there's nothing I really need. When my friends were thinking of what to get for me, they agreed that there was nothing I was in desparate need of. Isn't that a blessing?
While it's true that I'm still very busy (see my neck-breaking schedule), haha, I was glad that there were times in the previous year where I could slow down and find some peace with myself...
I was glad too that I met a lot more ppl this year. Before this, P & I were like the "Er Ren Shi Jie", but at Honours year, our "world" expanded....Lol. That's not forgetting the v supportive ppl I met through cca etc.
Once I thought that the "meaning" of life was sth very intangible? The freaks who coined that term or claim they know what it means probably have no idea what it means. But suddenly I felt that my 21st year was an extremely meaningful year? I can't explain nail the definition still, but there just isn't a better word for it as yet. Does that mean I'm growing up? =p=p 21st was a sweet year.
Feeling only anticipation for the new year.
