21st Birthday

I am finally 21. Nothing special about it, though. Just a normal day, and I think just a little pathetic because the entire day I was thinking about my marketing and media writing classes, and how I am going to get up today for the Complementary Medicine lecture.

Gene asked me, very solemnly, my thoughts about being 21, with its onset of adult responsibilities and abandonment of childhood, and I told him that that had already taken place yonks ago.

If anything, I'm just really glad that I no longer have to sneak into R21 movies. :D

Although I didn't have any elaborated celebrations for the major 21, I had a great time nonetheless, and there's no other time when I appreciate my friends more. My university friends threw a surprise thing for me in the school canteen. Just a trick to get me to the arts canteen, a song, and a cake, but it's all I needed, really. The people are the most important, and I couldn't thank them enough for making time to celebrate my birthday with me.

I was just sorry that I had to rush, because I already had plans to lunch with the sisterhood around the same time, so I cut the cake, ha la and take photos before I hurriedly trotted over to the Business canteen.

Did I mention that Euphie gave me mango puddings, my favourite mango puddings? It was great. Thank you, gal!

After class, which was near 8pm, we went to Thai Express to makan. The food at the Tiong Bahru branch, for some reason, didn't taste as good as before. The calamari were nice, but the stick noodles in braised chicken soup that I had was substandard. Ate only half of it, but I was really full anyway. Then we ha la until the shop was about to close and we went off. As you can see, it was a simple dinner, nothing too special, but I'll say there's nothing that beats spending the special day with people who are as special. Aw, doesn't that just make you want to weep in collective aw-ness? ^__^

Now that I have had about 3 separate celebrations with different people (yes, 3, I am popular!), there's just 1 more left, and that's the family. My family celebrates the lunar birthday, and that's still some time away. Still one more excuse to get the mango cake. Whee!
