my 21st birthday celebration was a blast! had a great lunch party with some close friends and family at 'Food For Thought', an amazing cafe/restaurant that offers an amazing range of food at great portions and affordable prices!
lunch was followed by karaoke at Party World in International Building with Manda, Fel, Dan and Kelly. dinner (uncle chee hua's amazing spaghetti vongole) and drinks (erdinger! wine! corona!) at Godma's place!
one of my favourite photos taken that day.
awesome birthday cake that Fel baked for me! layered sponge cake with chocolate fudge (with baileys if my taste buds didn't fail me), with a marshmallow fondant and pretty pretty painting done on the frosting! it has the 3 passions of my life: Music, Love and Photography!
my army buddies: Kangwei, Xinhao, with Lester and Yanhan missing!
Auntie Anne, Janice, Charis and Victor!
my beloved Auntie Jen and Uncle Ron! Missed you, Rae!
Godma, Uncle Chee Hua and Manda. Missed you too, Sam!
best of friends! :))
i wouldn't have made it this far without them - my family! :))
most importantly, i want to give thanks to the Lord for his love, faithfulness and salvation for 21 years of my life! i would be nothing, absolutely nothing without Him. <3

one hurdle down! well many more to go of course, in fact not too far away. think it's about time to start preparing for the final semester exams, but then again i haven't had much confidence for the tests and exams thus far. of course i thank God for His providence and that i've been doing okay thus far, but i think i really need to up the notch and buck up!
it's really bittersweet as saturday approaches. i half wish that time would slow down and that i can grow up just a tad slower. just a tad slower and it'd be great. time has been speeding by really quickly and i don't even know how to react sometimes. it's unbelievable how far i've come in life and saturday marks a significant milestone in life. the step that officially brings me into adulthood.
looking at those around me, albeit them being in an entire new phase of adulthood, life goes on as usual. one is not spared from the bustle and stress life likes to load us with and i guess the step into adulthood encompasses greater responsibilities. it's about time that i be responsible for myself, for my life and for what i do. to be perfectly honest, it's really daunting just thinking about it right now.
nonetheless, nobody can stop time from ticking and as i write this i'm edging nearer and nearer to my 21st birthday. i'm really thankful for all who've been a blessing to me, and i too want to thank those who've tripped me and made me fall; for without these trials and with life like a bed of roses, i would never be as tenacious and strong as i would like to be.
the Lord is faithful!

it's inexplicable why i'm experiencing this acute sense of empowerment. it's really rather odd but i guess i'm feeling good about hanging out with my dog-eared-and-scribbly-with-torn-pages-book of lyrics after such a long time.
it gives me this subtle though long-lost sense of satisfaction and pride despite the mere addition of a couple more lines. it is quite clear that i haven't been happy in a really long time huh.
