Chapter's Done

Celebrated Grandma's 76th (I think) birthday today! That's alot of candles on a cake that looks like a bowl of noodles. Should check out my cousin's blog, SiJia (in my links) for pictures of the day. For she never fails to post pictures on days like this one.

It's been probably about a month since it happened. I'm pretty sure I'm over it. It just that any mention of it gets me really flustered up emotionally. Guess that's part of the process huh. I'm just so surprised and bewildered at this whole thing. The same question of "how" still haunts my mind.

Wish all those memories I could destroy like a chapter taken out of a book and burnt to cinders. It'll never be a shining memory to me anymore. Dripping with bad bad aura it is.

Shouldn't talk about it anymore. IT'S JUST BAD. To anyone reading this, I hope you'll never bring it up to me unless I started it first alright? Thank you very much.

And haha it's true what they say. When there's a new direction, a new focus in life, it's that much easier to get over it and start your life again. Just praying it'll not turn out to be some false light.

ANYWAYS, I've decided that since I've an allowance for serving the country, I better put it to good use. I have decided to get presents for the people close to me on their birthdays. Haha it was a first time that I've given my grandma a birthday present. I know I know, what have I been doing all these 20 years right? Well here I am! Giving out presents now! Haha hope she likes it.

CHICKEN ESSENCE.

Who wouldn't want that? Kind of disappointed though just now at her place. After I passed it to her, she thanked me and then placed it gently on the floor. I hung around anxiously before going to bathe since I thought she might open it to see what I've given her. But to my dismay, she went back to playing mahjong.

...

Oh well... As long as she's happy on her birthday, I'm happy. Hahaha. She'll see it sooner or later I guess.

Sis's bf went over to France to visit her and my family. Wonder how's he coping there. Wonder how MY SISTER's coping. Lol. Just can't wait to join them again next year! Dang, if only I didn't have to server the army. What 2 years of fun I would be having! I'd definitely cherish it. When Dad got attached to the US, we were too young to know what was going on. Then he got attached to Australia, again we were in primary school, so still not old enough to cherish that once in a lifetime opportunity of living overseas. THEN now this is probably the last time Dad's going to get attached and I've to server? NONSENSE.

Envy my sister though... BETTER MAKE FULL USE OF IT JOY.

Birthday Catch-Up

MAN MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE IS SO STUFFY AND WARM.

I had sweat practically dripping down my armpits just now as I was taking a dump. Imagine that. That's why I never really like dumping at home. Never a pleasant experience.

Well was at my aunt's house yesterday. Gosh I think it was like a year since I've been to her place. Then they celebrated my birthday even though it was last week. Very nice of them! Even had a delicious birthday cake with presents! One thing strange though, there only ONE large candle on my cake. As in the large one to represent 10. There was only one of it. Haha should have asked one of the adults what was that for. So a song was sung and presents were presented to me.

At this point wanted to thank all my cousins:

Si Jia, Shan, Jeslyn & Rachel, THS, Sean & Darryl & THW (Can't remember if they contributed but oh well, their presence is enough!) Thanks for the COOKIES you guys made. It was GOOD. And all gone now. It still managed to feel like home despite my family not able to be around. So I'm glad that I'm still close to my other relatives. Always looking forward to seeing them every Saturday!

Hung out with Sarrah just now in town. Finally got outta the well and outta my shell! And I didn't know there were so many different places in town to chill out. Lol it was a night of many firsts.

First time I had Starbucks.
First time I actually paid for a Yogurt or had a Yogurt sort of drink.
First time hanging out so late in town.
First time hanging out so late in town with a member of the opposite sex.
First time buying a cake from Starbucks.
First time catching the last train home.

LOL. That's a lot of firsts. Thanks Sarrah!

HAHAHAHA. Feel like I'm a country bumpkin or something...


Ahhh oh well. That's alll folks. See you around some other time.

Happy 20th birthday to myself! Woo.

Wish I was with my family.
