February 19..Happy Birthday Carmen~

Haha,yes I'm telling the world it's my birthday today.It was fun today,I had 3 different cakes today.Okay let's start from last night at 11:30...I was doing my literature assignment since 8.*sob sob*....Dr. Shalini wanted it to be 4 pages long and yes,it really killed all my brain cells to come up with it.

Suddenly....*tit tit* I got the first birthday wish from Melia and from this moment all the sms started flooding in. I had to delete old messages to make way for it!It was fun to receive them but I was sorta distracted and I end up finishing my assignment only at 12:30.Hahaha...just before that I saw Ivan still awake and not in bed yet so I asked him,more like ordered him to go to bed for school but then he replied me "No...I'm waiting for the clock to strike 12 so I can wish you happy birthday." Hahahaha...yes,I have the sweetest brother.

Wen Jo was the last to message at night or at least the last message I read before I fly off to slumber land.The rest that came in....was so late that I didn't bother till the next day.Sorry ya...Okay,woke up at 6 then I got ready for college.When I reached the entrance to the main building I saw a familiar figure standing there,Ying.She smiled at me as she saw me approaching,I looked at her,puzzled.She just wished me happy birthday and like an escort,she accompanied me to the student lounge.Hahaha...at first I thought she was waiting for someone else but,aw...she was waiting for me.

The day proceeded with a lot of birthday wishes from a lot of people which I was sure I didn't tell and I didn't even know them personally.Weird...I had double periods of Literature which was mortifying,Shonna and the rest was bullying me(I'll leave out the details here),then dear Kavita announced out loud,"Don't bully her!It's her birthday today,come on.."Everyone was like "OMG, Happy Birthday!"and Dr Shalini interrupted by saying, "Yes,yes..Happy Birthday,now can get back to Friel please?"

After the 2 mortifying hours (finally!) Lit finished.I walked to the lounge and I saw Ying and Krystal coming out for their Chem class and I was met by Wen Jo.She seemed extra peculiar and weird today.I sorta start to feel my theory of a surprise was not wrong.hmm...Wen Jo asked me to give her some comments on her dress borrowed from Cassandra.Then for the rest of our free period she was acting really weird.

By our break time,Ying came in and Jo went out..hmm...getting warmer!I was suspecting since a while ago (a really long while ago as in weeks ago) then Krystal came in and Yoong Jie has been like Jo sort of watching me.Then Lo and Behold!TADA!!!!!!!!!!My birthday cake came in, a big one.I was even more surprised I saw a lot of people coming in.WAH!Marcus came in with the cake and everyone was singing me a birthday song.I was totally blown away by that.

Philip was like my camera man,he kept snapping photos and taking videos though that didn't make people like Ying and Jo too happy cause they don't like taking pictures but they didn't mind,hahahaha...only for today,only for mua!so perasan..yes..I know.I got presents and a hand made card which is so precious!

Wen Jo gave me a drawing and she,Ying and Yoong Jie got me a hand bracelet,Ying gave me a very sweet and long letter(the most precious of all) and Marcus got me a necklace with a butterfly pendant.Hahahaha...I was showered with warmth and all of their love.I was like some princess.It was really memorable but the most random moment was still during IELTS,Ai Ching yelled my name out from her seat and I looked at her in response,guess what she did...she sang out loud..'Happy birthday to you..."then everyone else followed.The entire class sang and I was feeling overwhelmed and also shy.I'm utterly speechless at my college mates for being so sweet.

The entire day I was receiving all the messages and phone calls non-stop from my school mates who never forget that it was my special day.It was like a bit surreal to know so many celebrated my birthday with me and so many gave their best wishes to me.Overwhelming and just in awe.

After playing basketball,I went for a nice drink with Jo n Marcus.Then I went home as my mom and aunt has been calling and rushing me to get to their office quick as they have a Tiramisu waiting for me.I had cakes the entire day,my mom's employee all sung me a birthday song too and today was the first time I had such a birthday where I got not one but 3 cakes and I got so many people's wishes which was some what unfamiliar to me.

The entire day was full of laughter and packed with wonderful and memorable memories.Despite it was really a very happy day for me,I really and truly only wanted one thing..but not all wishes and dreams come true,rite.Hahaha....I'm greedy eh?I already got a great surprise and everything but some part of me felt it wasn't complete.I had really hoped that somehow it could happen but oh,well maybe next year then.For saying this I know it pains those who did so much today but I wanted to come clean with the truth.I had a blast but it just wasn't complete,it's no big deal,it's just a birthday only.

I can want all that I desire and I am grateful for everything that I do have and have received.It's priceless what you people did for me.Thank you so much!I'm very happy and just blessed.Yes,yes...I'm older already and yes I'm whatever you all said..happy?
Oh well...Happy Birthday Carmen.

I'm very glad that you had a blast on your 18th birthday :) and I am extremely sorry for not being able to make it with you. You have grown a lot since I last know you, you have certainly become a better person and as well as made me a better person too!! No longer the ooo soo annoying carmen. haha. you had become much more cheerful, know when to speak and when to shut up. Learned how to read faces and learned to let go. HAHA. not forgetting, became a Book Worm. haha. This journey we went through was miraculous. Wonderful. Although we are now on a different path way. Just cross ur fingers and pray "may out path meet again." (but I am sure it will) haha Be brave girl. You can do it.
