Starlit Field Beyond the Flames

I FINALLY turned 18 today!! Thank you to everyone who wished me on the 25th or via SMS/Friendster/Facebook.

I have to admit, my birthday this year was a lot more memorable than last year's. My classmates and my band mates actually prepared something for me! Not on my actual birthday but still.

25th January 2008, Friday, was Shao Wei's birthday. Since my birthday landed on a Sunday, I thought no one will actually celebrate or even remember. Apparently, almost everyone in my class has Friendster so the birthday reminder thing reminded them a week before. I didn't know though. When I got to the tables at the back of the canteen, I saw 2 cakes. Here I thought someone else had the same birthday as Shao or something. I thought everyone was celebrating Shao's and "someone else's" birthday until Apple told me to come stand with Shao. I was seriously dumbfounded but realised that I was that "someone else". Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and then we blew out the candles. The funny thing is, Shao only had 2 big candles (20 years old) and I had like 1 big one and 8 other smaller candles (18 years old).

After the wishing and all, was the "take the candle holder out with your mouth" thing. My cake was supposed to be the jelly topping cake while Shao's was the whip cream chocolate cake. I knew that because of the jelly topping on my cake, none of the cake will get on my face. I was about to tell Shao to go first, when Fifi told to switch cakes!!... So I got the choco cake instead... When I was taking the thing out, Fifi smashed my face in the cake XD. Shao's face was smashed in the jelly cake too but his face was clean while mine was like white cream everywhere.

Cake fight came next. I think it all started with Fifi smashing the choco cake on Shao's face to make it even. It was chaos after that. Cakes flying, people creeping up behind people to smash cakes on their faces etc. Wish I had pictures to post up but my friends didn't send them to me yet.

So that was it for the celebration with my classmates part. Yes, I had to celebrate again with my band mates XD.

So after the boring band practice (yes, boring because not that many people actually turned up...), we rushed off to Mui Wen's secondary school to watch Liyana Lim perform. The performance overall was okay but the noisy people pissed me off XD. Haha so after the concert, we (Yvonne, Yi Zhen, Xian Hua, Mui Wen, Darren, Liyana, Darren's older sister and I) met at a MosBurger in some plaza. I think it was Tiong Bahru. Just when I was about to get something, Yvonne and Mui Wen suddenly went out and Yi Zhen and Liyana told me to accompany them to "shop" around. By the time we went back to Mos, there was another cake with the candles lit and all... So I had my 2nd birthday celebration at Mos with my Clarinet section. They gave me birthday gifts to me and all at like 11:30pm XD.

I'm grateful for having such kick-ass, caring, funny friends!! =D.

So, yeah. Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday and prepared a surprise party and all =D. I want to write more and all but I'm kinda outta time XD.

Once again, THANK YOU ALL!!!! =D

SHUT UP.
