I feel so blessed... that it is beyond description.
This must be the first time I cried on my birthday.

May babies have usually been the ill-fated ones. The lucky ones suffer the fate of having post-birthday celebrations. The not-so-lucky ones suffer the fate of being forgotten. I must say I have been really lucky. I have been blessed with friends who remember. Although most of the celebrations have been post-birthday ones, they have been really good. There was the one with my primary school friends during my army days. That was memorable! And there was the one with the csc friends two years back (or was it three?). And last year's with the grad trip gang. And with the 4th mc at ubin - that was a surprise! I think I must count myself lucky to have had at least one memorable birthday celebration with each group of friends who matter.

This year my e4g7 aka hello family did it. the surprise was fun.! i got a bit worn out twds de end, trying to psycho myself tt laopa wasn't trying to do anything. who'd hv expected them to turn up at my doorstep.?! the fantabulous cake!!! and my geog hons friends. the cake was pure fun. and i love the present. i even feel guilty tt they spent so much on me. gosh. and my grad frens. foreign students. despite our differences, i'm glad we're a pretty close knitted bunch.

I am thankful for the pre-birthday celebrations. I know it probably won't happen again. I mean good things don't happen all the time right.? And I don't ask for more, really. I am cherishing every single good moment that has happened thus far. I'm honestly thankful for everything tt has happened. Argh. And I'm at a loss for words.

Life is good (discounting the thesis).
