My 20th Birthday





After a long rest during the semester break, I was all geared up, bruuumm... bruuumm... bruumm... ready to hit the road.. Having set new goals, determined to discard off bad habits, I started off the Jan 2011 semester great. But as time crawled along, more and more work load clung onto me, dragging me slow. It is because I have poor time management and I'm not temptation-proof. Bad habits like sleeping late and doing assignment only at last minute kept coming back. Soon after, I was back to normal, skipping classes, piling up all the assignments. And life goes on..

The night of 28th Feb was another usual night where you can usually find me fighting time for assignment and presentation. Out of sudden my message ringtone, the twinkle twinkle little start lullaby broke the tensed atmosphere and it was written there: "You have 7 missed calls.." They were all from my family members. My room has very poor line connection for both maxis and digi. Maybe my room is a little too high for the yellow digi man to follow me up. Hence they could not reach me through phone. So I left all works to return the call, and that was when I got my first 20th birthday wishes. I was so happy and homesick at that moment. It was such a wonderful breather admist of the hectic life. And here I attached a special thanks to all friends for your birthday wishes.

I got a surprise birthday song from all my fellow classmates of PCS after my presentation too, not forgetting a Smarties bar from my PCS lecturer as my birthday present. My PCS lecturer asked for my age and told me that I should have prepared to get married. Hahahaha. Later on, my friends drove us out for food-hunting in a nearby town. It was a long time since I had have a satisfying "zhu chao" meal. The next day, I had another surprise in UTP when my friends took out a birthday cake after the board meeting of an event for me and my other friend who was born one day after me.

For my 20th birthday wish, I had written it somewhere. Hope it comes true.
