21 birthday thanx!

Dear friends,

Within a blink of an eye and I'm now 21. Makes me feel old... ... Indeed, it's been a long time since my last birthday was celebrated. It was not just long ago that I celebrated that I could watch M18 movies in cinemas, and now, I have moved on to the next category in the list---R21.

So, what's so unique about this 21 birthday anyway? I don't really know, but my friends around me treat 21 as a sacred no. or should I say they feel that 21 is an adult age. Andre and Edwin treated me to dinner on Saturday and they also got me a present with a Hallmark greeting card!!! Woah! I mean I don't really expect them to get me so expensive things... In fact, I was only expecting them to maybe say pay for my dinner or so... ... In fact, it would be better if we went Dutch, cos' I was intending to treat them. My plan failed, but they got complimentry Starbucks coffee from me nonetheless... Woah! The Bossini jeans which they got me cost them $45 and together with my free dinner, I guessed it would have cost them about $35 per person if they split the bill... Actually, I feel kinda bad that they got me such expensive stuff with their hard earned presents!!! I mean, money doesn't really come easily, but they got me such stuff??? I don't know what to say! Speechless! But from here, I sincerely express my heartfelt thanx to them!

My sisters got me something too! One gave me a key chain, and the other a TV game. Well, honestly, I feel that a simple wish will be good enough and stuff, but they paid so much for the presents???!!! ARGH! Again, it just made me kinda feel bad cos' they spent so much... I mean I rather they write me a card or something! It's better that way! Nonetheless, thanx to you all!!!

Matthew made a long distance call from Brisbane, Australia just to wish me a happy birthday! I mean WOAH! It really feels alot different when friends whom I have not seen for years just sudden gives me a ring on my hp and wish me a happy birthday! Indeed, I appreciate his effort, time and money on this simple Birthday wish call. But I tried to end the talk fast as I didn't want him to spend too much money on his phonecall. Again, thanx Matthew! I appreciate that and sms me again when you are back in Singapore!!!! :)

Oh yeah, still have another appointment with YT this coming week. Think it's going to be a lunch appointment. Unsure though. But I hope she doesn't spend too much! Maybe a simple lunch will be fine or so... In fact, it would be better if someone can ask me out for some exercise or so, then it can somewhat motivate me to keep fit and also a chance to meet up as well.

Sheesh... Have not got any sign from MY that she is gg to call me or what. Does she even remember? ARGH, well... ... I guess it's better if she doesn't know: at least can ensure that she doesn't spend $ unnecessary. But an e-card isn't too much to ask is it??? Rarely see her online these days though...

Oh yeah, there were friends who also msg me on my hp wishing me all the best and many returns of the day. I appreciate that too. Thanx alot guys! That is good enough. I don't expect alot cos' we are all still working for money and I suppose that is the best they can give me. It's a surprise that some of them even knew my birthday. Regardless of how u pple find out, once again, THANKS!!!! :)
