18th on the 18th

Today is the 18th of December and I'm finally a 18 year old girl. How am I feeling now? I'm not sure. I guess I'm still feeling the same, just that my brain now lingers the thought saying: 'Hey girl, today is your birthday, shouldn't you be more excited?'


Aww. I guess birthdays are are just like any other normal days.


Anyway will be going out later with the 3 monkeys and Jiamin for lunch, dinner and 'photo shoot'. Told them to wear nicely for today. I will be dressing up nicely too, though I don't really feel like cause right now I am having a very lazy mood, just feel like slacking the whole day at home and rot. Maybe I tired myself too much during the shopping yesterday since it had been so long since I last shopped the whole day, so maybe my body is no longer as 'fit' for shopping as it used to be. Haha. Lame-mo.


Received quite a lot of happy birthday messages since last night. A few of them were from people I did not expected. Boy am I touched. => But, because of them, I could not sleep well last night either cause every time that I was about to fall asleep, my HP will ring and notify me the arrival of a new message. Geez, even now as I blogging, my HP is ringing. Can't help it, I think I'm famous. HAHA.


Thoughts of a girl whose 18th birthday happens to be today:


Life is no sailing breeze for any, but I'm glad that mine had not been one that is too difficult for me to handle. Ever since I entered my teens, I've learnt how to be more patient and understanding. Since I started praying, I had always been asking for these 2 things too. I'm very fortunate to have known God in my life and I'm very fortunate that he had blessed me with so many wonderful people.


Wisdom is another thing that I asked from God. Though I think he is not blessing me the wisdom in studies(my grades have not been improving), but I guess he is giving me the wisdom in other parts of my life.


Friends=very important part of my life. Though many people said that friends come and go, but still they play a very important part in my life. Real friends do not just come and go. They come, then stay and make a big impact in your life before they ever leave. Many said that in your life, there will only be one or two best or closed friend/s. But for me, I have so much more than that stated amount.


When I received a few birthday messages from people I did not expected, a indescribable feeling floated into my heart. I felt very touched and thought to myself: ' Hey you this idiotic girl. Look at these people who remembered your birthday and took the effort to send you greetings. What about you? Did you remember their birthdays and send them greetings? No right? Oh my. You should be feeling guilty.'


Yes, there was guilt in me. However, I believed that my friends will understand. Because how much you treasure a friendship is not measured by whether you remember each other birthdays or not. Its about the heart and feelings. I may have forgotten someone's birthday, but that does not mean that I do not care about that person. If any of my friends are feeling extremely down and needed an immediate listening ear, I will gladly offer mine.


Since this year, my relationship with my family has improved too. I'm now able to communicate better with them and now I really see the importance of them in my life. I used to think that friends are the only people I need, but it is not so, I need my family as well. Though my family is not as complete as other families, but I love all of them the same. In the past, I always thought that if only my family was rich, if only my family was this and that, but all those do not matter anymore. I'm happy with the ways things are now. I guess if my family was rich and all that an ideal family should be, I would not be the same person as I'm now.


I'm a happy girl. =>



When you realised that time is passing by so quickly, it goes to show that you're growing up.
