I'm 21!Now I know why people start wondering why are 21st birthdays such a big hooha. Well, I'm asking myself that too. I think all the hassle of planning a SPECIAL 21, a meaningful 21, a SURPRISE 21 birthday takes A LOT OF TIME and planning. Nevertheless, I've been to great 21st birthdays, which are not the sort where you sit down and eat, grabbing food from a row of catered food in metal containers over a nice warm fire.
Don't get me wrong, there's absolutely nothing wrong with such birthdays. Just that it seems like everyone's just celebrating over food, and not celebrating over the birthday girl/boy. But, the good thing is that you'll see people you haven't seen in ages, and it'll be a good oppurtunity for a pri school, sec school or JC/Poly gathering. Maybe kindergarten too, if you remembered your little friends' numbers.
Stress to all the boyfriends who'll have to please their girlfriends during 21st birthdays. Well, it doesn't really help when you have more romantic/initiative guy friends who spend like 1 year (or it seems) planning for the girl's 21st birthday party, or even just spending the day together in a special way. Then you'll just wish that he'll pick up a thing or two. But no, well, I guess I got to be satisfied with who God provided me with. I am happy! =) But, sometimes I think he ought to take some lessons on how to be more romantic and sensitive! I think his birds get more attention than me! hehehe.
I have NO idea why I'm rambling off at 2.28am in the morning of July 4th. But, I do know that I loved all your company on the Sunday that just passed. Jon, Cheryl, Jon Chan, Em, Joel, Terence, Nick, Ivan, Corrie (who dropped by for 3 mins! =p), Sharon, Amelia, Stephie, Marnch, Daryl, TV, Mark Chai, thanks for making my 21st "surprise" party a great one. hehehe.

Dinner that can fit ALL on a long table. =)

Yummy food! Thank God the boyfriend and me have the same taste, so I guess he ordered food that he liked.

Lovely ladies!

The boyfriend/planner/photographer. Have to give him some credit. =)

What will I do without friends like you guys! I don't know! heheh.
