HAPPY 17TH

Today i am 17 years and 4 days old. Yes, 4 days ago, on 7th October, 7th day of the month, 7 the day of the week, i turned SEVENteen. Did you see what i did there? Heehee. Seven seven seven seven~~

Sweet seventeen huh? Well not much, didn't really celebrate but then it was a good day. Honestly i don't really understand why birthdays must be celebrated. To show that you have survived 17 years of life and painful reality? Well, okay. But i think most of all it should be a day to thank your mum. After all, for me, 17 years ago, a woman actually went into a life and death situation, she went into labour. She gave birth to a premature baby girl. She gave birth to me. Maybe you thing, its only labour. No big deal. Where got life and death situation? You are dead wrong. Would you like to try giving birth to a child? To a child you have been carrying and taking care of in your womb for 9 months??  I have not gone through pregnancy yet, but i know it is not easy. Its painful, its breath taking. Not in a good way. So yes, have you all thought about it. Here you are celebrating the fact that you were born  years ago. But did you remember who went through the pain years ago in order for you to come into this world and experience life? Maybe some of you think, i'd rather not be born. Life sucks. My mom should have just killed me. Why did she gave birth to me? To make me suffer? NO. No mom would ever want that for their child. In fact nobody knows that your life is going to suck. Life isn't all about the down, its also about the happy moments, about growing up, about the people you have met and lots more.

I may not have said this to her or anyone yet. But when i celebrate my next birthday. I would like to thank her. Without her, If she hadn't taken care of herself and me during her pregnancy, i wouldn't be born. If she didn't pull through labour, i wouldn't be alive. 

Ok, back to my seventeenth. A day before my birthday, while i was watching some animes in the afternoon, daddy called me from work and wished me an advanced Happy Birthday. So sweet. He told me he got work the next day and couldn't celebrate. But nevermind, my birthday isn't usually celebrated by family. Anyway i had already planned to go out with GR. Then later at around 9pm, syafiqah texted me an advance birthday wish. That girl :') Always being the first to wish me on my birthday. See, this is her. Been my SJ buddy for 4 years. I miss her.

We so kental last time  

And then my aunt wished on facebook with a video of the chipettes singing Happy birthday~~. How cute! She is the aunt i am closest with by the way. Oh and its still not 7th Ocotber yet. Its an advanced wish. Not long later, dearest Janice Zhuang texted me a birthday text. Janice Zhuang is the first friend i made in class when i get into Singapore Polytechnic. She is so adorable and strong and kind and sweet. I am really glad i met her. If not, i doubt i would fit in or have any good friends by now. 

I kept giving hints to GR to wish me too. But being a cuckoo, he just doesn't get it. At 0000, i receives a text from dearest baby Farhana. Before i read her text, GR texted me. Heehee. Ofcourse i read Farhana's first. I kept smiling when i read her birthday text. (I smiled at everyone's). She said a kitty dies everytime i do not share my problems with her. Like what? How is that possible? That do not make sense? But see, how screwed up my friends are? They are like the cutest kitties in the world.  Okay then i ready baby's text. He said he is sad he couldn't be the first to wish me. But he is the first to wish me on my birthday right right? Haha how adorable! Sorry to disappoint him, but he isn't the first. It was Farhana. Then him. Afterwards all the facebook wishes flooded in. 

The next day GR fetch me from home and we went to orchard. And i broke my virginity. HAHAHA! My cold stone creamery virgintiy. Yums Yums. I had "peanut butter cup perfection" and GR had "Germanchokolatekake" Its a real name ok.

 

Then we went to BUGIS. I wanted to had my fondue at swensens but were still much too full from the ice cream. So we walked around and went for a movie. We watch "the fierce wife final episode" It is actually a Taiwan drama. However they made the last episode into a movie. Yes of course i did watch the drama before. and it was a happy ending. :') It made me learn a thing or two about being in a relationship. We watched it at Bugis+. Did you know they had a cinema theatre there? Bet you didn't. Haha.

I got hungry before the movie start. But there wasn't enough time to go to swensen to eat cause the movie is gonna start in less than an hour. So we went to pastamania and grab a quick Lunchnner (lunch plus dinner?). 

My favourite Tom Yum Seafood

After the movie it was too late for me to get Swensen, it was almost time for me to head home. Should have gone to se=wensen earlier i guess. :( But oh well. We still had a little time for window shopping. And i forced GR to buy me a music box as a birthday present. It plays a short part of the song "my heart will go on" from titanic. Ofcourse there was harry potter and a few other songs. But WE chose this song. :)

As you can see, my boyfriend isn't at all romantic or sweet. He didn't plan a surprise for me even thought he knew how badly i wanted a surprise for my birthday. But okay la.... i will get over that. (I am not a spoilt brat, its just that nobody has ever surprised me before and it's be nice if that happens for once) Anyway, i guess i don't really need gifts or 100 over people to wish me a happy birthday. Cause having my loved ones entering and never leaving my life is already the best gift.  and having my lovely friends and family remembering my birthday and wishing me, that is enough. 

Oh wait, i forgot to mention mom bought me the vaseline soap i wanted for my birthday. She also bought me TWO deodorant. ( I think she thinks i am smelly D: ) I asked why she bought two. She said she only bought one. The other one is a perfume (body spray). So when i pointed it out to her... She said "Oh" with a totally innocent face and said " nvm, now you will never run out of deodorant. Thanks mum. Thanks. You are the cutest mum ever. Now i have three deodorant on my dressing table. Definitely wont run out of deodorant now. Heehee. Oh and now that my birthday is over, i think age is really catching up to me. Its starting to show on my face. I look old. Nooooo~~~!!!!!

Okay that is all for my birthday post. Hope everybody will have a great day ahead~~

My birthday OOTD
