168) Happy 17


I feel a bit guilty for not writing about my birthday celebrations on the two respective days but really i was quite sleepy. I even slept through 12am on the actual day which was something that i never thought i would. The first excitement ringing through that it's finally the "big day", that it's "my day" and how all the birthday wishes would begin flowing through non stop. But it is nice. Nice to know that people actually remember that you exist and that you actually mean something enough for them to make the effort to recognise that and wish you.

So, yesterday i spent the day with a couple of friends tied closely to my heart and it was lovely. I guess i could no longer contain the excitement in me for i woke up earlier than usual and when i did, i felt strained. Strained with anticipation.

I got dressed and ready quicker than usual and even left the house almost in a slurred kind of hurry and daze. Paced my way as calmly as i could through traffic junctions, uneven pathways and patches of almost dying grass till i found my way to Thai Express where two of my favourite and bestest of friends were seated in a corner with a cake and a lited candle on it and two paperbags which i assumed were gifts from them to me, aww.

I got sung the birthday song twice this year and i got to make the wishes twice this year. But birthday wishes are always made in a frenzy, finding something out of nothing to make a wish about. They ordered something from the waitress and under the dimly lit amber light of the restaurant, i thought both of them looked really pretty and i thought they were the best people ever. I'm even smiling to myself as i'm writing this out.

We talked while they ate their stuff and i stuffed myself with cake and more cake. And we talked and i didn't want it to end cause i wonder when we'll be able to do so again. They paid the bill and we went outside and took alot of photos till my camera's battery dropped to one bar, but it was fun and worth the while and i loved the moments.

After that, i met up with the others whom for the first time in my entire history of going out with them, were actually on time! That made me happy too because it meant something. And three quarters of the time, i remember myself laughing and smiling over anything and everything cause i really felt happy, genuinely happy.

And we tried to make our way to House Dempsey for an event but sadly the flea wasn't as "fun" as i supposed it should be. Extremely packed with people, i was smashed up against people's backs or faces half the time and i couldn't walk and breathe. Chewing on Jo's bubble gum only made it worse and i felt so exhausted after that, but i survived.When i finally squeezed my way out of the area, i couldn't thank god for anything more than making my way out of there and being alive.

Anyway, i didn't purchase anything from the flea. Nothing caught my eye apart from cute "english" guys which i self proclaimed, were extra birthday gifts for me. hehehe ^^

I realise my birthday post is getting really long so i'll just fast forward a whole lot and get to unravelling my presents. So, i wanna say thank you to all those who wished me through whatever means and also to the people who spent the day with me as well as to those who gave me presents. And, i had a terrible time trying to open a gift that had 17 layers of wrapping paper around it, but i suppose that was the best present i've received so far.

Thank you!
