I've always thought that my birthday month was one of the best times. Because there wasn't any exams or tests or holidays in school so i could celebrate it with my friends. But after coming to poly, i realised my birthday falls right smack in the middle of submission period.
This year, i've been so busy with school (which explains the lack of updates on this space.) that i actually forgot about my birthday. I was so caught up with submissions i don't even have enough sleep. All i could think of was the week starting from 20 July is going to be insane. It is hell week,
20/7 - Business Law presentation in the morning, filming test in the afternoon
21/7 - Entrepreneurship report submission
22/7 - Programming meeting (a module that i only started working on that week eek)
23/7 - Japanese e test and programming meeting
24/7 - Programming report submission and media market research meeting (another module report i juust started working on)
I didn't have space in my brain to think about my 19th. And honestly, i wasn't looking forward to it. 19 is an awkward age. Like 17. I'm legal enough to do whatever illegal things i've been doing in public, but not really thaat legal yet?
So on the 24th, Michelle asked me to meet her 10 minutes before lecture to show me a video we've been working on for programming. But when she was "late", i kinda found a cozy corner in the lecture room and went to sleep. Then Renu, Judith and Yash came into class with a box full of donuts singing the birthday song. :3 Michelle had told the whole programming group that she was done with the video just so she could get me to come to school earlier for this surprise. It was a sleepy surprise but i enjoyed it nontheless! I'm sorry we didn't get a photo guys! :( But gurlfriendz got me Too Faced's Melted Villain!! They've been throwing hints around but i was too caught up with school to even take note! Needless to say, i went home that day and wiped off the lipstick i was wearing (Nars' Charlotte) just so i could put Villain on.
And then in the night, i just started working on my MMR report when Kerwin dropped me a text, asking if he could come over because he needed to print something urgently. Of course i said yes. He was supposed to arrive at 12.15am but turned up slightly earlier. When i went to open the door and was about to invite him in, Haresh popped up beside him and they wished me happy birthday! They did the cliche whats-your-address-ah prank and turned up at my doorstep!! Then they asked if i wanted to go downstairs to talk and they'll wait for me at the lift. They passed me my present and told me not to show it to the parents but it's my favourite. They actually got me a bottle of Bacardi!!
Thanks guys! I honestly did not expect y'all to get me something! Plus y'all stayed in school until it was really late and y'all were sick! But thank you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed our drinking sesh. And the suppers after.
When we went downstairs, they walked me toward the benches and guess who i saw my babes!!!! They had been waiting downstairs and i thought that they conspired with the boys.
MORE DONUTS!!! The girls got me bombshell by VS which is my favourite scent from VS!! Thank you girls!! I was so touched last night i (almost) teared. I honestly can't believe y'all will come all the way here to surprise me even though y'all are busy (or even busier) with school. Thank you for loving me when i cannot love myself. And making time for me when i don't even have time for myself.
The girls stayed till 1am+ and sister came home just in time as they were leaving. Then i went back up to do my MMR report LOL. I watched a few episodes of AOT and slept at 4am.
I woke up at 12 in the afternoon and had a really sleepy, lazy afternoon. I woke up from my nap (yes, i went back to sleep at 1 lol.) because Asyu called me and told me to meet her for dinner. Then just as i got out of bed to get a drink from the kitchen, a delivery man came with a parcel addressed to me.
I was excited of course! I love receiving parcels even though they're not for me LOL. I started shaking the box but stopped when i saw the word "LITHIUM". I honestly thought it was a bomb. But it was really weird (yet cool at the same time) to have a mysterious parcel sent to me. :D I text the sister and asked if she bought anything from China but left it in my name. I didn't really care much about the box while waiting for her reply. When she called me, she asked me to open the box and i legit freaked out because it was.... A RED 32GB IPODTOUCH!!!! It even had an engraving on it! It was a quote by....wait for it....TOKIO HOTEL! The quote was lyrics from their song "Great Day". I almost burst into tears!
I watched more AOT and Hawaii 5-0 before leaving at 7pm to meet asyu at Plaza Sing. I really thought it'll just be the two of us because everyone was so caught up with school work. She made me walk around M&S with her and then suddenly the rest of the jags appeared! We went to Swensens for dinner where Jon was and they made me change into an outift they bought just for me! After our dinner they got me ice cream and i almost stuffed my face with it. :D

Thanks jags!!! Iris wasn't there last night because she had a competition. But i still enjoyed myself!! Thank you for the dinosaur card and really cute outfit! So blessed for friends that will make time specially for me :( (Also, Jon's DSLR tho. Look at the quality of the pictures!!)
I met Alphy for supper after at macs. And he got me an eyebrow pencil! Which was really apt because mine broke on Friday and i didn't have time to get a new one!! I didn't even tell him about it!!
2015 was honestly filled with so much failures and disappointments. I felt really shitty about myself. And battled with my inner demons for so long. I thought that this year was really bad and turning a year older didn't help. God has indeed blessed me with so many wonderful friends.
