Gosh, what to say? I’m already so old… how many years is that? A third of my life? Or maybe with luck, a quarter of my life gone? No, not gone. A quarter of life’s experience garnered, a quarter of the journey travelled, with 3/4’s left. So what am I facing? I hope that what lays before me is a field grass and yellow flowers, swaying slightly in a warm breeze, under the expanse of a clear blue sky.

I don’t want to travel the well-trodden path of all those before me. I don’t want to fly down the highway. I want to make my own path. I want to face challenges ahead of me, while also having the time to enjoy the flowers during the journey…

Caminante, no hay camino. Se hace camino para andar.

Hehe and of course I have to thank all those for their wonderful gifts!!!
My parents for the camera,
my aunt for the mp3 player… it was a delightful surprise,
my scgs sec 2 gang (val, zlave, shing, nala and midnight for the BBQ-that-was-not-to-be and their shower stuffs,
lina for the perfume and for always being there for me, even at the wee hours of the morning,
agnes for the deep blue pendant (that I will try to get matching earrings for!),
sundry cards from those abroad like Mich and Nico,
the baubly, shiny, sky blue earrings and kino vouchers from my cg and ex-cg (Reema, evil woman, prof yeo, errol and his chicken ;), rames, wenky, josh, hypoC and especially ahleong for his impeccable taste and absolute secrecy over the gift!),
the dilbert comic from sanz, who claims that it’s for anger management (it came in quite useful, and i managed to use it to diffuse my anger by reading it rather than hitting the person who angered me on the head with it! lolz),
the borders cash card from my bro,
the cutey frame that makes me 5 years younger and retainers (lolz…) from kok,
the wonderful and very refreshing dinner at indochine from my cousin and a history of western philosophy by betrand russel from my other cousin, and for introducing me to the special someone that night.

And last of not least, all these special, fantastic bunch of people who sent in their greetings at and around midnight that day! And a special mention to my mum and her wonderful vocals at 12 that night. lolz! To AG, sanz, paul, patrick, eugene, yvonne, michael and lina, muakz! heheh…
NB: I said around, cuz the kiasu sanz sent it in 2 min early, haha… sanz, yiling says u play cheat lah, so she wins! lolz…

Just want to say thanks to all of you for making my birthday an unforgettable one!
