My 21st Birthday

Decided to blog! After about half a year of hiatus, I'm back! Yes... to blog!

On 26th December I had my 21st Birthday party. It was held at Aloha Changi Chalet D. I even created a website specially for it. http://www.geocities.com/dikun83/Birthday.htm yup! I was glad my family returned from various countries for the event: I actually returned about 7 days ago (on Friday midnight, 17 Dec) from China, Yunnan. I had been there for my Youth Expedition Project... we went to Feng Yu Village in Da Li. Yup. As for my mum & bro, they went to S korea for holidays and returned around 8 Dec. My Sis went cambodia for her YEP... returned recently too. As for my dad who worked for quite a while in Thailand, he flew back on 24 Dec I think. :) Yup... so my family all back for my birthday!

The place was near the beach and had a good sea breeze. I had planned quite a bit of decoration (but the tea lights were not lit up as the wind was too strong)... I was glad renjie, Dianliang, Meiju and Baoqin came down earlier... yup... not much I could ask them to help with but their pressence was really great support! My relatives were there early. The estimated number of guests at the end of the day was more than a hundred! Yes... a 百人宴. Yup... I really am very honoured so many people turned up.

Oh... for my friends... there were Lawrence,kiongseng,jenming & yuhchian among my juniors from TCHS String Orchestra... then for my HCJC String Ensemble there were Shengyong, Daniel, Jean & tzeching. yup. I was glad my HCJC 00S65 came too... & so did my three adorable juniors from 01S65 who are now in SMU... ha... as my seniors! I think the only problem was that I was too caught up in hosting different groups that I could not have enough time for any particular group. Yah... from SMU i got my YEP friends (yeh... Bless Yunnan 2004 guys)... and my SA camp mates... and some friends (Yinchao, fred...) & my UNSA committee friends too! :) Yeh! It was fun!

We played sparkles... had some BBQ & a buffet. Interestingly there was also the pyrotechnics & some fun stuff like that lah. At around 9pm I cut the cake & took photos. It was really quite chaotic but yet rather systematic as each group took photos. Yup... then eat cake and had some liquor... ha... a bit tipsy from the cups and cups of baileys and liquor lah... yup... but out of good fun.

The guests streamed out later. My SA camp mates were really nice in staying behind to accompany me... thank you girls! so did some YEP friends... yeh... especially thankful to renjie for staying and taking the photos. Ha... I'll upload the pictures when I get them yah? Anyway Cindy, Renjie, Meiju & I had quite a carefree chat along the beach at around 3am... ha... super romantic place but yah... "she" was not there though. I am really grateful to my friends who came for the party... for their support... and being there for me! :) Thank you guys!

Morning was dreamy as I slept around 4:30am and woke up around 7am to have a bath. Had breakfast with 3 of them & I sent them off. Ha... it was really nice & heartwarming to think of the pleasant people who stayed. :) Thanks!

After going Tampines Mall, while sending meiju & renjie to tampines, I went back to the chalet to rest... ha... slept a while before I prepared to rush out for another event.

At Le Meridian, Victor had his 21st Birthday dinner. Yup. the food was good & I think the guests enjoyed. :) I particularly liked the ice-cream. Yummy. I think I am having a bad stomach from the over-eating. Ha... nevertheless I really glad to have gone for the birthday dinner.

Went back to the chalet yesterday night & stayed over there and checked out today.

Oh yah... the "coining SMU" project presentation was held today. The fundraising team of the YEP came up with the proposal to tie in with the school moving. I'm hopeful the project would be a great one... ha... would be there to assist. :)

Tomorrow & the coming week I'll be resting, going out, practising my violin... ha... :) Adieu!

*a bit disappointed that I didn't eventually go thailand to meet Z... missing a friend*.
