22nd Birthday!
feels like I've just aged 5 years
Firstly, I want to thank my dear friends for a super advanced birthday present (which I received a month ago)
GoPro Hero 4 Silver!
Minni, Shannen, Nitro, Qi Jin, Milly, Leon, Zhi Ying, Lian Cheng, Jun Ming, Jin Han, Wen Jie (I'm sorry guys if anyone of you were "forced" hahaha), Brenda, Gina, Jie Ying, Winson, Jasmine, Cheuk Yiu, Yan Ling, Wei Jie and hopefully I didn't miss out any!
And, everyone who wished me through instagram, facebook and whatsapp!
Sorry I haven't been sociable ever since don't-know-when, as I personally would prefer to keep close friends closer, rather than being a social butterfly.

If you feel neglected by me, or we have been close previously, let me know how can I make up to you *hugs*
Not forgetting my family who are 9659.5 miles away, thank you for keeping me in your prayers everyday! And, my mom who likes to send me pictures of me, telling me how much she misses me :*

Many asked why I didn't throw a big 21st party last year.. 70% reason being I'm socially awkward, 30% I didn't want to disappoint myself if the party didn't go well.
If it's my party, I shouldn't be awkward right? Since everyone invited are my friends.. (True that)
Or rather, I didn't want to end up just hanging with my closest friends and neglect anyone at the party. I know how awkward it is especially at someone else's party. So, nope!
In fact, I love small celebrations individually or in groups. A simple dinner or meet up will do just fine.
This year, it was different. I knew it the moment I decided to come UK.
But who knows
...

My dear friends decided to throw me a surprise party during our trip to Bangkok.
--
I was directed to a dark room, and they started singing the birthday song...
There were balloons, decorations, and a big birthday cake.
I was stunned.
I was socially awkward, fidgeting and speechless for a good 10 minutes.
Inside me was like "O.M.G. What am I supposed to do next? What do you want me to say!"
I was quiet, but I wasn't disappointed by the surprise guys!
(Don't worry, 我是有被感动到!)
Minni who initiated this surprise party, getting the rest involved and preparing games (which didn't happen cause we were all too tired hahahaha)
Mave who liaised with the hotel boss for the booking of a room, dinner menu and all!
Dex who knows I love Haagen Dazs, and decided to get me a 1kg HD ice cream cake worth $100 sgd. (So thankful for my manager to be my friend HAHAHA, yes the cake is on him)
QiJin, Nana, Jon, Shan and Milly who kept it a secret (though someone almost spilled the beans, oh Milly bean hehe)
