My 18th Birthday Celebrations- Part 1 :)

My 18th birthday celebration is one I'll never forget. Besides giving me a great time, it also showed me some of the friends who were worth keeping & the ones I do not need in my life. Glad I could get rid of them now before they truly caused me trouble. But hey, that's life for you~

My big day has come, & for the first time I'm looking forward to it. Usually I would just want to hide away & pretend its not my birthday because I hate all the attention....guess I'm just not the type who likes getting attention, be it good or bad :P

A few days before the actual date (& for the first time ever), I was asking a few NS friends whether they were free to celebrate with me because I was hoping they'd be able to join as they weren't studying too far away. Too bad some of them had previous obligations so I wasn't too disappointed, & they meant it when they said they wish they could make it so all is well :D

On Friday itself my twin "sons" purposely came back from KL just to celebrate with me~ To tell you the truth, I was touched that they left KL straight after class to come celebrate with me, you can't get better friends than them <3

Besides that, they even bought me a cake as my birthday present!! That was the 1st surprise of the night~

My twin "sons"- J & D, and the birthday cake they bought for me~
Holy cream!! ><

Initially, S was suppose to pick them up. I can't remember how it was I ended up picking them up but I didn't mind anyway cuz I love them to bits!! I had to pick up Kitty Lim anyway XD

We had been waiting at Pizza Hut for awhile now waiting for S to arrive after picking up SS. I was busy chatting on the phone with my NS friend,Fei who couldn't make it. He'd already wished me 3 times that day & that phone call was the 4th.

While I was distracted with calling my "daughter" (PG), my late friends suddenly appeared out of nowhere and placed a big red box right under my nose! Imagine my shock to see such a big & beautifully wrapped gift! This was the second surprise of the night~ <3

The Big Red Present!! :D

After the celebration we took loads of pics and all the while I was wondering what did was in the big red box. My friends said that when I opened it once I was home I would be completely shocked, so that piqued my curiosity even more & I couldn't wait to open it......

We switched location to Tanjung, Muar & I called my "brother" to join us since he had just finished his tuition. He was gonna celebrate with me the next day.

This is one of the pictures we took at Tanjung. It isn't a complete group shot but its one I like a lot ^^

Camerawomen is Kitty Lim ;)

After Tanjung I headed back to S's house in Bakri. YS joined us and we chatted until quite late. I decided to open my Big Red Present & I sure got the surprise of my life!! Guess what was in it!!

RM25+ worth of Choclairs, M&Ms & 3 Ferrero Rochers

Third surprise of the day!! Definitely a shocker!! Wondering how long its gonna take for me to finish all of it XP

The celebration on the actual date of my birthday will probably be the most memorable celebration in my life. The fact that there was more celebrations after left me 'birthday high' for a week!!! <3

2012- Before College

This is pretty late seeing as half of 2012 has gone by but I don't see any reason about not posting what I first thought at the beginning of the year & how it has changed so far.

Then

2011 has come & gone so fast I can hardly remember all the details. Now that we've all graduated from secondary school, its time to grow up & take on the world head on by deciding our future careers. It is the time where friends have to part ways with each other & lead their own lives, where the chances of seeing each other again in college/university has been reduced greatly. Hopefully we'll be able to keep n touch & see each other often even though we have to lead separate lives now......I believe we can so here's to a great year for all of us, surviving in the great unknown they call: COLLEGE


A lot has happened since that day when we counted down at Tanjung, Muar..... 

1. Two days later I was shipped off to NS in Pahang (but that's a different story to tell). I missed out on a lot of things back home for the whole 3 months I was there, but it was definitely an unforgettable experience :) When I came back I felt completely out of sorts: missing everyone back in NS, busy organizing meet ups & hang outs with the rest of my friends who were still in Muar then, & counting down to the day we'd get our SPM results.....which was 4 days after we came back. "GREAT" =.=
2. I got 7As & I was pretty satisfied since I didn't really study~ That whole day literally passed by in a whirl, & I hardly remembered a thing. I just remember a strap on my sandals snapped off & I was only wearing it for the 3rd/4th time that day...
3. After that it was hang out after hang out & even more hang outs. My circle of friends was already big enough after NS, but it freaking exploded when I came back to Muar & I have no idea how. Its probably through new friends/NS being the common thing but yeah....my life was at an all time high~~~!!!!
4. There were also constant birthday celebrations. Near the end of May until the end of June there were birthdays after birthdays after birthdays.........I was broke by the time college started and even more so after Redang. OTL!! But hey, it was worth it~ I had the chance to make my friends' birthdays as memorable as possible, since you're only 18 once.
5. In between all the hang outs there were trips with friends:

• Going to Segamat to meet up with my NS friends
• Going to KL with my NS friends
• Heading to Melaka constantly for movies with old & new friends
• Going back to Segamat again but meeting up with a different group of friends from Labis

And the last trip before college: 

• Redang trip baby!!! All the corals may have died when we went but it was definitely a very memorable trip ^^ 

Time was drawing closer & closer to the day when I had to leave for KL because of college, but before that depressing day was my birthday. No idea if I should've been happy or sad :/
