Twenty minus One
Here, I have a declaration to make - At the time of writing this, I am officially 19 years, 1 day and 13 hours old!
But for all my 19 years of age, I am totally embarrassed by how childish I acted yesterday.
Not childish-fun, but childish-bratty.
I procrastinated (again), had to pull an all-nighter just to finish my essays (submitted an hour before deadline!), and pissed everyone off for being pissed at everyone.
Sorry la everyone, I hadn't had much sleep lately.
So anyway!
I didn't even realize it was my birthday (really!), until I got the first SMS greeting at 11 p.m., because I was very pathetically glued at the computer, staring at the blank white of a Microsoft Word worksheet.
Still. I think with birthdays you get a bit of blessing, because Chooiyen was at her most prolific last night! Finished four $^&* essays in a single sitting!
As a result, was too tired to do anything else after that. I dropped my mom off in the morning, 'cause I thought I'd need the car for my appointment with Fui later, but I was in a daze on the road and was pretty much an accident waiting to happen.
I called Fui to cancel (and I think spoke in a very bad-mood sort of way), but eventually took the bus to Subang anyway.
I was surprised! By a buncha people coming in from behind with a cake and singing 'Happy Birthday'!
LOL was not expecting it at all, 'cause I thought I was just there to help Fui with something, and frankly up until I left my house I was still debating on whether I should just push it to another day.
And so, back to the apologies part. I'm so sorry for acting so whiny!
I was supposed to meet her at 2 p.m., ended up reaching there at 4, and I think I had such a storm on my face that Fui was worried I was mad at her.
LOL for the record, I think at that point I was mad at everything in the world, even the old lady on the bus who sat with her leg bent at the weirdest angle. Dunno, it just annoyed me.
Anyway, I found out people like ZiHui and Midge had been waiting since 2 p.m. Double the guilt!
You know, I was particularly touched because even I myself had somehow just let things go, kind of like, "My birthday today. So what. Don't care la. Very lazy to do anything."
So when I found out people cared enough to plan something, I was obviously surprised. And grateful!
Especially since the fact that it was my birthday was completely pushed out of my mind (because I was too tired by then), so much so that when they sang 'Happy Birthday' from behind I was actually confused, thought it was a different table celebrating.
I have to say though, EngFui, you are one heck of an actor! Haha!
You know, I had dinner with my family that night, and two other people were having their birthdays there!
Quick wrap. Thanks everyone who remembered! To that wonderful bunch of people (especially for staying on even though I kept wanting to cancel), and also to the text message-greeters!
LOL it is pretty funny, birthday text greetings, you realize?
When you're 17, everybody says it's a milestone, you can finally legally drive.
When you're 18, they say it's a milestone, you can finally go clubbing. (And I still remember one guy congratulated me 'cause I can finally "commit adultery". I don't think adultery is okay for any age? LOL.)
When you're 19, almost everyone tells you you've got "one year till 20".
It's like a trend or something.
So when you're 20 they'd tell you you've finally hit the big 2-0, and when you're 21 they tell you you can vote.
And by 22 no one knows what to say any more hahah.

On a completely different note.
My brother just gave a canoe tour (probably part of his campus job) to, guess who?
Prince of Terengganu! And His Royal family and bodyguards la.
I wonder how much the guy had to spend to get all of them to Hawaii. One-way plane ticket alone costs RM6000.
Anyway, my bro will be off on his 2-year missionary trip soon, and he'd finish his final year in university after that.
Seeing how things are, by the time he's done with his degree, I'd be probably halfway through mine. Which is a lot to say since the guy is 5 years older than me.
I feel like my intelligence level is decreasing by the day or something. That's what happens when you've got no school to go to, no university you've enrolled into yet.
No other friend of mine has such a long break.
Job? Too lazy.
Which again contributes to the degeneration of my brain.
I need something to stimulate my thinking cells!
