Bittersweet sixteen
To be honest, I've actually come to realise that birthdays mean nothing except for the fact that you're one year older.
And that should be a time for self-evaluation and contemplating, not a time for celebration. In fact, i think that should be the case for every year during your birthday.
(I still do appreciate what the people around me have done for me, nevertheless :] )
Well, looking back on my life, there have been real highs, and there have been real lows. I've done good things, and i've also made lots of mistakes. I've changed as a person, but for both better and worse.I suppose that's what adolescence does to you.
I'm not really going to have any new year resolutions, because i know from experience that they just lose their novelty and fade away.
I'm just going to have a new main motto in my life; besides doing good as much as i can (though many times, as a human being, i do make several mistakes), i'd like to live life to the fullest, as cliche as that sounds. I'd like to work hard in all aspects, and live up to what i CAN do, and i'm not going to leave any stone unturned.
Because besides disappointment, the other thing i hate to feel is regret.
I hope i keep this promise i made to myself. Writing it here in my blog gives me a sense of confirmation, as if i'm signing a treaty.
Anyway, yesterday my family couldn't celebrate my birthday with me because they are ALL overseas (-_-), so i went out bowling with bibs and tips instead.
We named ourselves Beeb, Bob and Bill. Guess who's who ^_^
Bibs and I were yelling, "CAN! CAN! CAN!" Hahahaha. (As in, can have a strike)
SOMEONE 'accidentally' had three strikes ("The ball terlepas from my hand and i was like, eh?)
HAHAHA.
Then it was already 5.30pm so we wanted to go back already, but i wanted to get a choker from the place beside where we had our prom, which was Peninsular Shopping Centre.
So i went in and chose one (The lady selling it was very cute), then i was about to pay whennnn
Tips: "It's okay, it's her birthday so we'll pay for her"
Me: O_O
HAHAHAHA.
Actually i could already sense something fishy.... XD
But thanks soooo much guys. That was very nice of you =D
Another reason why I dislike birthdays, by the way, is that i don't really like receiving gifts! I feel very... bad?
Yeah, i feel bad being at the receiving end. -_-
But like i said above, i reaaaaaaallllyyy appreciate it. :D
OH MY GOD
Is that bill on the left?? =O
*Hyperventilates, then calms down*
Oh man. It's like, when you usually wear a lot of make up and when you remove it, you'll look quite weird, you know?
Or maybe he just woke up from sleep.
Yeah.
-_-
So, as i was saying before i interrupted myself (-_-) ,
yeah then after the birthday surprise at the punk shop, we took the same MRT home. Had to wait for a second one as the first one was completely full.
Inside the MRT train, Bibs made a funny blinking gesture. I laughed. Tifa then made the az-face. I laughed again. Then i told them to combine the two.
I exploded. :)
There was an indian businessman-looking guy whom i thought was angry at me for making so much noise at first, but after a while tips pointed out that he was actually trying not to laugh.
This was confirmed particularly when i exploded again (Haha i was the only one making noise in the train XD) and he had to bury his face in his arm AHAHAHAH and i saw him vibrating.
Just laugh man! I'm not those bitchy types of people who give you the 'o_O excuse-me-you-don't-belong-in-our-clique-so-stop-laughing-at-our-jokes' kind of look! The more the merrier man!
But yeah, tips said he probably wanted to keep his reputation if he was a businessman.
Hahaha, aishah, i can't wait for you to come back to singapore so i can ask tifa to show that blinky az-face. New and improved version.

Had my IELTS exam on Saturday. I think i screwed up this section called Academic Reading, an equivalent of comprehension.
It had three passages and 40 mcq questions in ONE hour. How the heck was i supposed to do that? ):
And my parents and younger bro left for Australia on Sunday. I don't regret not going though, my grandmother told me my brother's dying of boredom there hahahaha.
Okay then, i should be leaving now. I have no idea why but i feel lethargic today.
