Man, I haven’t updated at all since… hrm. Well, I shall bestow the magic of birthday celebrations and Skyfire 21 then~
For starters, I was mostly in a state of detachment for my birthday… kinda like my soul was sorta hanging above me and floating like a balloon xD No thanks to the fact that I had stayed up until 3am that very morning, trying to finish off a very important-yet-utterly-detestable economics assignment. Sigh. (I did finish it, but had a few hassles with the computer deciding that my hard work was in fact, corrupt.)
So upon arriving at school, I was vaguely aware of the fact that it was my own birthday, but what that meant to me at the time was basically, it’s a date on the calendar. And ‘oh man, that eco assignment sucked, but hey, I have to hand it in’; and ‘OH-NO-ASSESSABLE-PIANO-PERFORMANCE-I-HAVEN’T-PRACTICED-ENOUGH’. And so were the thoughts of the very silly birthday girl. So by the time I had gotten those thoughts out of my head, it was recess, and having not eaten breakfast, I was rather prepared to eat. But then, of course, was the oh so exciting-yet-inconvenient explosion of birthday wishes, presents and flying/glomping little asian girls. I enjoyed that immensely cuz my soul came back down to absorb all the love~ ;) Ah, that was a very fun 15 minutes ^^ And the love – oh gosh, I didn’t expect all the love I got~ >w< uwaaahhh! I didn’t realize how useful facebook was until then ;) haha
That aside, the highlight of the day was definitely the precious 3hrs spent with a very special person. (Plus the fact I then had the luxury to eat and sleep xD) I felt so thoroughly spoilt and so very lucky. That was definitely a day that I won’t ever forget… as the gifts are, really, special memories in material form. Thank you guys. So so much.
*blissful sigh*

Then Skyfire – oh boy, next time, I so call we chill on the family friendly side. For one, we won’t get walked over every 5 minutes, and getting leg space won’t be an issue.
Ironically, despite the fact that it was
someone’s birthday, she didn’t turn up due to
schoolwork. And so the other two of us celebrating a birthday in March were left to feel kind of like we were riding on someone else’s special day. =_=" Nonetheless, it was still a rather nice day. I’d forgotten how beautiful and big fireworks could be, and the fact that the night was spent with my beloved and friends definitely made it that much more amazing. Each firework was literally spread across the sky, and fell in such a way that you could almost reach out and grab a star. It was then that being a year older, and a year closer to being an adult, that that feeling of independence began to sink in. I know I have so much more to learn and mature, yet looking back, I’ve made significant progress to get here too. Seeing other people around me grow up as well definitely made an impact too. It’s quite scary, when you look back and see what you’ve left behind. I mean, just hearing mum become all nostalgic about you when you were a baby, that’s enough. Looking at that baby, and realizing that that’s
you… well, it’s obvious, I suppose, but just that reality really hitting home makes you think. But as scary as it is, I know that I’ve also gained so much more, and every little thing makes me so much more grateful.
So in conclusion… xD I just hope that I can retain this precious happiness, and if not, I hope that I have the strength to fight for it.
