i more day to the big 21.
reflections of my life

when i was 1, i had a birthday party and i didn't know anything about the life i was about to embark on.
when i was 2, i cried alot. i didn't know why. but i just did.
when i was 3, i still cried alot.
when i was 4, my mom bought me a toy car for my birthday. i treasured it so much and played with it so often that it finally dis-integrate on its own when i was 5. my lovely sister was born that year too.
when i was 5, i was the best kid in my kindergarten class. my teacher, ms teo, brought me out for meals and bought clothes and tons of candy for me.
when i was 6, i make my first good friend, a korean girl, park kyoung lee. i never forget the never ending 'i friend you, you don't friend her' situations we had in kindergarten 2.
when i was 7, i cut my hair short, i met tons of good friends, i scored 100 marks for all my math test except for once when i made a careless mistake. life was simple and good. on my first day of sch, i went to the field duing recess time and played. my mom was waiting for me at the canteen and was so angry with me for playing. i never went to the field again during recess.
when i was 8, i contributed $2.50 for my teacher's present. my friends and i thought she was leaving the school. actually, she was jus going away for maternity leave. $2.50 was alot then.
when i was 9, my chinese grades began to drop. i really didn't understand written chinese.
when i was 10, i had my first cold war with my mom. it lasted for 1 week.
when i was 11, i had my first crush on this guy called sherwin seow whom we used to call 'chicken backside'. it was fun time.
when i was 12, i had the second cold war with my mom. it was so bad my dad got involved. it was the first and last time i see him flare up. i took my PSLE and got into the school i wanted.
when i was 13, i met the most interesting bunch of people in my life. i never had so much fun taking tons of neoprints with char and jaslyn, forming close bonds with claud, lulu, lynn, mandy, bel, char, jaslyn, yiting, yanshan. friends for life. i must say. i also made friend with zongxuan, my pri sch mate whom i hated so much. life was so carefree.
when i was 14, i met the first guy who took my heart away. it was also the same year i got last in class. it was also the first time i ran off. imagine the trauma a 14 yr old girl had to face.
when i was 15, i had a demon tutor who made me do 30 essays in 1 week. it was pure madness. i also met my best friend, kieng. i sailed more. made more friends. had more heartbreaks.
when i was 16, i worked hard. i sailed hard. i played hard. i treasured the people around me. i had my time of my life. it was great.
when i was 17, i did well for Os and went to TJC. i made good friends like liting, wen yen, louisa and ting kuang. i enjoyed the monday to friday town sessions and nydc dinners. i enjoyed chjimes photo taking session with the girls later to get myself into trouble with authorities. i had my second love. it was short but sweet. but i'm glad for the way things turn out as well.
when i was 18, i repeated JC1. i hated TJC. it was a horrible experience repeating but at least i met friends who never fail to brighten up my life everyday. i met the love of my life as well. life was sweet and carefree like before. everything fell in place smoothly. a fantastic year indeeed.
when i was 19, stress piled up for A levels. I didn't have much time with my loved ones. it was a fast year.
when i was 20, i started work as a guest relations officer and learned alot. people always have hidden agenda. many are never truthful. many are never real. many are never satisfied. entering NUS was a bonus for me. i stayed in temasek hall and won a pageant. i made good friends whom never fail to make me smile with their jokes and games. it was a year full of fun, laughter, peace and joy. everything was so good.
1 day before 21. i'm writing this, recapping the most important events in my life. events which made me. events which kept me sane. events which made me think. events which made me love. events which made me cry and laugh. events which made me feel so lucky to be me.
i feel old. secondary school seems so far away. gelares session with val and kieng seems so long ago. staying back in tkgs painting banners and cheerleading sessions was priceless. meeting donovan again after 4 years of not seeing each other was special. going for mango sales, cabbing down for guess sales with liting seem so syndromic yet fun. everything seem so far away now all of sudden, so isolated, so different.


i'm gonna be 21. welcome to adulthood. where you're yourself for everything.

valuable lessons learnt over the past 21 years. so much so much.
i believe everything happen for a reason, and everything which happened will lead to something good eventually.
and i'm realoly thankful for every single person who came into my life and out. everyone.
i guess, i never regret a single moment in my life so far.


welcome the rest of my life.
