"True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice."
- Samuel Johnston





For the first time in my life,
i felt so blessed and contented, inside out.

i totally enjoyed myself last night with my girlfriend, family and a bunch of amazing friends !
Everyone is so crucial to the success or rather the quality of the celebration.
Laughter, Lame jokes and giggling filled the entire atmosphere.
Even the weather was so comfortable for us to BBQ.
Alice said that its her first time bbq-ing in sucha cooling weather.
Although this birthday party isn't very that spectacular or extravagant,
i could feel that everyone is enjoying themselves and having a good time.
I truly appreciate my friends who have made their way down here despite all the troubles of
finding their way here and taking off from their work.
i didnt expect that everyone that had came could stay till 5am ?
i guess the games were too interesting HAHAHAHA.
Hengyi and Bangye was so entertaining that my parents could even get along, pulling each other's legs.
Alvin had to go all the way to Farrer park to collect wines just for us, alone
Alice and Jake managed to drive from AMK to my place regardless of all the time/petrol wasted, finding the way
Lixue's parents was here too, her mom cooked chicken curry and also made mango pudding.
I felt so heartwarming, seeing both our moms getting busy together, chatting and gossiping about me.
Yongwen's mom had to prepare the fried glass noodles as soon as she arrive home from work,
i bet she didnt rest at all and i really felt that sincerity coming from her.
My parents and aunt was so helpful to have rushed here and there to help me with the groceries and transportation.
Yongwen, needless to say, will always be there helping without a word of complaint or but(s)
Elma was so damn busy helping out in the kitchen, cleaning and i felt happy seeing her able to join us over at the bbq.
Last but no least, Lixue, for being there for me, putting in all the effort in making this party a success.
I love the present that was single-handedly done by her.
I really love the strawberry/blueberry cheesecake.
Its my first time, eating a cake which is made just for me by my girlfriend .

The very touching and sensual part of this celebration was that,
i was able to see/feel the quality of friendship and sincerity in people.
To be honest, those friends that came over arent friends i knew for a decade or many years.
They are friends whom i knew / met from lixue and we could all get along well.
I was taken aback when they came with presents.
I've never expected my friends to get me presents( probably im used to present-less birthdays)
Even friends i knew longer or earlier than them, couldnt be bothered or even remember.
I really feel so contented having them around me to celebrate my 21st birthday.
I wanna thank them for being able to join me in the celebration, helping out in the bbq,
preparing presents and being sucha nice company around.
Quantity wasn't important to me, Quality is everything that matters.
I rather have a handful of heart2heart friends than to have a school of superficial people.
It is not about showing how ' Many ' friends you have or feeling proud that you are popular,
sometimes, the greatest things in life are things that cannot be seen but can be felt.

On our way back , after sending them home,
i told boh that this party couldnt get any better.

And all these made the 21 year old birthday boy, a happy boy.
