19.

So I'm another year older. I feel like shaving my head. But not such a good idea. It won't keep me warm through my Euro trip in the freezing cold of December, would it? I'll be in London on Christmas and Venice on New Year's. I'm not sure where else but that's about all I know for now. I'm also going up to Genting next week for a short while, which is apparently for my birthday. I'm so psyched about going away. It's really just what I need and I'm so thankful for it.

My birthday was blissful, just like every birthday I ever had. My family really puts in a lot of effort in it and it gets more touching every year. It was a little emotional for me this year because I've been fighting with my father for the past couple of months and he put aside his pride and let go of our differences just to give me a wonderful, happy birthday. I really appreciate everything that they did for me. I got a French Connection all-black watch and an Anna Sui perfume from my siblings, some Crabtree & Evelyn skin care product and a Hypnosis dress from my parents, as well as some money. They're absolutely awesome presents but what topped it was what was written on the handmade card that they gave me and the thought put into my birthday that made it so beautiful.

Birthdays and all "special occasions" are just not a thing for Ghalid and I though, I guess. But I'm glad I got to share my birthday again this year with him. He barely had any money but still bought me a bun and a candle with whatever cents he had and I thought it was just so sweet and cute.

My work mates also celebrated my birthday which I thought was really cool. I was working that day and after work, they had me drink a Flaming Lamborghini. It was the shit - it didn't taste like alcohol at all and I felt really good and happy after. It's just really comforting to know that I have some really nice friends at work, considering I just started.

The birthday wishes I got through text and web made my day even more amazing. It was really nice to hear from everyone. I'm very thankful to all my friends who took the effort to wish me. It means a lot.

I may not be much of a birthday person but I'm really, really grateful to those who make it a big deal for me and went out of the way to make me feel special on that day.

With that said, I'm so excited for rock climbing tomorrow with Jarell. It's gonna be great but it's also gonna be in JURONG. I also love my job at Timbre. The TWO Foundation's new Speech & Drama intake is gonna be out very soon. My sister and I put up a temporary website, while the website on our own domain is being worked on, so you can check it out at http://theworldasone.org. The event that I did was alright but I just couldn't stand for some of the things. I've also decided to go ahead with FISAF except that I'm taking up the yoga instructor certification course instead of the personal trainer's. That's about all for quick updates. I'll see you guys soon ya. Have a great weekend.
