I'm now 22 years old. Cant really believe it has come to the point where 2- will be a normality for me, until I embrace 3-. In the midst of my exams, so I really should be studying but the events of last night keeps playing on my mind. Birthdays have always been about a family dinner with the extra desserts for me in the past years. Yesterday was no different in that sense, but maybe it feels more memorable because of two reasons. 

First and foremost, all the genuine birthday wishes from my friends remind me of all the friendships I have made in the past year. Nothing lasts forever but the fact that some of my friends can call me up, or send me a lengthy birthday wish on facebook is something that suggests to me that maybe I am capable of making friends after all. (If you know me enough, I have always been the loner.) Let's hope that the friends I have made in the past year or so shall remain and I shall continue to make more genuine friends in the future. 

Secondly, I was able to enjoy the simple joys in life from spending time with the people who matters most to me. I know it is too new for me to say this, but having CC at my home with my family for dinner just made me feel that kind of contentment you can only feel from spending time with your loved ones. We had a YCS before that, not sure who planned the surprise, so I will just be thankful for ALL the committee members for being such thoughtful and nice people. But it really is the little thought that counts when it comes to birthdays. I didnt really need CC to buy me some pricey gift, but rather the fact that he slipped out during the session (with or without the other committee members) to get a cake was something that really touched me. 

That's all for now, hopefully I can focus on resuming my revision.
