For so long this year, I’m always involve in participating/organizing others birthday party that for a moment when it come to mine, I’m not sure how to react to it. Everything seems to be surreal and I’m just waiting for the time to pass so when 020805 come, then I will tell myself my position as a "King of a Day" has been dethroned and banished myself to life as a peasant. Likewise I kept reminding myself today is just another normal day and thus I should not expect too much from myself and others.

I am badly in need of rest and sleep after a whirlwind of activity for the past 2 days. I am in danger of losing my voice after throwing all caution to the wind and consume BBQ food even though I know my sore throat has not recovered. I am going to lose my temper because my mother kept nagging about stupid/funny stuffs which I don’t understand. Someone please make her stop talking. I don’t like to be tied down by any damn logistics/problems just because it is my birthday and so I opt for a 1) joint-event BBQ at TNB for my platoon. 2) a simple dinner at CCK area with my secondary school friends. 3) A joint-event seafood dinner at ECP with my poly friends. The primary purpose of giving dinner treats is to gather everyone together to eat and have fun. The rest don’t really matter in a sense.

What I really wish for my 21^st birthday.

1. A new good pairs of knees so I will not encounter any more uncomfortable sensation when standing too long during duty as well as hitting the ITTP gold timing mark for 2.4Km and pocket $200.

2. That public bus seat gets wider. You think Singaporean is still that small size compared 10-20 years ago. (For goodness sake, spare a thought for tall, big size people who have a damn fcuking time squeezing their legs together for journey from CCK to Orchard road.)

3. That my mother will leave me alone instead of nagging at me just because I’m the only one around at home.

4. That everyone around whom I know are fine.

5. That my family members stay healthy.

6. That my sister will be more discipline.

7. That I can dare to look into One True Love eyes instead of running away from her. (I come to that in another post)

8. That I will struck lottery and become a very rich guy so that I can buy a BMW 7 series and have ladies flocking to me instead of me chasing after them.

9. That everything will go on smoothly for next 1 year during my NSF.

10. Last But Not Least, I will like to have that someone to accompany for everything else before I really think being single is still the best (I can feel it already) and yet not comprising on my personal freedom (Yes, I like to have the cake and eat it too)
