25 July 2005 marks the end of 17 years of life and the beginning of new phase of life. Finally, I'm 18. To me, this age signals the need to start to sort out my life - what do I hope to achieve, what do I want to become, where do I want to be, etc. As a new resolution, I promise to challenge myself to become a better person. I am challenging myself to be determined in pursuing success by sacrificing things that are not seem right to be in the top priority. I wish that gradually, but surely, I would become someone who can make my parents and grandparents proud; I would become someone who one day could hold his name with great repute. And also, I am going to learn to be happy all the time, feeling blessed with everything that I have, be satisfied with all the care and concern from those who loves and whom I love. With that, I would like to start a new beginning by saying sorry to anyone whom I consciously, or unconsciously, intentionally or unintentionally had hurt, wronged, accused, abused, neglected, annoyed, irritated, insulted, looked down, gossiped,....

23rd July 2005:
I celebrated my birthday in advance with Krystelle. We decided to go for the chocolate buffet at Fullerton. The chocolates were yummy and delicious. I was full to the maximum with the excess chocolate that I ate. Thank you Krystelle for the company. I know you have always been my close friend whom I can always count on, share my problem and happiness with. A friend who never tired of giving me wiseful advice, encouragement and inspiration. A friend who always believe in me. Thank you for the unconditional friendship that you have given me. And, also thank you for the blue pyjamas :)
24th July 2005:
It was at 11.50pm. I was doing my FMaths assignment when someone called me with no number. At first I couldn't recognise the voice. But soon I realise it was Adi calling from the US. How nice of him to call me and greet "Happy Birthday" to me in advance for he will be having school later on. So we chatted for about 50 minutes. He has been my close friend since secondary 1. A friend whose company I enjoy. A friend who I can always count on and share my problems with. Thank you so much, di. Miss yer.
25th July 2005:
It started with smses coming in to greet me "Happy Birthday".
In the morning, met Endi at Somerset station at 6.30. He met me just to pass me a present and to wish "Happy Birthday". Thank you so much Endi. You have always been a good friend who never fail to help me when I seek one, who never fail to encourage and inspire me. Thank you for the friendship that I have with you.
Then it was school time. Nothing special happened till after the last lesson. Xiang Rong had asked me to accompany him to the toilet, so I did. Then, when we were on the way going home, we passed the benches outside the General Office. And to my surprise (an unexpected one) I saw a small cake and a big wrapped present on one of the table, surrounded by familiar faces: my classmates. Though not all were there, but most were present. So they invited me to sit down, face the cake, and then they began singing "Happy Birthday" song. Then I ate the cake, then opened the present. It was a cushion 'marshmallow'. I'm so touched. Though the cake might be small, the meaning is deep to me. Really thank you to Celestina, Sze Teng, Eunice, Xiang Rong for planning all this, and the rest for the presence and the singing. It really means a lot. :)
At 6pm, met Carolin, Endi, Cicilia, Yan Ting and Elaine at Orchard MRT control station. We decided to eat at NYDC Heeren. However, the rain was so heavy that we cannot cross the road, that we end up eating at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Pao. Pei Wen joined us then. Well the food was generally okay. I was full. Yet, we still went to NYDC to have cakes, and we ate this whole cake named "Boo, Boo". The atmosphere was warm-hearting, the company was great. I felt a great sense of belonging, and happiness in knowing my friends. Thank you so much for taking time and celebrating my birthday with me, despite that some of you have tests tomorrow. Really thank you.
At home, when I was opening all my present, and trying on the pyjamas that Krystelle gave me, my guardian with her husband, son and daugther, plus Kak Minah, came into my room with a small cake and a candle while singing "Happy Birthday". I was totally touched. Again, though the cake is small, but the meaning is deep to me. Thank you so much.

As a whole, thank you so much to all my friends for making this 18th birthday one that I will never forget. Thank you for all the smses, greetings, present, companionship, presence, and thoughts. I really really appreciate them. Once again, thank you so much. May God Bless all of you!.
