the magical day is over,
and i am one year older.

ok couldnt resist that. rhymes rock. (:
so many people to thank, where do i start? whatever it is, be it

Helen, tying multi-coloured balloons to my door, first thing i saw when i got back from work, wishing me happy birth-minute (5:37pm, in case you were wondering ;) ) and the most amazing presents ever, amongst which is a ticket to a musical in LONDON.

Meera, surprise birthday parcel connoisseur, (your decoy almost worked on me ;) ) ice-kachang!!!!!!!!!!!!!, for offering me the shoes of the world, for offering to commit felony on my behalf, and for wanting to tie me up for 10 years. (promise me you'd do the breaking in when you're here, you wont be recognised anyway and god knows the party in question deserves it.)

Tante Anneli, kick-ass new haircut, ich hab ein Hinterkopf! flat-head days are vorbei, heehee.

Mama & Papa, the once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree where anything is possible.

Xizhen & Lester & Zool & Yun, jodi picoult's newest, earrings holder (how organized am i now, armed with that!), the funniest smses, the sweetest card :D

and 4am smses from Indonesia, and 11pm calls from US, and birthday cards from Australia, and overwhelming amounts of studivz + facebooks msges,,, fine. enough with the bragging, heehee. though 3 parcels in 3 days is enough to make anyone bowled over with adoration, and there's honestly no thing more touching than a mailbox (and email and phone inbox) filled with loving wishes from far away, all from people who want to celebrate you, unhindered by oceans and time zones and holidays in exotic lands and forgetfulness (:

anyhowwww, turning 20 was a blast, thanks for making the leap from teenagehood into (what exactly, i dont know) so much cooler. i mean, what can possibly go wrong when one is armed with new coat/shoes/bag/clothes/haircut and much love? :D
