This is what my Birthday can offer
Oh…sorry for the lateness in finally posting something, as
my tight schedule has been driving me crazy…but here’s a little peek on one
of my greatest event happened on the 27th, if you happened to know
that it was obviously my birthday!!!hehe
In my childhood years, birthday was the most important event
in my life that I always look forward to celebrate. In retrospect, I have
had many important events that had significant impacts in my lives, and it was
none other than this perfect ‘19th’ birthday bash that I gonna share
with you. It may seem to be rather odd or stuffy for me to be talking about a
birthday party but it was much more than that supposed to be.
27th February, 2008
This day was rather unpleasant as things aren’t just getting
straight on my way. I felt like I was a punk when things had really been stunk!
It was actually this day that I got back my calculus(always my greatest fear)
test paper and realized how silly I was to make so many mistakes, which
explained why I scored terribly in this test. I had always suffered from phobia
towards numbers and this had bothered me so much that I’m really getting sick
of it. Okay, get this out and switch the
point now. This was also a day that the rain was turning down hard and I got
myself drenched badly. Or maybe I should say that the RainGod was paying me a surprise
visit and that he was so intelligent to choose the perfectly right time to pour
his rain (AFTER OSSLT CLASS). Being downhearted, just imagine how depressed and
dejected I was when the rhythm of the rain seems to be composing a melody with
my crying needs to be happy in my birthday!!!
So it was half past eight at night and things began to be
slightly different when my buddies in my unit celebrated my birthday with me!!
Let bygones be bygones. To syu, sarah, shidah, yin yee, yi ning, thon lin,
reuben and the other two guys that were ‘invited’….hehe… Thanks
for the lovely birthday cake and your present that was to snap my ugly side
when I licked the sticky and pinky name label. Thank you guys as you made me
feel happy again. So, soon I received a call from our LAN group leader(name shall
be reserved to be unknown first) to attend a so-called “MALAYSIAN STUDIES
MEETING” at the condo foyer by ten. “All right, this is what my birthday can
offer,” so I said. Astonishingly, I received another call from the same guy,
being reprimanded badly, demanded to be at the foyer right at that moment. **Frankly,
guys, I was actually suspecting something which I maybe surprised by a birthday
bash from u all but I still keep it in a low profile as not to get embarrassed,
when things didn’t turn out of what I had expected. So, here I went down and I
found David(name to be mentioned now) and Darleena sitting discreetly at one
corner. And guess what, both of me and Darleena were standing there like
dumfounded, poor innocent child with pathetic doggy eyes. I was actually
contollling myself to laugh, as you see David, this is an utter madness of you
standing in front of the pool at the silent night, and scolding people in such
a senile way. Somehow, when I realized things didn’t turn out of what I
expected, I suggest I might need to confirm my belief that this is totally a
“MEETING."
Here’s the climax:
When hope was out of sight, I heard
footsteps approaching and I was indeed surprised by a bunch of my lovely
friends with the sing-along birthday song. The cake was brought in and i blew the candles, started with the cutting business amids claps. Perhaps you guys would think that this isn’t really a surprise as
I have suspected it earlier. Please don’t get me wrong, it was so touching in
the sense that I had never expected so many people would present and celebrated
with me. I saw exuberant happiness and glimmering lights on everybody’s faces. At once, the minister of sorrows was setting off right away with the intense
exhilaration surrounding me. So, this began my wonderful time when food was
served and everybody was enjoying tremendously. It was wonderful of more than I
could ever imagine. More than that, Darleena’s birthday is just a few days away
and I was glad to celebrate this party with her, not forgetting Serene and Reen
as well. “SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance.”
When I was asked to declare my wish
and feelings, it was really the most difficult task which I had to say something despite
holding my tears from rolling down. So up to this point, anyone who had come
across this post could imagine how this birthday bash had actually brighten up
my day and why it had seemed to be so special to me. This was supposed to be
the first birthday I celebrated outside my hometown, and what’s more, this was
also one of the coolest birthday parties which I had got. It appeared to be such
a magical event for me and I enjoyed it so much until I was rather dreaded to
end the party (HEHE). It just showed how much you guys cared about me as you
went through all the hassles(Drinks, Canadian Pizza, Blackforest, MPSJ utensils) to make this day special for me. Some of you even had quizzes, tests
or assignments that are due the next day, and you were still willing to spend
this sparking moment with me. Guys, you just don’t know how much this party
meant to me and how thankful I am to have celebrated this special day with you
all.
To extend my gratitude, special
thanks to David who had shown me how greatly preposterous you can be(Just joking) I knew you were the engineer of this whole party, whereby you had put in so
much effort to make this a success. You had transformed this bad day of mine
into a spectacular one. Thank you for being so thoughtful and kind enough to
organize this event. Also, thanks to Alyssa, the great emcee of the night, who
have entertained us with her sumptuous speech. And after the event, I was
eventually told that you guys had got prepared almost one hour before the
bash. Oh, what a touching scene and I wished I could have recorded it down. So
lastly, thanks to everyone (Alex, Alyssa, Constance, David, Darleena, Fa, Jo,
Jeanne, Kent, Lee Lung, Leong, Reen, Serene, Siti, Shu Ann, Wei Xin). It was
said that true friends are hard to find, (Who said so?I found you all!)difficult to leave (Nah..different province..but still we’re in Canada ) and
impossible to forget (not to forget till the rest of my lives). Though we met
by only chance, after all there is nothing on this earth more to be
prized than true friendship and I sincerely hoped that as we walk our path of
lives, our friendship will enhance us with a warmth felt in the heart.
Despite this party, I would also
like to express my thankfulness to everyone who had wished me on this day. Those wishes had actually bowled me over !! So, THANK YOU once again for making
this birthday as one of the most memorable one in my 19 years of odd existence.
True enough, it’s this moment that made life worth living by giving the last
few hours before the end of my birthday such a great momentum. It was this
happiness that made me encountered quite a sleepless night where everybody was fast
asleep, and I dug my head into the pillow, shedding tears of delight as never
before.
I shall end this by saying that it
is always true that
many people will walk in and out of our lives, but only
true friends will leave an indelible mark in your heart.
My friends, you shall remain forever near and true
in my heart.
