my 21st birthday had finally come & now i am older by 1 year. on the actual day, we were having live firing on SAR21. everyone passed ofcouse & i did my own practice shot & it turn out not hard. SAR21 is a weapon easy to handle.
i took 21st August off & went to ck to see them train. i can see their improvement. they are still as friend & funny as always. really wished the days when me & yu went ck every friday for our training. every friday was our best day in every week.
saturday i went back to camp for the company & platoon photo taking. was actually quite silly to stay back until so late for it. went child hood friend's home for a birthday party. i was told it was some other uncle's birthday & i trust mine mom. i remember asking her if they are going to celebrate mine as well but she keep saying no one has that in mind.
upon reaching there everyone was really acting well. even my mom bought a wine over to act as a gift. the preparation & the hiding was well planned. in the end when they call for the cake cutting session, i was pulled in & it turn out to have my name on the cake after all. how could they ignore my 21st birthday.
was very happy & surprise & got alot of cake on my face & my shirt. lucky my mom managed to wash my shirt. was a really great day. that day was also Man utd VS Wigan. Man utd was playing so badly in the first half but they geared up in the second half & scored 5 goals. was a great match (from the second half onwards) to watch.
i forgot which date but yu, jinhao, yu's sis, yu's sis's friend & wei also bought a cake for me. we went to jurong SAFRA club to play the kids indoor playground. i remember going to that sort of playgrounds with my child hood friend when we were still young. that day we were standing outside & yet yu keep saying we shouldn't go in first. at first i didn't know what he was up to but a trip to the toilet, i saw yu's sis & her friend lightning up the candles. in the end it was as what i saw, a little cake but i am really thankful. we had a very fun day.
it had been a very long time i had cake for birthday. thought i don't mind not having one, but i am really thankful they took my birthday as an important issue. yu, huat, jq & dy even got me a hard disk which turns out to be very useful now that my laptop is running out of space.
thanks everyone again. thanks aunt chris for preparing that surprise party. thanks yu for that day of fun. thanks all my friends for the text messages. my mom said that once you reach 21, the years will carry on. very fast you will be 22, 23 & so on. guess we just have to treasure everyday. that's for now, bye
