My family absent from my birthday celebration, I finally got the chance to celebrate with them this year. Even though it cost my tears to fight for the time, it was worth it. Because I got to eat a lot of home cooked food by my Mum and I got to eat red hard boil eggs that I used to eat every birthday. Winne brightened up the entire celebration more by rushing us to cut cake, singing bilingual birthday song for me with hugs and kisses, and writing me a card, which Eugene praised her for being the future novelist. Sigh, I say Eugene is highly bias. What do you think? (:
This is the first time I have my celebration together with the guys(but not full strength). If a decade of friendship has brought us this far, how much will a lifetime be? (: this thought thrills me muchly. Thank you to each and everyone of you who rushed down and made time to celebrate my birthday in advance, just to love me. We had our share of mixing food for Mark who never turn up. But woe is to me who ran away from the celebration. I promise, it will be the first and last time I ever do that.
Oh Genia, my Genia. Thanks for the Esprit wallet, the card that have touched my heart and the Oreo ice-cream cake you have gotten for me. I want to let you know that I love to see you around in school too. And that you can always count on your princess in your times of loneliness because she will be there to listen to you. Anytime, anyway, anywhere, always and forever. Remember, I was, and will conitnue to be part of your life too.
I am blessed to have know this group of friends that have touched my life in a way or another. Marc has especially strived to cross the barrier of N levels, to O levels, and have cut down on his vulgarities after sitting beside me. Peter and me talked more this year, and his effort of biking down to Chomp Chomp makes me feel love. Cheow Hong's "I can't go tomorrow to celebrate" did sadden me on Thursday, which I have actually cancelled the entire celebration. But he learnt about my sadness and made his way down to meet us, together with his upset stomach touched my heart. Don is my amusement; he never fails to give me the big grin whenever he sees me, and never fail to brighten up my life when days seems blue. Clarence; the guy who is born rich yet does not flaunt his wealth but treats almost everything that we ordered is something I'm in awed with. And yes, his one sentence of "yi ge yi ge lai pai" made all the girls happy - he doesn't take casual photos with people, especially girls. But I believe it was an exception for this day, right? As for the girls, my loved ones. They cracked their brain on Thursday by going down to Queensway to shop for my present, and had Friday planned out nicely was something I want to thank them for. Because they have made this celebration a very memorable one for me. With this, I want to say "devotees, I love you all!"
This group of girls touched me muchly because they came up with witty ideas TWO WEEKS AGO. :D Thanks to Shufen who happily fooled me that Veronica will be out with her friend, and that Valerie and Shuping will be having shepherding. Neo girls who callousedly not wishing me so that I will be very sad, right up to Saturday. And Shuping for telling me two times that she won't have time to celebrate for me. You guys really did surprised me with the birthday song - because at that moment I still didn't realize the song was meant for me until I turned my head to have see one bunch of dearies standing outside. I love the time spent with you all; the affirmation, the fun and laughters, and the confession we made about Puay. HAHA. And Puay, now we cannot live without you! :D Ron, thank you for the pot of roses that will make me be more careful, more conscious and more patience with lives that I am taking care of. As long as the sun rise, the roses will live. I will try my best not to let them die. (: oh yes, I think my cats will love me more with the cat food you have given to me to bless them. Haha. Val, thanks for the pair of Converse shoes you have gotten for me. Now that I don't have to take off my slippers to run up and down during duty anymore! As for Puay, I won't use that pouch to put ___ because it is such a waste. Lastly, I like the HUGE card you all have gotten for me. (: PS:: You made my dream come true. xD
NEBIANS! The candid celebration you all had for me shocked me for a moment. o.O I am blessed and encouraged to have the privilege to be in this unit, and I can never thank God enough for this. During the session of affirmation, I did not hear them simply with my ears, but with my heart. And they are locked in now. We all have little to spare, but I appreciate you all for that fact that you all saved up to get me things that I like, and would need it! xD
I have rebirth, reborn. And my name is now Jean. My dear God, I am in awed of how far in this race have I come by, that I have made a public declaration to commit my entire life into Yours now. As the ceremony goes on, flashes of images came in; of the times I was down, lost, hurt, sad and whatsnot, that You have picked me up again and again. You have been so gracious in my life, that I know not where to start. As I immerse myself in the water - that the old self to die and to live a new life in You, I can never thank You enough, Lord. You are simply beautiful. Too beautiful for words. My prayer is simple today: I want to be a clean vessel for You to use, to turn my self-leadership into Your-leadership, and to breathe in a life that is pleasing to You. Help me to love You more and more, and if at any time will I feel down, I'll remember 10th April 2005.
