Happy Birthday to Me....
I am now officially 21. My birthday came and went on Monday 26th April and it couldn't have been a more... NORMAL day. The day went something like this: I wake up, read a book, have lunch, go back to KR, clean the 7th floor pantry, lock up all the pantries, return the key to office, go home, have dinner, watch tv, sleep.
How spectacular eh.
To make up for it, Pukey and I were s'posed to watch Kill Bill Vol.2 at 11.45am the next day and have lunch with Sharon and Weihan. We both woke up at 11am. Hahahaha.. So we skipped the movie and just had lunch with Sharon and Weihan and roamed all over Orchard. Sharon unsuccessfully tried to make me spend more than the $18 I spent on the Terry Prachett book. Heh. It was a fun time. REALLY!!
It's just that, I kinda imagined that my 21st birthday would be something more y'know. Everyone else seems to be making such a big deal out of theirs. There wasn't even a cupcake in sight. I guess it couldn't be helped. The exams had just ended and I was busy moving out of hall and making sure people didn't put their things in the wrong pantry. Didn't really have time to organize any kind of party and now that it's over, there isn't really much point in organizing anything. Oh well. I guess in the end it's just another day. No point making a big deal out of it right?
But you know what really takes the cake? On Monday, after I came home from locking up the pantries, I find out from my mother that Uncle Bing, my grandpa's youngest brother, died in a scuba-diving accident earlier that day. Mum drove up to Johor on Tuesday to try and get a flight over to Kuching. I would've gone as well, only I had no idea when she was planning to go and she decided not to call me back home while I was out gallavanting in Orchard Road. I could just knock myself silly.
Imagine. My future birthdays will also be my Uncle Bing's death anniversary. How exciting.
