i'm seventeen. just like that.
whoah. it is really strange how the world seems to be moving so quickly, too quickly for us to stop and bask in and relish each single moment.
today, i received many many birthday well-wishes. among all of them, some were like the primary school friends whom i still keep in close contact with; some were sec2 besties whom i seldom get to meet up; some belonged to my current circle of friends; some came from even those im not particularly close with. but of course, there are some who probably forgot but i wouldnt blame them. i do sometimes forget people's birthday too.
THANK YOU ALL WHO WISHED ME. =)
it's an encouragement to know that they took the effort to spend an sms or drop a note on facebook.
i thank my classmates too for popping me with surprises. during the free bio period(ms azlina went for course & yea, she wished me too on facebook!), i plugged in my earphones while doing my bio MCQ worksheet. surprise #1 came. the whole class suddenly burst into singing the birthday song. and eunice and yiming came and put a strawberry-printed party hat on me and check(fyi, it's the bunny-like doll on my schoolbag.). surprise #2 came during the break. the two of them, again, appeared in front of me with 4 doughnuts and a cake. all were strawberry flavoured except for one choc one. haha.. finally, when i was eating my prata, surprise #3 came. yiming, or was it xinrui, presented me with the gift. a memo pad and 17 butterflies+1strawberry(origami!).
even tho the gifts weren't like big gifts or anything, but i really appreciate their thoughts. as the saying goes, its the thoughts that count. how true. nothing can worth more than the heart of giving.
just covered on 'sacrificial love' for mentoring with Ps Sok Hwee yesterday after school. it's important to have friends to be there for you. hence, i'm thankful to have found these lovely friends in my class. =)
and back to the point on the evanescence of time. it's slightly more than a month of school and then the J1 year would have ended. thus, i'll cherish every bit of the time with people around me since time never stops.
the next year ahead will definitely be tough and difficult but i will put my trust in God. =)
and yes, thank God for bringing me to this earth. i never regret living a life designed by the Almighty one. =D
