12 years on, another rabbit year and so many things have changed.
Now I'm more mature (I hope), more grounded, and I can see that there is so much more to life than just PSLE. More expectations, more responsibilities and more decisions to make are some of the things that comes along with age, but I've also found more people who are here to share my ups and downs, learnt so many lessons in life that helped to make me a more wholesome person and found a faith that has brought peace and guidance to my life.
Long past the age of major birthday celebrations (ok, not THAT long, I just had my 21st couple of yrs ago :X), I'm just really glad to have spent my birthday this year having simple gatherings with my loved ones :)
CHAOS
As usual, it's Chaos' tradition to plan surprise birthdays for each other :) This year (finally!), the surprise for my bday is no longer at my hs!

Pops gave me a belated bday celebration because he had his exams on 1 March, the day aft my bday.
So we celebrated on the saturday aft my bday instead :)
And he brought me for a Spa at The Retreat :D Just what I need after a crazy mth of career fairs, late nights and writing of papers :))
I loved the whole experience! The service was awesome, they even took our blood pressure b4 the spa and told me that I have slight low blood pressure so if I feel giddy at the steam room, I sld go out and soak in the bath to cool down b4 gng back in again :)
The ambience and decor of the suite was so lovely I feel relaxed the moment I stepped in... And it made me forgot I was in Sg.
I was enjoying myself every single minute during that 3 hours worth of spa, bath and Swedish massage, I told pops that we have to do this at least twice a year :p
:) Feels so so so pampered :)
Aft the uber relaxing retreat, pops brought me to Dinner at a plc I've long been wanting to go :)
It reminds us of those Italian courtyards :)

And I thank God for all the blessings that He had showered upon me and the amazing people that He had placed around me. I thank Him for drawing close to me when I drift away, for not giving up on me, for not witholding his love from an imperfect person like me. I thank Him for watching over me, for guiding me, for listening to my tears when I cry and no words can express how I feel, for granting me peace that surpasses all understanding.
I thank God that He found me.
I hope that when He finds you, you will open up your heart to receive His amazing gift too :)
