Last Saturday, yours truly turned.....24. *Gosh I feel old now :P*
So how exactly did I spend my birthday?
Well, on Friday night, as I was walking back home with my 2 housemates, they were chatting about how long it took me to take my shower. I admited that my showers could take up to half and hour at times (yes). Housemate Rachel then challenged me to time how long it actually takes for me to shower ( she would help me time that night) and to tell her when I was done.
Little did I know that it was just a cover story for something more important....
A few minutes before 12 midnight, my mum called me to wish me happy birthday. And as I was still on the phone with her, suddenly there was a knock on my bedroom door, and Rachel was calling for me to open it. Chong Bing is going back home, and he just wanted to say goodbye. Hmmm..... okay.....
And then, barely a minute later, yet another knock on my bedroom door.
And this time, as I opened it......I saw a whole group of batchmates standing right outside my bedroom door, with Edwina (was it?) holding a birthday cake. And they were singing the 'Happy birthday'' chorus.
I got the surprise of my life. Well, I admit that I did expect my 2 housemates to at least wish me happy birthday at midnight, but what I didn't expect was that they actually invited a whole group of friends/batchmates over to my place to celebrate!! It was so overwhelming, I almost felt like crying at that very moment.
I suddenly felt loved, a sentiment which I don't always feel. I realize that I am blessed to have such lovely friends and people around me.
Thank you so much Edwina, Lynn Xuan, Sarah Yuen, WeiLin, Hui Ling, Jian Min, Kwan, Chong Bing, Ru Fah, Ghi Waie, Suisse, and cousin Mervin for turning up, and making my day! :D And special thanks to my wonderful housemates Rachel and Fang Han for taking the trouble to organize all this! :D
(I forgot to bring my camera cable today, so will try to upload the photos tomorrow. Unfortunately, the group photo wasn't saved in my camera).
Saturday was a normal day, studying a bit for CVS- and having William come over at night to cook spaghetti for us.
Now that I am a getting a year older, I don't know what lies ahead for the upcoming year, but what I do know is that I want to be strong in my walk with the Lord, which has been....umm....kind of dwindling recently ( ever since the new sem began).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The entire Saturday, my mind was bugged by something else. You see, there has been some...problems arising in my City Harvest cell group. Ever since me, Rachel and Naomi missed so many sessions due to the fact that we went back to our hometowns for the long holidays, and because we were busy for the past week. And the cell group leader isn't happy with us at all. I really hope that we can sort this out, because.....I know that Jesus doesn't like divisions among his believers.
p.s. My PBL group finished all our PBL sessions yesterday!! Woohoo!! No more PBLs for the next couple of weeks!!
p.p.s Whoever read this, I trust you will keep it a secret ;)
