| i'm 20! |
Greetings from Munich! I'm having trouble with the german keyboard right now, so pardon me if I have serious grammar or language errors!
So. I'm now officially 20! Happy birthday to me!
A big thank you to those who sent me well wishes one way or another. I did manage to recieve all your messages and really, thanks alot for them! Made my day alot more special.
My 1st birthday abroad, and I don't think its going to be the last one abroad. Having your birthday while being lost/stuck/drowning in a foreign land can be a very exciting experience. Definitely worthed a try. It just feels different, especially when you try to kid yourself that you aren't the age you are supposed to be til you hit S'pore. Still, its a different experience - though you still feel the same, look the same, you just know that there's a subtle difference, a subtle awareness that you've aged by a year!
I am missing the comforts of home though, and the quiet birthdays spent with my family back home. My family and I would most probably have gone out for a nice quiet dinner. I'm used to quiet birthdays, but this year I had a hell of a noisy one. I just survived a crazy night at a Munich beerhall just now, where the atmosphere was most exhilarating and we had to each drink a huge pint of beer! It was maybe too exhilarating for my liking. Haha. But oh well, it was an action packed night, which was really quite an experience. Something I will never forget.
A big thank you to the 5 of them who are on this trip with me. They celebrated my birthday at 12 midnight last night, having bought me a tiramisu cake (we were still in Venice, Italy then) and singing birthday songs and stuff. I must say they really had me. I never did suspect that they actually bought a cake for me, I seriously thought that they were buying egg tarts instead of a tiramisu cake. I must say, I was somewhat touched. Haha. Thanks once again to Zhiyong, Shihui, Xiuzhen, David and Jinrong for a great birthday!
I must say, every single year on my birthday, I try to write or think of something melancholic to reflect upon, so much so that every year, I usually end up feeling quite morose or miserable about certain stuff. This year's different though, maybe its because I'm on holiday, I dunno, but I just don't have the same depressing feeling that I usually have on birthdays. Haha.
Maybe its me being cool with being 20. No longer a teen. Maybe its nonchalance. I dunno, but whatever it is, I'm cool with that. I had a great birthday and for once, I'm feeling happy on me birthday. =)
Shucks. I'll miss being a teen. Oh well. Time to grow up. Cheers!Labels: emo, festive, soul |
