Babe For Life

Attended Valerie and Valenssa 21st birthday party this afternoon. The twins looks pretty and happy today. First time seeing them dressing in dresses, because they are always in gym attire whenever I see them. Their mum, whom insisted us calling her '大姐', instead of Auntie, was so funny. Think we always make her laugh, so she likes to join in our conversation now and then. Happy Birthday!!! Valerie and Valenssa!!! Big Girls already, must be guai har.

I started to recall my 21st birthday. Haha... Yaya, that was really many years ago. If I managed to find my photos, I think I will be laughing hard at myself for sure. I can still remember I wore a white top and grey stripes pants. Don't visualise ok, not good fashion sense that time. Still young mah, hahaha. And I have short hairs. Plus those baby fats on my face. Hahaha! Luckily, I already start wearing contact lenses. If not, I will look like 林亚珍. In case you are wondering who she is, she is an character in the old movies. Old fashion and not-so-pretty.

There were about 100 guests in my house. Ya right! 100 over people in a 3 room flat. You will never believe it. Me too! I invited 70, but people I never invited, called up and wished me Happy Birthday. and said they heard about my party. I had no choice but to act as if I forget to inform them, and invited them to come also. And friends who claimed to be single all along, actually brought their boyfriends/girlfriends along. So you can imagine how cramped was it. My parents were so shocked, because they never imagine I had so many friends. 21st birthday with 100 relatives and friends, how many people will I invite if I get married??? Fortunately, neighbours were very understanding, because some of my friends had to sit at the corridor, (because bedrooms, kitchen and living room were all full) and they actually brought out their chairs for my friends to sit. Best part was I only ordered food for 50 person, (Experienced friends told me not to order exact number of headcounts for food, because sure to have extra portion given by caterer), and it was just enough to feed 100 over people. And everyone commented the food was great! Haha!!! Don't ask me which caterer leh, because I also don't remember.

So many things happened all these years. My family, relatives and friends... Some was gone forever, and some are lost, but many are still having close friendship with me. My cousin passed away a few years later. Some of my friends never contacted me after they got attached. Some of them live in their own world, and only call me when they need a favour from me. Some of them can only say Hi if they see me, because they can not remember my name anymore.

I really appreciate those old friends who stay with me since then, and new friends I made everyday. Through my hard times and good times, giving me a pat on the back when I have done something excellent, or kicking my ass when I made stupid mistakes, encouraging me when I tell them I want to do something new. consoling me when I failed. Sound emotional hor, but I just want to say thank you.
