old maid. hmmph.
yay so today's my birthday and it really was nice to wake up to birthday greetings on the phone, on top of the two from xiongwei and zhiyong last night. butbutbut after reading the first four i WENT BACK TO SLEEP. hahah. hmm...so today i'm officially 18, which, according to dingyi, gives me the legal right to buy beer and booze for him and according to audreychonggy makes it legal for me to marry. HA marry indeed, when i'm like an old maid ohmygosh!! that's super sad. had a terrific celebration yesterday, think it was God's way of making up for a rather empty today, save for the last three hours before it's not my birthday anymore.
i was officially awake at 1030 thereabout and dallied my time till 12. then i thought i'd spend my birthday with God, since there was no one at home. and it was funny how so many birthday smses came rolling in but none came from my dad. at all. my bro told me he left me some money on my desk to get myself a good meal but he didn't wish me happy birthday so i had to ask for it. mom's in hongkong. so i went to pray and i felt reallyreallyreally happy. God just filled my heart with song and joy and i was swimming in God's lovely presence. it was indescribably great. yeah that lasted the rest of the day till around 5pm, which i spent couching and stoning. on my birthday. by the time my dad got back i got so sick of this birthday. seriously. and it started welling up inside of me how much it sucked to have like so many friends screaming birthday greetings when my own family kinda thought it was just another one of 365 days in the year 2008. so there. the birthday smses kept coming in though, and they truly made things a whole lot better. BUT then my bro came back and ha it was the time of my extreme unhappiness so i didn't wanna talk at all, lest i end up shouting at everyone. he said i was putting up an attitude.
it has been sorta a family tradition to go out for dinner on someone's birthday and since mom's outta town we agreed on tomorrow. so my bro was shouting about the 'stinking attitude' i had when we had already agreed on dinner tomorrow with my mother. and there he was ranting away. yeah. don't talk=attitude. wow. great definition.
it's not about the dinner. not at all. and he doesn't see it. my dad doesn't see it. they both don't see it.
anyway i couldn't stand it at home anymore so i went out. for some air. for some life. and there was friendly company. (psst...thanks man.) and thank God for that. had a starbucks drink to cheer myself up but it was way too sweet. yuck. okay. oh and tim CALLED to wish me happy birthday on my way to starbucks. that was mighty timely. so needed it then. yay thank you. thank God for you.
okay i'm tired of emo-ing. it's disgusting.
i need to go find my physics notes.
and smell them at least.
yeah. and i need to pray.
i shall not emo.
thank you all for flooding me with so much love in those smses!! LOVE YALL LIKE CRAZY!! YALL ROCK!! thank God for all of you!! <33!!
