time for another candle...
i'm going to try and remain as composed as possible whilst delivering this message...
MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!
as of 3.18am tomorrow morning, i will officially leave behind the comforts of my 18th year and cross over into the unknown realm that is being 19-years-old. am i looking forward to adding another candle to my brithday cake (or as some would say, another step towards the grave ;p)? hell no! but am i looking forward to the bundles of presents, fairy dust, trimmings and all things nice that come with being the birthday girl?
hell yes! ;)
though the day would be absolutely perfect should mom and hafiz be here with me, it's all good cause they'll be joining me on the 14th for
3 weeks! woohoo! it's been a while since the three of us just hung out and laughed without the worry of work or school bearing upon us. we are in desperate need of this time away and i'm so looking forward to seeing them in a couple of weeks.
that having been said, the absence of my family haven't put a halt in party plans amongst my friends here in melbourne. got my first birthday wish from diana, who was half asleep and cross-wired when she sms-ed me at precisely 12am
last night to wish me a happy 19. her intentions were sweet... but i'm beginning to think that too many chemistry worksheets is getting to her ;p i also got my first present from katie today! i was so surprised when she sprung it on me on the way to tutorial this morning. a box of chocolates, bracelets and a cute birthday card ;) see... i LOVE birthdays!!
especially mine ;D muahahaha....
but the main cause for excitement undoubtedly happens tomorrow. after a month of silence, jacqueline finally devulged to me yesterday afternoon that
plans have been made for me for my birthday tomorrow night. why do i hear the 'psycho' soundtrack playing in the background all of a sudden? ;p i think the most terrifying thing a girl can ever be told the day before her birthday, when asked what the plans are, is '
not to worry. everything's been taken care of.' good God, when i heard jacq mutter those words, i could've sworn i saw a forked tail swing from behind her! because despite my obvious excitement... i am
REALLY terrified! ;p there are just way too many variables adding to my birthday. the last 2 birthdays we planned (joel's in november and jacq's in march), included me in the planning and lots of sneaking around. often for weeks before the birthday without the respective age-turner's knowledge. so the fact that i'm being left out of the decision making is making me rather anxious. who knows how long it's been since planning has commenced and what's been concocted from the congregation of some of the smartest minds i know?! throw mark and kevin into the mix and things may even turn violent for me! uh oh...
regardless... let me reiterate this important fact
MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW!!!
whatever my friends have planned for me... i can't wait ;) and though it really saddens me that my best friend joel can't make it due to a presentation the next day, his promise that he'll make it up to me is just gonna have to suffice for now :( all of us haven't been together in so long that i'm just looking forward to all of us being together. cause at the end of the day...
that would be the greatest present of all... being with the people i care about on my 19th birthday...
though any additional presents are
VERY much welcomed ;)
