I've turned 21!!!! Had my pink party... The food was great... But of course... My mummy is such a great cook... The party turn out was rather good given that it is a weekday... The cake was fantastic... Of course, cos I've always had great taste.. Everything turned out quite fine... And I did enjoy myself...
Having a party is one stressful event though... Especially when most of the things needed to be done is like done by myself... I thank God for the help that came along the way... Melissa did quite a bit... Brought the camera... Put out some "fires"... And the help from Lydia is like rather major... She did the nice e-invite... Brought camera to take photographs... Then there is Daniel who took the camera from Lydia and just started snapping wildly... Haha...
There is of course my spiritual family (immediate [ladies] and extended [guys]) to thank for... The "fires" my spiritual sisters had to put out... The help some of my spiritual brothers rendered (automatically or hinted)... I cannot say thank you enough...
The guys who came to my party were of much help... Haha... My cousin's boyfriend was so concerned I wasn't eating the food that he took a plate of food and made sure I ate... Then of course there are the spiritual brothers who mostly surprised me... Haha... Throughout the night, Melvin kept asking me to not be so busy... Haha... That I should be enjoying my party... I was pleasantly surprised when Yinghan and Melvin volunteerily helped me gather the people, cut the cake et cetra... Then there was Dex who helped me give out the cakes... And he passed me my own cake to ask me to eat... I was like thinking shouldn't I be the one giving you the cake? Haha... When Jeff came to help me drink the second drink my brother mixed cos no one else would, I was pleasantly surprised too... Weicong was so concerned about me getting drunk... Haha... Told me not to drink if I couldn't take it anymore... He of course doesn't know that I am a girl who holds her liquor very well... Haha... Seriously, the guys ain't half as bad as we sometimes say they are... They just need the opportunity to allow their gentlemanliness (is there such a word?) shine...
My spiritual sisters are of course helpful too... They did the things no one really notice... Like when Daeyna stormed out... Shirong was crying... Et cetra... The "fires" they had to put out...
Some guys are simply put, too good to be true... Haha... But of course they do have areas of growth that need to be addressed, but on the whole, they are the kinda guys girls are looking out for... The gentlemanly, quietly doing things backstage without a need for anyone to notice...
Weicong, helped me entertained my little cousin Keith (who everyone found soooo cute...) the whole evening... His concern for me getting drunk was just as a spiritual brother ought to... And then during the prayer, he was again asking the rest not to dunk me with flour... He is as a spiritual brother should be... Always protecting fellow sisters from danger...
Dex, did a lot of little things I think... Things that others have pointed out... Apart from helping me distribute the cake... He other things like sweeping the floor of the mess my cousin made... Sweeping the floor of the flour my spiritual family dunk on me... Drove my spiritual sisters to the MRT station (and getting lost while coming back)... He probably did more than I did see... When we went out after the party, he had no qualms about having an overloaded car... Haha... When we went for supper (or should I call it breakfast since it was at 4am)... And I went to foot the bill, got scolded by him... Haha... Rather MCP I feel... He then drove us all back home, though he had to meet Nigel at 1pm... This guy is too nice... Ditto to what Des said... He is really a genuine guy, with no hidden agenda...
These two guys are probably the kinda we can term Godly guys... Man after God's heart... And ditto to what Yvonne said... They should write a module in SOL to teach boys to become men... Haha...
The gifts I got were rather similar throughout...

Shang, Bingkai and Mark gave me WOW #1s...
Melvin and Yinghan bought me this huge matchstick...
My aunt gave me an ang pow...
And so did Melissa's mum...
I think that's all of the presents... Thank God for them... Cos some of these things are stuff I won't buy for myself cos I would have rendered them useless to me at the price that I am going to pay... But nevertheless, these presents made me feel loved... haha... Be it the lack of taste in it (for the presents that some of the guys bought)... Or the total knowing what I need gifts that I got... Makes me feel loved, cos it is afterall the thought that counts...
Shall stop blogging liao... Think it's too long... Haha...
