Turning Seventeen

Monday, July 1, 2013 ( 1:14 AM )

So yeah. I turned Seventeen last week. THE BIG ONE SEVEN. its crazy thinking how time flies just like that. It seems like just yesterday it was the 1st day of high school and we were all sitting in the hall, waiting to go into our form 1 classes. Now, that there's only half a year left to my high schooling years, Its rather depressing. I'm gonna miss all of this so much. How accustomed I've been to this whole school thing, that I feel like when I'm done with it, I'm leaving a big part of me behind. Just as if I won't know who I am anymore. C'est la vie. We all have to move on at some point. This is only the start. Well, I didn't do much for my 17th. I chose not to remind myself that I'm already closing in on adulthood and that I've got to make some serious decisions soon. For the future and blah... yeah, that's pretty much what I prepared myself for on my birthday. But to my surprise, I was greeted to a crazy day or should I say week filled with surprises,thoughtful gifts and wishes. It took me off guard how some of my friends had been so thoughtful with their gifts as I never knew they were capable of being. I really can't thank you enough. Although I wasn't looking forward to this birthday, but I can say it was one of the best birthdays ever. With surprise gifts and cards and cakes. Someone even wrote me a song, which I thought was really amazing. Well, I guess it was all just very shocking. In a good way :)

Surprise box of goodies from Qianru and Becky that they left on my table the other day. :)

Memory box from Kexin.

THIS, I was really surprised. Who knew that Kexin could be cheesy? HAHA but yeah, so she made this memory box, apparently to remember her by. She also included a long ass letter along with a stack of pictures, with cute captions stuck to back, and a mix. (so old school but so cool) I was really touched by this present because it reminded me of how much we've been through in the past 5 years and all the memories we've made together. Priceless. But yeah, thank you so much for all these years and for tolerating with me when I'm at my worse as well. I guess you can say we've been with each other through thick and thin. This friendship we share, I will never forget and will cherish everyday of my life. It gave me immense joy reading your letter and little notes. Well I guess it was very nice and a bit nostalgic, to reminisce on the good times. Indeed its been a heck of a teenage life with you. And like you, I wouldn't give it up for anything. Yeah, we all have our flaws and I have mine too, so thank you as well for sticking by me even with my flaws. This box made me laugh as I can't believe how we've managed to form this world of our own in the past years that no one else might be able to understand. HAHA Its crazy no? BUT I am pretty disturbed when you said we wouldn't talk as much when school ends. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN. I will hunt you down if you think that we would not continue to be hommies when school ends. I SWEAR.

All in all, its been a good birthday and although I'm a bit reluctant to, but I will continue to live the last days of my high school life to the fullest, trying to make as many memories as I can :)
