OMG I'm 19 already! D:
The last year to enjoy having "1" at the tenth digit of my age! Haha :D
Thanks friends for you wishings :)
And especially to Vann, Ai Hui, Edwin and Kenneth :) Thanks for the bday surprise and the watch!
Vann is really sweet, I saw a watch last time and I commented that I like it while shopping with her a few weeks ago. I didn't buy the watch cos it's too expensive for me. I'm sure she's the one who bought it and shared the costs with others :)
Reflections and things I've learnt when I'm 18:
1. Love, I learnt how to love and what love is. Love is getting really worried about your another half safety when she's not home yet after midnight. Love means having sleepless nights when you really miss your another half. Love means ensuring your another half dont go hungry when she goes out with you haha. Love means cherishing every moment you have with her. Love is being able to visualise a bright future having her in you future life. Love means able to hold on and face the challenges of life together. Love means working hard for your studies or work to ensure that you can live together happily without worries under a shelter call home :)
2. Becos of love, I learnt what really jealousy is. It's really harmful when it's out of control >.< But sometimes I really can't help it lol...
3. Don't me narrow minded, there a lot of things in this world that is not within our control. Take care of the small things(things that are within your reach) and the big things(things that you cant control) will fall into place nicely for you.
4. Independence, in terms of going out alone to shop/eat. Being alone outside at times is not bad, I'm still slowing getting used to it.
5. Independence, in terms of self learning. The competition I've joined really trained me how trial and error lol. I experiment my robot umpteen times until I almost want to hug it to sleep liao.
6. Competition Stress, I'm sure not everyone has the chance to experience this. It trained me to be really focused under stressful conditions like having audiences' attention on you only or having to complete complicated task while racing with a limited time.
7. Financial Planning. It's really important for young adults like us to learn a bit of financial planning. I took up a savings plan from prudential, I think it's really a stepping stone for me :) Hope it will benefit me in the long run.
Hope the 19th year of my life will be great :)
