The passing of this day will bring forth a special occassion.
In just 2 minutes from the start of this post, it will be my beloved BERYL's birtday. Beryl is a precious stone, and similarly, she is precious to me.
Returning to the old days.
It was the first time I went to Ken's house, and it was also his birthday. Ken's dad had pitched a tent on the ground level of the house for us guys to spend the night. It was a stayover party. And that left little sister, Beryl whining and complaining. But dad just wouldn't allow. That Beryl was only about 7 or 8years old then.
Today, she's hit her sweet 16th year! a Pro in piano, and avid basketballer. Along the way, she's also grown to become someone that I keep as precious in my heart. A much more grown lady now, but still that little Beryl in my eyes. haha.
9th Apr 1991 was the day she first saw light. Or also known as her "egg crack". haha. scienifically very wrong though.
The other significant thing that's happening is, it marks my 19th year and 364th day of physically independant life. which also means, it is the last day of my teenage years!!!!!!
Ahh..remembering the day when I just turned 13, and I was enjoying the benefits of passing that age, mourning the price increases, and taking for granted that I still had a long time of fun as a teen. It was as if life had only just begun. It also was the first year my cell group W57 celebrated my birthday for me. Then I was still struggling to adapt to secondary school life. Having Getting Started bible study. haha. Learning almost everything from scratch.
But today, it's only slightly more than 23 hours left before I leave that phase of life behind, and move on to the transition year into adulthood. in 1years time, I'll be 21. That's when I'll be a full adult in the eyes of the law.
This is going to be my 8th time I celebrate my birthday with MY cell, and the 20th time I do with my family.
What the future holds, it will be in God's hands. I can smile and keep walking ahead.
Also, a belated birthday to another of my friend who I've just gotten to know only months ago. She's Kristen. Also a friend that touched my heart. 3rd April was her birthday. We were in the same IS class, WISP. Roped into the same project group by Albert and Rena. Today, she's graduated from Polytechnic, and already working.
Kristen's a real WOG. That's Woman of God. She's one of the worship leaders, and she was put incharge of planning the whole youth conference. Though she's had some personal setbacks sometime ago, she still proves to be going strong. Way to go! I believe that only God could have made our paths cross. You never know someone for no reason. It always is a divine appointment. Certainly a friend worth knowing and keeping.
Nothing special intended. (: Just friends.. So nobody should think wai. alright. haha.
That should sum it all up for now.
:) (: :) (:
You won! 11:56 PM
