Wow... Its a special day today, a day to remember all the friends that have been so dear to me. That, to me is what the true essence of a birthday celebration is. Thank you, my friends. This may sound mushy but... I love you all from the depths of my heart! =)
Before the birthday reflections, a bit of random stuff that happened before today.

Family
Well, after a long long long long long time, I've finally had a pool session with my bros, and Nat who came over whilst our parents were having cell at my house. Went down to the Billard room to play for awhile, then went to babysit the other kids that came over.
Results:
Me 4 Daryl 0
Me 1 Darren 0
Me 1 Nat 0
6 match winning streak wooo... After that went to the playground with the young kids of my parent's cell members. Clement, Vanessa and JJ (godbro). Played catching with them, and tried my best not to catch any of them. It was kinda difficult heh. Went back to the house and let them play clubpenguin on my comp.

YE
Sunday was great, woke up early to play soccer at the street soccer court near Gerald's house. It rained for quite awhile in the morning, but eventually we started playing with a group of nice malay guys. Manage to score a few goals, but most probably was the weakest link heh.
After some time we went to Gerald's house to bathe and play with his dogs, then headed to church for the first one-on-one mentoring session with Tim about Devotional Life. Was really looking forward to it, cos I could learn a bit on how to use the devotional material with my other friends. Sharing things with him was a great experience. Next week's topic ~ Stewardship. Gotta do my devotion tonight.
Went for the prayer session for YE after. It was great that so many YE people came down though it was an optional thing. Good that everyone's so fervent about prayer, and has his/her concerns for YE.
After church I got a surprise when two of the sec 1 girls, Hazel and Sherill came rushing after my parent's car to give me a present. Full of gummy bears and assorted goodies. Haven't gotten down to eating them yet though. Thank you! If you guys do come here.

Reflection
Well when I look at now and my birthday last year, it was a lot more busier then. Stuff such as Ballet Under The Stars, Raffles Rock stuff with Carpenter's Tools, final Guitar Prac before the J2 Prelim preps break, doing PW interviews at OFS, and a CAP Sunday. Woo. Now I don't have any school stuff. Which is great in a way, but not so great in another.
Was woken up throughout the night by SMSes on my phone. Thank you all those who messaged me with well wishes and birthday greetings. You guys know who you are. Really appreciate it.
Spent some time thinking about what I'd like for my birthday, and what kind of gift would make my day. And I realise that I'm actually a low maintenance friend, the kind who will still stick beside you even if you rarely see me or talk to me. Gifts didn't really matter to me. But one thing that I really wanted was for any friend to just break through the awkwardness and just say 3 words, and mean it.
"I Love You." It would mean everything to me.
Some times its awkward for both guys and girls. Guys saying it to another guy would probably mean that he's gay. Girls saying it to a guy would probably mean she's interested. But... If anyone would be willing to say it to me face to face despite all the awkwardness it'd put the person through, I'd feel really blessed.
Haha this doesn't mean that any of you have to do it. I appreciate whatever you've done for me till today, and I'll continue to appreciate it. But if you do that special thing, it would add to my happiness haha.
