~*The best birthday ever...by far*~




My day started off with my sisters and mother wishing me a HAPPY BIRTHDAY cheerfully at mid night while presenting me with one of the nicest hand/sling bag I have yet to set my eyes on. It is a very nice orange/brown edc bag with purple batik like design on its brim.( I shall post a picture of it if I do take one soon!) After which at about 10, we went to the temple at potong pasir to get some soul cleansing and blessings and headed to the coffee shop opposite for a yummy breakfast of roti prata. OOOhhhhh..I must say the prata there is one of the best I have ever eaten! Soft and definitely made with loads of love and not just for the sake of making money. You can really taste it in the food. Serious!! Go try and feel it for yourself! haha.





Take note of this. My breakfast was taken at about 11am and when I reached home at about 1230pm, my father came home with BRIYANI!!! I had to practically stuff each grain of rice into every available space my poor stomach could take and thank goodness, it decided to consume everything without much fuss yesterday. It did not stop there. My sis and I then had to go to appupa's house for lunch number 2!!! haha..you see, we did not expect our father to be home that early and made plans with our old man the day before for lunch before venturing out right after. And you can imagine what would have happened next. Just imagine a pot filled to its brim with food content and someone trying to add MORE food into it. *burp!*





Never mind, for yesterday, I shall call it stuffed with love(quoted from sis..hehe). haha..at least we made 2 people happy by giving them the much needed company? =)





And ya da ya da ya, to cut the long grandma story short, the 3 of us went to the airport to slack and get a manicure done(nisha and I , Nerd-o priya waited outside with her New Moon Book).It was a very slack-o outing. We walked around T3(because we are sick of the shopping centres in S'pore)and then headed down to the viewing gallery to do some chit chat and have a light snack. And then it was home sweet home for dinner with the family.





Why do I say it was one of the best birthday's ever?Well, it is because, I got to spend it with my sisters and also, it was really coincidental when all the people that really meant so much to me actually called me up to wish me personally and it really really made my day. The smile could not falter one bit yesterday.





Lastly, I am very relieved I came clean with Reshpal. I am really very relieved and actually still raw from everything. She messaged me so randomnly at night saying she actually missed me and wanted to meet me to catch up on things.She also asked about me avoiding her calls and messages. Guilt and sentiments got over me and I decided to finally rattle it all off. Not before reminding her that it was my birthday! hahaha..oops! And she called me to wish me! There were things she said that made me actually tear up a little because honestly, in our 10 years of friendship, I never once thought she appreciated me as one of her closest friends. I was always letting my insecurities guide me blindly, making me misinterpret every action, every word from her. Yesterday, I decided to let go of that one part of me.





I have been wrong about alot of things with regard to her. Most recent being the topic of me quitting school. To my surprise, she was actually understanding ad was even happy over my acceptance with MOE. Hmm..I guess I have been bit too critical of her all these years.





I am sorry. I feel like telling her that. I don't know why, but it was at the tip of my tongue to say it out last night but then the devil of all prides caught my tongue. I am not ready yet.But I will apologise to her when we meet up personally. I have to get the whole guilt out of my chest because I have been one very bad friend. I have bad mouthed her alot in the past and do not want it to happen again.





Yesterday opened my eyes to alot of things and I believe in a symbollic way, it meant a new beginning. A new birth day.I understood a friend,I finally found peace within myself and have embarked on a new journey of eradicating all negative traits of mine. I am very overwhelmed with what have been happening in the past week. Good things,that is.I can't explain it because it is something that cannot be explained.It as to be felt and I can feel it deep inside me.A very tingling sensation of calmness.





Maybe, if you ask me, I would be able to describe as close to it as possible. =)





With one small gesture, you can change a person's life
