Yo everyone! Wohoo! What a great day today was! Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday! :) Even just a simple "Happy Birthday" greeting means a lot to me haha. At the start, I wasn't really that enthusiastic about my birthday, cause like hey, I figured my birthday was just as normal as any other day. Well at least I spent my last few birthdays like that haha ever since I grown up to become a teenager. But hey! It feels good when people say happy birthday to you. I would say that it's a feeling of being appreciated by others. And that makes your birthday significant. :) The moment I woke up and swiched on my handphone, I discovered that I had recieved so many "Happy Birthday" messages, and that kind of kicked off my day with a good start haha :)

During today, it was also NYJC's newspaper collection at Toa Payoh and Serangoon. Somehow or another, my class was assigned to the area around Vanessa's house. What a coincidence haha. Well, it made life for us easier as well cause we had a place to put our bags as well as have refreshments during our break. And we even had a trolley, a very convenient tool for newspaper collection I must say.

Well, today's newspaper collection went quite ok other than one thing which had room for improvement which was the waiting duration for the truck to come. A lot of groups had to wait for hours before the truck went to their collection point to load the newspapers and stuff. For my class, we had called the truck at 11.30am but ended up waiting until 2.00+pm. Well it brought up a lot of complaining and stuff like that. Well, in between my class resorted to playing filler games, and they also put the time to use by celebrating the birthdays of people in our class who are born in January. Yeah, that includes Vanessa and me. And the cake was personalised and had our names on it! That was a nice thing to see.. :) Check out the picture of the cake below.

After the celebration, the truck came eventually, and even though it was full with newspapers and stuff from other checkpoints, our class still managed to load everything onto the truck. :) And we had some unexpected extra help as well, cause Huimin and Wei Jun came to join us. Well, some councilors had decided to go out for lunch together, and Huimin and Wei Jun figured that rather than go to J8 and wait, they might as well meet up with me and Vanessa and help us out first, then we leave together. Thank you you two! :) And great job 05S10A!!! I believe our class showed a lot of team work and cooperation today. Everyone had fun right? Ok labour work such as moving the newspapers may have been difficult, but I believe we enjoyed each other's company today :) It was a good experience for everyone right?

After finally finishing the collection, me, Vanessa, Huimin and Wei Jun then rushed to J8 for our appointed lunch. Well cause of the delay we only reached J8 at around 3.00+pm and our arrangment was supposed to be 2pm haha. Well we met up with Bee Fong at J8 as well, and Cunzheng joined soon after cause he had went home to wash up and change clothes first cause he had to look nice for the outing with the Dragon House OGLs later on. We then decided to have our lunch at Pastamania, where our class girls were also having lunch together. At Pastamania, the councilors sang a birthday song for me, and they gave me a cake which was bought from "Sweet Secrets". Opps, I forgot to take a picture of it :P Maybe I should ask Bee Fong to get another one haha...next time bah. Well after lunch, the group of us met up with Swee Wei and Jinfa who were delayed cause of the same "late truck" problems haha. And yeah, after walking around J8 a bit we then all returned home. And I officially bought my first drink of wine today haha.

In the evening, I had a simple dinner at the Serangoon Garden Country club with my family, and now I'm at home now blogging and stuff like that.

Phew, what a day, what a day. Birthdays are great! Haha. Thank you all once again everyone! Without you all I never would have such a great day today :) Friends are the best! Cya all everyone! You all are the bestest!
