Confessions of an Undisguised Drama Queen

Just like me...

Like mentioned in the 'C'est Moi' column, I'm a living paradox.

When things are shitty and depressing, I punch my fists into the air and beat my chest, wondering what have I done to deserve such crap. But when suddenly, things take a miraculous turn for the better, I whimper in a guilty voice, what have I done to deserve this?

I cannot be pleased, can I?

Having said that, I must clarify that I am not in anyway near the gorilla-like J (the chest pounding action? noooo...).

I am in total bliss.

Anyone would be too, if they had such awesome people around them.

I met my mum in town for lunch and she took me to a Japanese restaurant at Swissotel.

I do go Japanese once in a while, but never have I gone so authentic. The food there was lip-smacking delicious.

The meal started with this tiny little cup of Chawanmushi. It looked rather pale in comparison to the more generous serving they have at Sakae. But lo and behold, the tiny thing packed a whole lot of punch! Got ginkgo nut somemore! It's so good, when I think of Sakae's now, I think, bland.

My mum and I each ordered a lunch set which we shared for variety; the succulent prawns in a creamy custard-like base, the very perfectly grilled salmon, the grilled beef fillet, oh yes, the beef...

Never before have I tasted such soft and tender beef. It was so juicy yet it melted in my mouth like fish meat does. If the normal Japanese beef tastes this good already, I think the day when I get to taste Kobe beef, I'll just die of happiness.

Then my sister gave me her little present preview that she got my mum to pass to me. Check this out:

Pretty flower

and the sweetest hand-made card with the most heartwarming sign-off!

And I must also show the very very humongous poster of me sitting in my room.

Tada!

It's a mosaic present made by Mokkie. Very unique!
But for the most shocking one yet...

Christian and Grace got me a NEW HANDPHONE. Okay, an old-new handphone to be precise... but it's still in perfect condition! I lost my T630 but now I get a more functional k300i!

Yay... I never knew birthdays could be this awesome.

Its funny, I used to think turning 21 isnt really a big deal, but i guess when that day came up and i found myself looking back at my life for the past 21 years, it just seemed kinda surreal, to look back and try to understand how one came into being, shaped by people and the environment. And you start to evaluate what you've done so far, what youve achieved in life, what makes you happy, who's important to you and so on. I guess turning 21 means a turning point in life, where you start to question the purpose of your existence, your dreams and passion. To a very special friend, i hereby toast to you on your maiden journey in adulthood, and may happiness always be with you, just like your name :); 11:46 PM
