Birthday Blues

Boo-hoo!!! I am 21 years old already! I feel old.. I know most people would probably be cheering and rejoicing at their new found 'freedom' but to me being 21 is not really fun. Well, not fun YET anyway. It does not seem to make such a big difference to me in my past, present or even future life. I don't go into clubs(plan to though), I don't really gamble so much that I would die to get into a casino. It's just like a normal ageing thing to me. 


Firstly, I am among the first among my peers to BE 21!! That is one reason why I feel OLD. 

Secondly, I can no longer behave like a small kid and blame it on my teen tantrums.. Hehe.

Thirdly, I have more responsibilities at this age, namely to vote for my country's wakil rakyat when election time starts which is like two, three more years to go? Which reminds me, I must get myself registered soon.  

Fourthly, being 21 means you are one step closer to being 30! And I can't simply imagine myself being at that age! Haha. I know, I know! I am being too 'far-sighted'. But it's true. Tell me it isn't and I'll eat my... uh.. hat.

Okayla, since this IS an important milestone in one's life, I decided to have a birthday party/bash/do (whichever sounds more sophisticated for a 21 yr old person). I was thinking, what the heck, you are only 21 once in your life! Why not celebrate it with a big bang then?! So I did. Called a few friends, some couldn't make it (so sad), most of them did. The normal works la you know, when you have any sort of party or gathering. I think my godma was shocked at the rented canopy outside of my house, she did not expect the party to be so BIG!!! Haha. Anyway, what can I say? Food was great, the company was wonderful. I enjoyed myself. I hope my friends did. It was so nice meeting up with people who are sometimes hard to catch up with. (partly my fault) Get to know more about their journey in life after form 5.. Won't be seeing some of my friends for at least two years I think.. Going to miss them.. Well, it was a memorable night for me. I am glad that I chose to have that birthday party. You have no idea how close the plan was, to being scrapped. Haha. But I am really, really glad I didn't! It was great!!!

To Mr. KT

This post is written in honour of (no, scratch that), is written with the objective to give someone a piece of my mind. (Want my cerebrum or medulla oblongata?) Firstly, this person complained that I did not update my blog often enough. Then he said, "Kenny Sia updates everyday." Yeah right, it's not everyday la Tai Kor! And why compare me to him? I'm so tiny and puny in the blogsphere. Heh. Anyway, I'm super busy and super tired and has had no inspiration whatsoever to blog about anything till today. (Thanks to somebody...) Before I go into the second part, for all those who have yet to hear about it, (it's been publicized in her FB), my sister, Eileen is now formally engaged to her sweetheart of six, seven years. Congrats to my dear dear sister. Finally, eh? Hahah. The second part is related to this. Not referring to my sis, but me. Our good friend who complained that I don't update often, had the gall/balls (Grr...) to 'insult' me. When I sh

Of Vampires and Werewolves

I've never really been an ardent fan of the Twilight series(boo...says you). And I have no idea why some girls go gaga over Edward the vampire. He looks so paste-y with the bloodshot eyes (yea yea he's supposed to look that way). And bleah! I think he looked way hotter in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire as Cedric Diggory . That, I can go gaga. But in Twilight??? The romance between Edward and Bella is fine. Romantic, mushy and cliched. Heh. But there's nothing much for me to shout about. (Sorry to the ardent fans, esp to my three sisters. Ha.) This year, the next sequel in this series is about to be released tentatively in November. Known as New Moon , the title is definitely appropriate since the werewolves play a bigger role this time. I didn't read any of the books in the Twilight series though my sisters finished the whole lot of it. So there's no doubt I have no idea of what's going on in the next book. But judging from this trailer of the next sequ

My Future???

After thinking for a while, (ok, not a while but many whiles) I have finally decided what to do after I graduate (hopefully) in May this year. I have narrowed it down to two options. Sigh. Either I continue my studies and proceed wtih Masters (God, help me..) or I apply for this work and travel thing to US for six months. Will see how it goes... see which comes first. If it's the latter, I'd most probably miss my Convocation. If the former is first, the latter will no longer be on my list. We'll see we'll see. :) P/S: Applying for masters has nothing to do with what the government has allocated to help the economy.
