Birthdays birthdays

Yeah man I survived 19 years, officially today. One of the busiest and most tired birthdays. Been busy with JUMP and basically a boring NS life. I guess everyone's busy.

2 days ago I just celebrated my bro's bday with my parents. We ate Fish & Co. for dinner and watched 'Mummy 3'. Had a great time with them man. My bro posted me with a rather interesting question, 'why do we celebrate bdays'. I couldn't really answer that, all that I came up with was, 'coz that was the day we were born and it's a good day.'

My love language is time, basically I don't need fanciful birthday celebrations. I just wanna spend time with my love ones and close friends. But well I kinda expected a rather unexciting bday this year, everyone's busy and stuff.

Anyway honestly I didn't really enjoy today. Hah it was quite dead after svc when everyone went for CLM. Had Astons with Walmond they all. Simon thought they were gonna treat me. Haha oh well but in the end it wasn't really so. Turned out to be just a normal dinner. It's okay, that steak was good. I really didn't wanna play lan, seriously, I quitted lan like 3 years ago. But in the end I still got dragged by them to play lan. Damn sian. Hah okay la, didn't wanna be a wet blanket. Had supper with Gideon and Shawn after that, couldn't hide from Gideon that I was rather disappointed today. But oh well, yeah it's true, we have to be understanding...

ANYWAY just wanna thank God for a few ppl:
Yihui and Siewluan, thanks for appearing with a cake at my doorstep at like 11pm on Monday night. I really didn't expect that man. You guys knew that I was gonna be damn busy this week and wouldn't have the time to celebrate. It's really really sweet and I appreciate it alot, AND THE DURIAN CAKE IS FREAKING AWESOME! Lol thanks thanks! :D

Qianjin, thanks for the 'cake' and hershley kisses. Haha and of coz the little humble sharing session we had after that. You're a shepherd who really takes effort to listen to your sheep and to me that's the most important role of a shepherd. Thanks I felt so much better after sharing today.

Gideon and Shawn, you guys knew me the longest in church. Haha Gideon! Thanks for spending time with me today even though you were like so tired. Appreciate your prayers, touched me alot. Shawn, what can I say man. You're the longest friend I knew in my life, it's been 7 years, and God has brought us so far. Haha thanks for everything dude.

A really humble birthday this year. But nonetheless, 19 marks a new phase, with new challenges ahead, new struggles, new growth points, new breakthroughs.
