I Turn 18

I'm officially 18. A step behind adolescent, getting closer to adulthood. My birthday turned out to be a blast after all ^___^

Skyped with my long-time-no-see Aussie friend for 3 straight hours.

Alex : Brat!!! I simply cannot believe that you're turning 18 soon. No offence but obviously your age and your looks is so not compatible. It's more like errmmm.. a 13 year old kid claiming to be an adult you know!!

Me : That is so not true, believe it or not I'm turning 18 man!!! Gosh, felt like an adult already!

* Clock stroke 12.00AM *

Alex : Ohhh Myyy Goodnesss!!! Happy Birthday BRRAAATTTT !!!!!!!!!!!

Me: Argh.. Thanks but then I demand you removing that despicable label as my birthday present. I'm 18, thus no more a brat you know.

Alex : Brat! You know you're actually legal to do soooooooo many stuff now that you're officially 18.. you see arr... * inserts an imaginary list of gibberish after-18-legal-list as shown below *

1. Drinks in pubs and nightclubs
2. Get married without parents' consent
3. Watched porn legally without doubt or guilt * Repeated by dirty minded male friends when testosterone gush strikes*
   
4. Vote for next election round in US
5. Legally hit the road
6. One night stand with anyone legal from the opposite sex = ="""
7. Purchasing tobacco
8. Appearing in pornographic materials
9. Signing names and buying stuff via internet
10. Donating body to science
    

Apart from receiving bombarding birthday wishes from all my friends and cousins, Skyped with Jemuel till 4AM.

Jemuel : Oh ya, Happy Birthday dude! Don't worry you're still young.

Me : 18 already. Goodness I feel like an adult already. And AND AND!!! I'M NOT EVEN AN INCH TALLER YOU KNOW!!

Jemuel : *Laughs + a million 'effective' ways to grow taller *

Me : Don't laugh! You still owe me an iphone and since you're doing Architecture.. OH MY GOSH!! YOU OWE A HOUSE DUDE!!!!!!!! Damn, better settle your debts by the time you're back here!!

Jemuel : * Laughs again *

I was amazingly invited out on my birthday along with Gabrielle, Jonas, & Stefan. Still waiting, Gabrielle called and said that they were waiting outside Green Gallery, until I suddenly realised that I had forgotten to tell them I'm actually waiting at 4th mile Expert Food Court instead of the one located at BDC. Bummer! Jonas managed to came all over to 4th mile to pick me, Gab was there to wish me Happy Birthday and with 4 of us in his Atos our journey continues. Next destination, Trinity Methodist Church to meet up with Lilian to witness Enoch Fernando's instrumental piano concert. Alas! It was already 7.40PM. With full confidence, Jonas who was supposedly driving us there, ended up in Kenyalang Park.

Gabrielle : Why are you driving here?? You're heading to St. Faith Methodist Church!!!!!!!! [ as she turns hysterical loosing her head ]

Jonas : Eh You mean that is St. Faith?? Not Trinity Methodist ??

Gabrielle : S.T.R.E.S.S + pressing her phone vigorously [ poor n95 ]

A gem for my birthday night

After receiving directions from a church member collaborating with Stefan's 'GPS' to Ellis road, We arrived at 8.30PM. I was astounded that it actually took us 40 minutes to reach. Not forgetting also, infinite jokes about 'concert endings' and 'directions' on our way there. The concert was breath taking but it ended at 9.30PM and the greatest part was we actually sat at the 4th row despite our 1 hour belatedness; additional privilege from birthday boy maybe?

A plate of Cha Kueh enigmatically appeared on our table, and Jonas wrongly paid for it since he thought one of us ordered it.

We head to Open Air Market to grab supper after the concert, this time with a human 'GPS' thankfully we didn't get lost. Jonas & Stefan audaciously sung a Happy Birthday song to me, honestly I first thought it was a lame joke but then they did sung *cheers*. I recalled clearly about one of us claiming to be hungry, higher probability it was Stefan who was desirous to eat since the plate of Cha Kueh gradually moved towards him.

* Plain ice arrived *

Me : * Glaring at Jonas' bowl of pain ice * Why on earth are your ordering plain ice ??

Jonas : I tell you guys... [ inserts compliments of his bowl of plain ice ]

Gabrielle & I decided to try Jonas' well recommended bowl of plain ice. Didn't appear to be appetising but who knows, looks maybe deceiving. Appallingly, it turned out to be plain shaved ice, with sugar syrup, countable barley, bits of bloody jelly that I had to remove them and a few slices of dates that I somehow decided to 'abandon'.

By the way, it actually took the similar time for Jonas to chow down a bowl of ' scrumptious' plain ice, Cha Kueh, siaw bee and a bowl of beef noodles for Gab to finish a bowl of plain ice - some people just eat extremely fast. Jonas' sense of direction miraculously improved after he consumed food. I was sent home safely in one piece. I got Gab's text message by 1.05AM, relieved everyone made home alive.

My 18th birthday was adventurous, amazing and awesome. Thanks to everyone, it all adds up to the final piece to my birthday puzzle.
