There are people who ask me, how's it like turning 21? And i find myself wondering what to reply. I wouldn't say i am exceptionally excited.. If anything, there is only one word that comes to my mind - Thankful.

I am indeed very thankful. I don't even know where or how should i go about saying this. Of this 21 years of my life, how i have come thus far, who i am today.. It obviously isn't just because of me. It isn't because of what i've done.. but more so, because of the people that God has placed in my life in these 21 years and all the things, good or bad, happy or sad, that i've been through.. indeed, all these have shaped me into who i am today..

Especially thankful for the precious few people in my life. Besides my family, i have this wonderful group of friends, whom i will definitely treasure and keep them close and dear to my heart. I really have no words to describe how thankful i am to have friends like them. There really is nothing more that i can ask for. really. They are the best group of friends i can ever have. And some of them, i am especially especially thankful for, cos i don't think i will ever have another friend who knows me that well..

And, this day. The girls - Emma, Jocelyn and Kim. They are just so so lovely. The things they do, though it may seem simple and normal in the eyes of others, but to me, it means a lot. The lovely surprise, the dinner, the gift, the cards and more importantly, their presence and company, it just touches my heart so much. I am blessed, very blessed.

I know i have mentioned this a million times. But this friendship that the 4 of us have, what a gift it is from God. It truly is. This friendship isn't one that is coincidental. It is part of God's plan. The 4 of us are so different, yet in some ways, similar too.. and we are the best of friends today. They truly are special, they are family and I'm glad that they are part of my life :)
