Today, 20th January 2016 is my 21st Birthday.
I've decided to write this blog post because I'm very grateful for the things that my family and friends have done for me.
Firstly, I would like to thank my mom for buying me a very expensive gift.
We Chinese have a belief that when someone turns 21 years old, his or her parents should buy him or her a gold key. Cause' the key suppose to symbolise the key to freedom and also to unlock the path to his or her future.
When I was young, I have always wanted a gold key because I always believe that this key can really unlock doors to my future. So, when mom bought me this gold key, she has fulfilled one of my childhood dreams.
Secondly, I would like to thank my siblings for buying me gifts and also celebrated my Birthday. Cause' I didn't really expect any celebration. So, I'm very grateful and thankful for everything.
Thirdly, I would also like to thank my best friends for being the earliest ones who sent me Birthday wishes. Their messages were very long, very sentimental and of course, heart warming.
I never really think that I, myself as a very good friend because I didn't really contact any of my friends that often. I am also a very impatient girl with a very bad temper. Apparently, my friends didn't mind about my flaws but still love me for who I am. I don't really have a lot of friends but luckily, I'm still blessed for everyone of them is very true and sincere to me.
Fourthly, I would like to thank my buddies who went to Thailand and still remember my Birthday. They even took a video and sent to me just to make sure that I get my Birthday wishes. I would also like to thank Siew Wen for calling me all the way from Singapore, just to wish me.
Lastly, I would also like to give thanks to all of my awesome media studies' course mates for sending me wishes.
Thank you, all my KEBATIM's teammates, college mates, Facebook friends and others for all the kind wishes too.
Of course, there are certain people who don't understand why am I so happy about all those wishes. Well, to me, none of them have the responsibility to send me wishes. I'm not trying to be negative or dramatic, but I'm certainly not the type of person who expect anything from anyone. I always believe that "No Expectations, No Disappointments." What I am trying to imply is others treat you well is because of courtesies and not because of responsibilities, and for someone to treat you with courtesy is really must based on that person himself or herself. It's something optional and not subjective.
To have someone who always remember me is always a great blessing.
And I have more than just a person who always there to care for me.
I have family and a bunch of friends who always think of me.
So, how can I ask for more?
I can only say that...
My 21st Birthday is wonderful because of all the loves that I have received.
Sincerely, thanks to each and everyone of you. <3
