this year's 19 was pretty much a roller coaster, filled with emotions that i can barely make sense of myself, although stripped to its barest, still feels familiar. love, gratitude and joy.

i'm really thankful for the people in my life and every gesture means so much to me.

thanks:

shirleen for the gift and touching letter ningqian for the wonderful picnic pasta letter dinner yijin for the book and the geekiest and most original birthday wish i have ever received ichians for the dinner cake and unforgettable night jt for an amazingly extravagant but beautiful dinner and gift marcus for the choc in the box serangoon supper club for the cake and sweet card birdy for the late night starbux a part of the og for the impromptu dinner and everyone else for their wishes, love and for keeping me in their thoughts.

in recent years, i've never really wanted anything in particular for my birthdays. i just want to feel loved and happy, that's all. oh and surprises. just because they're fun.
