This is one of the notable nights in my life.
Low-key, in the neighbourhood, fuss free, dressed-down and just plain comfortable.
Happy 20th Birthday Li Bing.
This is the girl who will go an extra 10 miles for a friend.
This is the girl who helped me to photocopy 40% of my notes in Mass Comm.
This is the girl who reassures me and calm my insecurities despite they fact that hers has roots way deeper.
This is the girl who proof reads my articles, especially the important ones.
This is the girl who compliments on-the-go, when needed.
This is the girl who reads and sings with me.
This is the girl who delivers a bucket of truthfulness and sincerity.
This is the girl who will laugh at everything and encourage me to try harder telling jokes.
This is the girl who is savouring life and doing everything I don't dare to do.
This is the girl who knows what it feels like to be hurt, and take care never to hurt someone else.
This is the girl who will never wear me down.
ROCK IT LI BING.
21st Dec 2009 was a good day for me because of you.
Along with the your birthday you brought along a tremendous amount of good luck into my life.
And being able to see Grace and Charissa - the most precious gifts Mass Comm has given me..
made me hold on to the night so much tighter.
After graduation, the seemingly boring birthday reunions have taken on a new meaning.
Evolving from senseless laughter to nights of light-hearted bonding.
These are truly moments that make up the most essential part of growing up.
discussions, plans and calculated/uncalculated risks.
Do well at work libing and grace.
Score like nobody's business charissa.

I haven narrated my life for awhile.
So today, while Rachael Yamagata plays in the background, let the words flow.
The morning was spent on the NIE Sepak Tekaw courts, rooting for a team that did not win.
My first Sepak game in my entire life, watching, taking pictures, cheering for a team of unknowns.
The amount of energy I had in my lungs at 9am in the morning - I should consider a job as a discipline mistress.
My voice can be heard from 10 miles away.
From 12 to 3pm, I lent my hands and feet to the inter-school volleyball game.
I was treated to a full blast of the afternoon sun.
Even SPF 50 coulden stop the sun's advances.
We won a game and lost another, and with some sort of luck, managed to get in the 2nd round.
Sadly, I'll be in Hong Kong while they take on the other engineering schools, and my participation will be missed HAHAH, or so I hope.
The end of the afternoon was also a start of a new friendship, or so I hope.
A long wait for the shuttle bus, and a long long walk from Hall 10 back to Hall 9.
At least now I know one person who needs to climb more stairs than me to reach his place in NTU.
Before leaving for the much anticipated birthday surprise for Li Bing, I went around delivering Xmas cards.
And as with every day I'm in the hall, I cant help but do laundry - a new hobby of mine.
On the way out of hall, I stopped by to chat with XS and Pelie as they played volleyball.
Bumped into my new friend from CS, made small talked with an msn-acquaintance and hopped on a train that made me dizzy.
Holding "Norwegian Wood" in my hands and anticipating a birthday surprise, I felt that once again, I have found my place in the world.
