23

I had my first birthday in US days ago. I didn't really do anything special on that day as there was nothing really for me to celebrate about. I don't believe in birthday and I always think that I have only one birthday in my entire life, which was the exact day I was born 23 years ago. Besides, after moving to Santa Ana, I have been really busy. Working and having my master study at the same time, kind of exciting huh?! Yeah...0_o. After getting off from work I gotta work on my assignments and journals. So, the result- I never get chance to have a good sleep and do my own stuff. I am always in a state of exhaustion.

Though, my silly friend, Protocol always remember that. She insisted that we should go out and do something fun. So, we went to 'The block', watched a movie, had some shopping, had some drink and then late night dinner. It's just regular, but I enjoyed every moment. I couldn't explain that, just it's really nice to have a good friend who insisted on celebrating your birthday. She bought me a purse, a ring and a cute skirt. In returning her kindness, I gave her a kiss. MUAKS. Protocol, my life will defnitely incomplete without you. Love you.

Then I have a surprise. A friend from West Virginia sent me a gift. When I picked up the parcel at the post office, I thought that it's going to be something general. But, who knows? I got a REAL surprise! When I opened the parcel, I found one stuff animal inside, that was a guinea pig! OH MY GOSH! It looks exactly the same to my previos pet, 'Piggy'. Thanks Will, I appreciate that, a lot. Thank you! Thanls for being so sweet, thoughtful and always be there for me. That's the best present ever! Thanks. All the best to you. :P

MY Piggy! Yeah! This piggy will stay with me forever! Awesome.

So, what now? hmm.. I am 23 years old right now. How time flies, I couldn't believe it. I am getting older and older, it's kinda depressing. Though, like what Protocol said, "We don't have to feel bad for gettig older, as we are doing something meaningful in life and we have learn and experienced so much if compare to others..."

That's true... I am happy of who I am. I love my life at the moment, it allows me to really try something different and I have freedom to do whatever I want. Life's in our hand. I think in some way, if you really try your best, you can have some control on it.

So, sweet 23! Yeah! My life ahead will get better!

Again, Goodbye. Hi, New Life

There are too many 'Goodbyes' in our life. Again, on 2ND September 2007 (Sunday), I had to wave my hands at my friends in Georgia. Thank you, guys. I can never thank you all enough, I remember every single little thing you guys have done for me, that's a kind of warmth, which I am able to sense it, even at the moment I am jotting down my thoughts here.

Life's fulled of surprise. Or like the quote from the movie, which happened to be Chloe's favourite, "Life's a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get next..." That's so true, isn't it?

Right now, I am in Santa Ana, California. It's a nice place, to be honest, I like it alot. Somebody once said that, 'if you hate moving from places to places, you might as well go back to Malaysia, don't bother to stay here in US'. That's kinda mean in someway but it's a fact though. Life's a journey, it's never a destination. I love the saying. So, right now, I carry on my journey in CA.

Living is a bliss. You are the artist of your life. Sometimes, we have to throw away logical sense of design or conventional rule, use some random colours to paint it, who knows? You might be able to produce another 'Monalisa Smile', to be precise, should be a better one... You never know.

I am turning 23 years old soon. My very first birthday in US. Well, screw that, who cares about birthday? I don't. It's just that life's never come back. Recalling my year in US from a distant at a whole, I have no regrets. I have many of my dreams came true.

I guess I have more things that I have to deal with right now. So, hang on. As long as you believe in it, there are hope.

Yeah! I see the light! :p
