Twenty Four.

As far as I can remember, this is the most... placid (the lack of a better word) birthday I've ever had. But it was a nice change, surprisingly. There were spurts of moment when I was feeling somewhat piteous, but Sense gave me a severe scolding after that. I really needed that :P So today was spent like any other Thursdays. Same old, but it was a unique same-old.  Talked to some of my favourite people in the world, which made me really happy. Rewarded myself with window-shopping (okay, I did buy some stuff in the end), matcha tea latte, two slices of tart-cakes and best of all, a day free from my source of pain! *throws hands up in the air* At least I had a fair bit of human interaction- had lunch with my supervisor (who didn't know it was my birthday). And I had the birthday song sung to me via Skype while I stuffed my face with tart-cakes (that I 'accidentally' finished in one sitting) XD

One thing that I thought of today: It was a good idea to remove my birthday from FB. I don't need the whole world to know my birthday. I'm only interested in knowing who actually bothered to remember. And there were some people who caught me by surprise; those whom I never thought were close enough to me to remember my birthday but who actually did (if they didn't get hold of that information through another source of social media, that is). So it was a pleasant surprise. And of course there were those who only 'remembered' or 'got to know of' it through wall posts or the vine. But the moral of the story is that, it gave me a rough idea of people whose world actually has me in it. It's countable, but those people are those who makes it count.

Maybe it's age catching up on me, but I absolutely couldn't think of anything I wanted to do, or anywhere I wanted to go in particular. It felt quite loser-ish haha, but bestfriend told me that it might just mean that I'm satisfied with my current state of life so that I don't have any wants. That sounds like a better explanation, so I'll take it thanks bestfriend! XD but thinking back on it, I do think that I have everything that I need in life actually. Sure, one could always do with more clothes, bags & shoes but then I start to think of my exploding wardrobe, of which I only wear about 1/4 of the things in there, and I think maybe not. But of course there are tons and tons of places I'd like to go, but honestly speaking, none of them are places I can reach with my 11s and normal modes of transport. So, if you ask me if I enjoyed my 24th, I'd say yes, although it was a really quiet affair, but sometimes simplicity is really best.

So here I am. Almost in my mid-twenties. It hasn't exactly been a bed of roses, but I'm thankful for this life He has redeemed with a heavy price. 

Kinda reached my quota for YOLO food today. Must be disciplined for the rest of this week!
Jiayou June!
