Happy birthday to me!

Happy birthday to me!

Okay that sounds really sad, but anyway it's my birthday today. Apparently at about this time 16 years ago (it's about 2045 hours now) I was born =P.

Had a birthday lunch with family at Swensen's at Thompson Plaza, got a free Firehouse Ice Cream (which they give FOC to anyone whose birthday is that day and can produce an IC or Ez-link), THANKFULLY the staff there did not sing the birthday song which I've seen sometimes. Usually it's to little kids: they play it over the restaurant speakers and the staff sing it to you.

I would be totally embarrassed if that had happened, luckily it didn't.

Went for RWinds after that, one hour late, but they were still warming up O.o". Forgot to bring ticket stubs so couldn't return ticket money T.T. Oh, and happy birthday Leonard too! Same birthday as me =).

And after that...

Well, I didn't expect to get treated to birthday dinner (outside family). But I did =D! I mean, I got treated!

No one's ever treated me to birthday dinner before lol, because I haven't exactly been the most sociable person, but there's always a first ^^. They took me to:

And by they I mean Jerald, Eric, Russell and Ying Zhe. We all ordered this nice pork rib thing and spent the better part of half and hour decimating the ribs one by one. By the way, the pictures aren't mine.

Thanks guys, for the meal! I really enjoyed it and I appreciate it =D (and I think I bankrupted all of them as well o.o). It really made my day - and thanks to your gesture I've indeed had a happy birthday.

The thing about having such a late birthday is that when you finally reach it, you only get 10 or 11 days to enjoy it before the new year comes and you're expected to be the next year old already. Ah well, this time next year, all my friends might have already taken their driving tests and I'll be stuck watching them. Not that that's a bad thing - I don't trust myself to drive.

That being beside the point, becoming sixteen deserves a few resolutions doesn't it? And what better resolution than the very thing a RI student might contemplate:

(1) GET GOOD GRADES

No, seriously. My grades in RI aren't too bad, but I know I can do better. Much better. There's really nothing much to say about this, will just have to try to push myself harder and try to stop slacking.

Of course, to help this, my second resolution might help:

(2) STOP PLAYING COMPUTER GAMES

This is going to be VERY hard to upkeep, and most probably I won't totally give it up, just attempt to lessen my play time, but if rumours are true, JC doesn't give you time to relax so much. I really and seriously do not mind giving up like DotA, but I need something else to fill the time, like going out or doing some social activity.

To do that, here's my third resolution:

(3) GO AND GET A LIFE

Nothing so resolute or extreme, but I need to expand my social circles. Also need to improve on how I deal/work with people: to be specific, strangers. Another cliche concern is that I've never been in a co-ed school before, nor do I know many girls, so yeah, the opposite gender remains a mystery to me.

To aid in that one, we have:

(4) STOP SAYING STUPID THINGS

To be honest, I find that there's nothing wrong in saying stupid things. I rather be honestly unknowing than pretending to know something I don't.

e.g. sorbet =|= misspelling of sherbet

But I could do with some expansion of my general knowledge too.

Time to sleep. Once again, I wish myself a happy sixteenth birthday!

*edit: MY GOSH this is probably my first birthday that more than 10 people (family aside) actually REMEMBERED and wished me. Even Benni posted something for me and Leonard! I'm so touched T.T =DDDDD.
