More photos of presents for my 20th birthday!

Zc's present for me! Don't know why but I kinda expected that he'd buy me a book! Just didn't know what book he'd get me, haha ;) Turns out it's about the 5 Love Languages! Did their test online and found that my dominant love languages were Quality Time and Receiving Gifts (they were tied at the top spot). Hope I'll have time to read it this recess week! Otherwise I'll have to wait till summer break already ):

It's useful for people to know what your dominant love language(s) is(are)! Well and it'd obviously do yourself good when you know more about yourself too right, haha. This way, people know which are the platforms through which you're more likely to feel like you're loved. They'll know how to express their love for you so that you can take it in the best way possible (: If you're interested, you can click here to take the test so they can tell you your love language out of the five options. It's a little lengthy though, but as with personality tests, don't take too long to answer/ponder about the questions, haha.

From px!! Hehehe I bet she knows I like pink so she got the pink one for me. So cute of her!!

Some afterthoughts now that I've hit the big 2:

An excerpt of the most thoughtful birthday message I've ever received in my 20 years of life:
"You've been through much. You've known loss, you've known failure. But that has shaped you to be who you are today, stronger, genuine and faithful. These are traits that are built to last; they are gems you have that no external value should ever be allowed to diminish or steal the limelight from; you are special and you are beautiful from the inside out. These people around you are those who appreciate that beauty, thank God for placing the many people who are there for every tomorrow."
To my smu darlings;


Thank you daddy zc! You don't know how happy I am to have you in my life. Your messages are forever the most touching, and it seems like I've known you for my entire life even though it's only been a sem and a half (': Feei was so sweet too- she was the first one who wished me happy bday right when the clock struck midnight (: She's always there for me, like how I'll always be there for her (: Nat, who knew it was my birthday and fb messaged me 'cause he didn't have my number.

Hongda, who wished me after his CT video-chat meeting ended. Sungyeh, who drove the westies along for the surprise.

Peixuan and Chloe, the cutest girls whom I'm glad to have known since oikos camp. Forever making me laugh :D Amelia, for being so thoughtful and my lovely blog reader hehehe ;)
