9th July

What was I doing at 6.04 pm? I think I was walking along Bishan Street 11 with Crystal and the other SJ people.... And it's at that exact time 18 years back that I went from foetus to infant, to put it unromantically, after starting out as a puny zygote and building up from there...

Quite old eh... 18... Allows one to do many more things, as the church people pointed out although given that MOE chews up most of my time (and I spend the remainder sleeping or on the comp) I won't be learning how to drive or anything soon.. heheh... And of course, many things to thank God for over the years.

For allowing me to emerge from delievery in one piece (for those who are unaware, I had a near fatal experience in my first couple of seconds after birth heheh ask me about it if you want to know more)

For allowing me to emerge from the above mentioned incident with all my faculties intact

For a couple of siblings and a couple of parents, with which I didn't manage to irritate myself (or them) to death, although it was a near thing in early primary, as my sister would tell you =Pp Although needless to say everyone gets along much better nowadays

For sticking me in Kong Hwa and being traumatised by a variety of teachers into becoming someone with a semblence of responsibility and awe of authority (flying books!)

For landing me in St. John, the ultimate life changing experience (until I go to NS I think)

For bringing me to CCC, the even-more-ultimate life changing experience

For the people I have met, the annoying ones like **** **** but more importantly, a host of good friends, squadmates, classmates, church people and the like that have given me (a lot )^infinity of enjoyment etcetc

Oh yes, and in case I haven't made this clear enough in previous posts, I really value the friendship, care and concern, laughter, lameness etc which the above mentioned have given me =) and thanks so much to those who talked or SMS-ed your good wishes. My apologies to my SJ-ers, with whom I couldn't go out to dinner with today also...

Alright, that concludes my birthday post... I'll blog about N-comp in the near future too... goodnight! (SLEEP EARLY IF YOU WANT TO CATCH THE WC FINAL!)
