21st Birthday Celebration

I have never really been much of a party kind of girl. I would love a fancy birthday party but I have never planned one because firstly, it's a waste of money in my opinion and secondly, I have no idea what I will do if I ever hold my own birthday party.

So like every other year, my birthday this year is mainly spent with my family. It has always been a thing for my family to go for dinner buffets to celebrate our birthdays.

Initially I wanted to choose something simple but my beloved brother wanted somewhere air conditioned. Therefore my dad settled for Kublai Khan Mongolian BBQ Restaurant.

This was taken by my mum and I was actually not ready at all for this shot but luckily it turned out fine.

One thing I love about this place is the fact that they have Chilli Crab for their buffet. The Chilli Crab may not be so good but I'll close one eye on that because it's crab. My love for crab is indescribable. But the Mantou buns are superbly good. So softtttt makes me feel like I'm munching on babies' butt hahaha

Just look at the amount of food we took before breaking our fast hahaha we took more later on.

Finally 21.

To many more years of growing wiser and happier.

Turning 21

Being 21, people expect that you kinda got your life figured out. For me, I'm still figuring. Slowly, but surely. I know one day, I will figure my life out. Or probably never will. Because life is just full of surprises.

I had an advance birthday celebration with my maternal side just now. We are all smiling and laughing with one another. However, if you look closer, you will be able to feel the sadness in our laughs.

We all definitely miss Atuk.

My aunt was born on 11 July and I was born on 12 July. 

We are a day apart, but I'm sure I was the best birthday present for everyone at one point of time.

Dear Self,

You are growing older. May you be wiser and happier. You are independent, not a loner. You are not arrogant, you just want to engage yourself in the right company. You are not aimless, you are just adventurous and trying out all sorts of things before settling down in life. You are longing for love ever since Atuk passed away because he was always the one showering you with love, but have faith and continue to believe that one day love will come to you.

Love, Yourself.
