Just had my 21st birthday celebration 3 weeks ago and I'm so glad it happened! After months and months of planning, anxiety and nervousness, everything was so worth it. I had a great time that night!
It was held at a beautiful resort named Treehouse Villas @ Changi. Its by far the best "chalet" I've ever been to. The service is good and the place is awesome. The spiral staircase in the living room already won me over at first glance. I've always had a thing for spiral staircases. Hehe.
Favourite corner of the decorations!

Evelyn, my buddy who unleashed the craziness in me. We have so much in common! Hehehe. They say I'm 5 years in working towards becoming like her. Oops.
At the end of the night, at 3am, I opened all my presents!! All my friends and colleagues know me so well. I love every single present I received!
An update on my driving lessons: I've already done six lessons and will be completing module 1 on my next lesson! I now have better control of the manual car! The feeling of changing gears according to the sound of the engine.. I understand why some people are into cars now.
Lastly, on love: Apparently, it didn't work out the way I expected it to be. And yeap, it was truly too good to be true. I took it quite hard on myself at the start when I was hanging on a thin line, not knowing when I'm going to fall. After going through all the helplessness and unnecessary assumptions, I woke up. I realised I deserved better,
Realizing I deserved better was the first step to receiving it. It’s better to have nobody than to have someone who is halfway there, or doesn't wants to be there. The moment I decided to set myself free, I became so much happier. Ain't nobody got time to wait like a fool for an answer that is never coming. I'm moving on. We all deserve to be with someone who says hell yes. And I'm not settling for less. Life is too short to wait for somebody to act right.
Although it's a pity how this relationship ended, I still believe everything happens for a reason. He came into my life as a blessing, and left as a lesson. I don't regret it, and I don't hate him. There were good memories which I'll keep it in my heart, and as for the bad memories, I have a bad memory anyway.
Loss; is the returning of what never actually belonged to us in the first place.
