RAEVILLE

My 18th birthday turned out pretty good. In fact, it turned out to be awesome. I've never felt so thought of by my friends and peers at school and the boarding house.

The moment my 18th year began, I was startled in bed on that very Friday morning, when Melissa woke me up to wish me a happy birthday at 6.30 in the morning. Came tutorgroup time, and Vanessa shouted out that it was my birthday. Fantastic, I thought. I had a band of girls (who I don't really know well!) singing for me - including my tutor teacher. Thanks to Judy Ng, almost the whole school found out that it was my birthday - what with all the shouting and screaming and sticking post-it notes on my back saying "I'M 18 TODAY!".

My boarding mates bought me a chocolate cake, and had all signed a Birthday card for me, which I received on my free/study 5th period back at the boarding house. :)) It was my first ever birthday surprise. I felt so warm inside, and because I'd never been surprised before, I didn't know how to react to everyone. I even forgot to make a wish when I blew the big 18 candle, and also when I put the knife to the cake. I didn't even think about it. What a doofus.

Anyway, I had a great day. It was fantastic. We had Jap dinner (where they throw food at you etc) last night, and that was great. It was all great.

I take back what I said about how unspecial a birthday is. I mean, I really thought that birthdays were just... simply birthdays. They weren't anything very special. Birthdays are basically just the day that you were born on. Is that really worth celebrating? I was proved wrong. I'd honestly never felt so loved on my birthday before.

Oh! Thanks to everyone who wished me on Friday, or any other day. I really appreciated your kind words. To those who forgot, well, let's say I'll let you off this time xD - you've got one year to prepare yourselves.

Cheers! :)

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
