Alright, so I realised that I was so busy last year with shoots and work that I didn't have the time to sit down and write about how my 22nd birthday went down. I am gonna try and keep this one short.

For most people, their 21st would be the most memorable birthday. Well not for me though, my 21st was just like any other days. Honestly, my birthday feels like any other day to me. I don't really find anything special with it. Every year, I just sit down with my family to blow out a cake. I don't do parties.

But my 22nd was celebrated a little differently though. First off, I was surprised at work two days in advance by my bosses (Xinde and Brandon), and two regulars (Tabby and Xinxuan). Brandon told me that it was Xinxuan's birthday and passed me a cake and tasked me with singing the birthday song when she came back from the toilet. But the plot twist was real when they directed the birthday song at me instead. I'm not going to lie, but that I was genuinely touched and surprised. Nobody's ever given me a surprise birthday ever, so this was a first for me.

That weekend, my workplace was having a Halloween themed event as well (3 days after my birthday), but I thought why not celebrate my birthday alongside Halloween as well. Just to give my life a little change, I invited some close friends to come down and have some fun. And since they were having a dress up competition, I decided to go down as the simplest thing - Joker. My sis did my makeup. Honestly, it was zero effort put in. I merely did it because my bosses kept telling me to dress up. But because the competition was based on how loud the cheers you received were, and since I brought the largest group... I ended up winning the $150 vouchers, much to the discontent of many.

p.s. if you were wondering how I spent the $150 vouchers, I brought my family and Jodie down for a meal sometime last December.

p.s.s. here's a side story. Randell left early and dropped me a text after saying he left a gift on the chair. He didn't specify which chair, so I assumed it was the chair at Chug Chug. I spent the next 30 minutes frantically trying to find where the gift could possibly be, where exactly did he hid it. It was only after, which he revealed that it was on the sofa in my house. Seriously though.
