April 10, Nineteenth.

My last teenage birthday was simply fantastic!

Everyone acted so hard to minimize my suspicion.

And I think I nearly ruined the surprise. 

About 12am, the typical moment to give one a birthday surprise,

I entered my room and answered a call from friend, which was planned by them so that they could prepare everything.

When I've done talking, I opened the door and saw a crowd in the dark. 

I couldn't even think of what's happening. 'Electricity's out?' I wondered.

Quick reflex. I closed the door and recalled back what did I see just now. 

At the same time, people were screaming outside and banging on the door.

After seconds, I figured out what's going on. 'I see, it's a birthday surprise for me!'

Door reopened, then everybody was looking at me. I stood rooted and jaw dropped because I saw the guys too! I was glad that they were willing to come over and join this.

Mok approached me with a huge cake. When I took a closer look, I saw an Owl on it!! 

It was baked by Ya Theng and Xinyi! Aww. You know how sweet was that? I almost got diabetes!

Candle was lighted up and all were singing birthday song now. But I was still a blur! 

I couldn't really respond! Felt so silly surrounded by all these still considered 'new' friends and standing like an idiot!

A thought echoed, 'Luckily I don't wear my nightgown tonight!'

The cutest cake in my world!

All went downstairs and sang another birthday song and we were like having a party concert! 

Wishes are made. Mok showed me a hand-made colourful birthday card with everybody's wishes and some palm prints on it.
If you noticed, I was putting big sweet smiles on my face, and that was really tiring but I couldn't help myself! I must say, Thank you guys for all the wishes. You guys looked damn serious while writing the card! Darren wrote in chinese! Un and JJ drew me! Ronald folded a paper rose! Hahaha! All little sweet things. 

Followed by the card, I saw a red gift box. It was pretty heavy.

I couldn't wait anymore and so I checked what's in the box.

The mixed feelings I had at that moment.

I took a glance into the box, tears immediately welled up my eyes and rushed out... There was a burned DVD, Vincci watch and Leehom's album!!

YMCA was busy serving the cake and agar-agar (both were credits@ Ya Theng & Xinyi).

No one saw my tears. They didn't even believe that I cried. 

I was just well under control after trained for last couple of months. Lol. So I quickly wiped away the tears and kept smiling as well as laughing to enjoy the joyful atmosphere.

Everybody was talking and singing. 

Some played the keyboard brought from Seremban by Justine. 

My very first time birthday celebration with live music! Unbelievable!! *one of my dreams*

I captured many candid moments for memories and took many pictures with everyone. :)

Music and chat until the middle of the night. Thanks for sacrificing your sleep people.

You guys made my day!

Now, guys had left. Some of the housemates had gone to bed, leaving YMCA. 

Finally it was the time to watch what's in the DVD. 

'The quality is not good, so...' Mok's apology. I was like: Lol. It's not school project or presentation. So it's not about the quality, but the content. ;)

There was something cute in the beginning. 

And all of the housemates' 'confession', they are very cute friends. 

I know everyone involved put effort and heart into this.

Genuinely, I'm moved. Love you all!

This year's birthday was filled with music and laughter and it ended beautifully in karaoke.
I hope everyone had a great time on 10/04/2012.

The names which I should mention here. Thanks to:

Mok (for everything), Ya Theng, Xinyi (for cake and jelly and all), Shin Ting, Jing Hui, Justine, Shu Lih, Yingle, Darren, Novin, Sze Yuan, Prince Ronald, Un, Gordon, Jayjay and Yih Jeng (for the surprise and wishes and present). Yi Teng (for the Owl's long necklace and nude cupcake card), Xin Zhe (for the icecream and fun), Kah Nian (for mental support), Meiji (for motivation and all), and other coursemates.

Special thanks to Mok, of course, who's the main planner for this, who was able to invite an important guest to appear on my birthday, literally?

Other than the hug that night, a BRAVO for you. Thumbs up! :')

I have something to clear up. 

I'm NOT and will NOT be bored with your face wth. 

Even though sometimes both of us are emotional, please forgive one another when anyone of us speak nonsense 'cause we never mean to hurt one's feelings.

We might be mad at each other; we might fight over small matters,

it's better to avoid these, absolutely. 

But if they ever happen, must remember to forgive and forget okay?

We are the future warriors in the battlefield of healthcare!

FIS 2011/12

You guys are all awesome people. 
One of my wishes was: I wish all of us can fight together till the end and be successful. Especially for the future doctors. And the end means retirement.

Comrades, God bless you. <3

Love and hugs,

Carmen The Owl.
