second decade of my life

It seems kinda weird that I'm only celebrating my twentieth so late in the year. It's like I've already been 20 for the whole year, and finally officially turning 20 and celebrating it, i'll be telling people I'm 21 this year in less than a month's time! OH MY GOODNESS, that is so scary. THAT MEANS people will officially treat me as an adult soon!

This year I did not have a big celebration, just got a few friends to come over to my place for dinner. Received quite a few gifts, but the best one - - was of course from Mr Sunflower. He is so incredibly sweet. In the morning, he came over to my place to pick me up to bring me to his house to reveal to me what he has prepared.

For the past weeks, he's been telling me that he was busy preparing my gift. So there I was.. waiting to see how much work he has done...

He passed to me a black box with pink embellishments on top, handmade.
I opened the box an staring at my face were two envelopes "Naughty" & "Nice".
He urged me to pick one and open. I opened the envelopes and found two naughty gifts!

There was also a Moleskin organiser. really cool stuff. And also a bottle of M&Ms which says "Keep Away from children M&Ms w nuts Take 1 tablet when depressed. Increase dosage for severe cases"

Here's the climax.

An album he made himself! It was a compilation of photographs and birthday wishes from my friends. Wow. It was not just those friends that he knew, but also some of my secondary school friends that he's never met before. Ah. the power of Facebook. One of the first few pages, I was so surprised to see my kiddy photo here! The one on top shows a 4yearold me in swimsuit. His partner in crime is actually my sister!
Finally, the message from him.
Reading the messages and seeing my older photographs with my friends really made me very touched. I teared when I saw a few messages from people I don't see anymore, but still hold them dearly in my heart. A gift can be expensive but memories (and relationships) are priceless. This album is a precious compilation of my life.

Mr Sunflower, you've brightened up my day once again. Thanks for your hard work and staying up beyond hours to do this.
And also. Thanks to all who have replied to his messages and made me a very happy person!
