"what r u doing here?" i asked n his reply was tt he wanted to go to my hse. *huh?!* w/o further a do, he started to sing a bdae song inside the lift! he also gave me a "mr bean" bear tt is wrapped up with toliet paper. i turned speechless as i was so touched tt i almost wanted to hug him but i didn't *heez* n all i did was to thanks him. anw upon reaching my hse doorstep, i cld feel the sense of emptiness. my dad was watching the tv, mum was aslp in the rm, bro n sis were playing their game. no one even wished me hapi bdae only until i asked for it from my little sis. but nvm cos i know this will happen. as i went back to my rm, i opened up the plastic bag n found a little handmade card with the same bear printed on it! *wah* as i read on, tears flowed down my cheeks, i was really very touched by what ivan had done n of course what all my frens had done for me n on the other hand, i was feeling a bit upset cos my family simply did nth. "but nvm madel, don't b greedy, at least u know tt all ur frens rmb u n care abt u~" this was what i told myself, cos i know tt this is my special day, a brand new start of a yr, when i shd start afresh n forget all the unhappy memories n b happy... i want to b who i was in the past when i was younger -> a cheerful n carefree gal! so tt's all folk! it's time for me to log off n slp as i have work tml... once again *thankz to all my frens, b it those who celebrated my bdae with me or those who bother to msg n wish me a swt hapi bdae. i really really really enjoyed myself.
