Turning 21

(No monday quickies this week!)

Today I turned 21

I feel terrible. I really blame Mr. Wonderful for this. I celebrated my birthday on Saturday.

In summary I ate alot (High Tea Buffet), drank alot (Tequila shot after buffet, two house pour drinks I can't remember and a Waterfall later at night), got dead drunk and suffered the worst hangover the next day.

Up to now I'm still suffering from the lingering effects of my gluttony.

Physically, that's how I feel.

Anyway, on a deeper level, 21 is a huge milestone for anyone. I'm grateful and glad I spent it with loved ones. Truthfully, the weeks leading up to my birthday was filled with excitement and dread. I didn't really prepare myself for this. 

Despite the weeks of anticipation, I'll liken today as having a baby grand being dropped on my head.

I'm 21. So what am I suppose to do? What does it all mean?

(Yep, completely ill-prepared, no wishes, dreams or hopes for the future. The best I did was save my candles and today's newspapers)

I do have some regrets. Like if I can do this day all over again, I'd like to prepare myself.

Don't mind me, I'm just in a melancholic mood.

I just realized I have to start paying taxes now.

Five Things Wednesday

Five Things Wednesday is here and this time its a list of five things I want for my birthday!

Hehe.

First on my list, I'D LOVE TO GO ON A SHOPPING SPREE.
Hee! I don't need to elaborate right??

2. I would really really love to get this awesome Diary by Frankie Magazine.

I mean look at it! I would definitely write in this everyday!

Seriously, this is one gift I really want to get, I may not get a shopping spree or any of the other gifts on my list but I do want this.

3. Since Mr. Wonderful gifted me with a hard cover Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, I think the next book I'd like to be given would be a hardcover, Tim Burton's The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. (PS There's just something about hardcover books I love)

This just one of those books I'd love to own.

4. Okay since I mentioned I had Pride & Prejudice, I'd love to get my hands on Pride & Prejudice DVD.

The one with Keira Knightly please. :D

5. Umm.. A DSLR. :P Okay its asking for too much but a girl can dream right???

So that's my list of things I want for my 21st birthday. :D

Of course I want more than five but if I were given five choices, it would be those 5.

Well apart from the shopping spree and the DSLR, I guess I'm not really materialistic. I think.

I guess the reason why I decided to do my five things on what I want for my birthday,

First reason, I don't want a teddy bear. I already have one.

Second reason, I'm a bookworm.

Third reason, my birthday would be a lot more meaningful if I got the above (not counting 1 and 5). Its hard to explain.

I'm not being thick-skinned in asking for those things. I just believe in giving(and receiving) presents that a person would keep and treasure or is at least useful. Not something they'll throw away after a few years cos after awhile.

Well anyway, umm, that's my list. :D
