21
Well apparently I'm 21, however, I don't really feel older. I've never really been a huge fan of birthdays, or making a big hoo-ha over them. As a result, I celebrated my 21st birthday anniversary (which was on Sunday) by going to work in the morning, having 2 AIESEC meetings in the afternoon and then having dinner with my parents. Sure I'll be having a party and all that, but I've been so lazy organising it that it's going to be a month belated.
Thanks heaps to everyone who made my birthday special, though. Especially that girl for raising the bar 10-fold. Thanks so much, I can't begin to express how special everything that you've done is.
Thanks to everyone who signed the book or sent in a message/photo. Thanks to everyone who's given me a present, they're all really nice.
So far my birthday haul includes:
- July National Conference delegates fee: $335
- 21st birthday party costing up to $1000
- $500 cash
- a blue bath towel
- 2 pairs of CK boxers
- 2 packets of Mach 3 Turbo shaving cartridges
- Haruki Murakami - "Blind Woman, Sleeping Willow"
- Haruki Murakami - "Birthday Stories"
- 6 Royal Doulton whisky tumblers
- a Head LiquidMetal 140 squash racquet
- a black 30Gb iPod Video
- a white Rescued Timber picture frame
In other news, I polished off Chomsky's "Failed States" and I have some thoughts that I'll post soon. I'm reading some Penguin shorts that I picked up for 50c each at the Uni Bookshop.
And today's squash session was freakin' topsy-turvey. After losing to Jing 9 - 0 in the first game, I managed to actually beat Thomas 9 - 0 !!!! I'm still getting over it. I think the T-man was a bit off his game, a bit tired and not concentrating because he dropped another 6 points to me in the next game (which I lost 9 - 6). So, although I failed to beat Jing at numerous attempts, and only beat Thomas once out of numerous attempts... I am freaking happy. I wonder if I'll ever be able to beat him again, I'm thinking that he's thinking "don't count on it!"
