HAPPY Pre-BIRTHDAY CAILIN, my dearest sis!

Before I get on to the main topic for the day, let me give you readers some appetizer.

I doubt many of you stay up till 3-4am in the morning, but if you do, try looking out your window from time to time, and a wonderful scenery may just greet you. Yesterday morning, upon waking up from my so-called "late night nap" (it was 3am, for goodness sake), I walked over to the balcony for some fresh air. Have you ever experienced the full moon shining down upon you, with the cool, fresh air blowing against your face, and the added serenity of the silent night environment? I experienced it and I wished that you people were here to do so with me. As much as the scene calmed my my body, it filled my mind with thoughts too. Could it be that my "princess", my "Shinobu", the chosen one of my life that I have yet to meet, is living under the same starry moonlit sky, and enjoying the exact same scene as I am at this very moment?

Saw her in school on Monday, during Organization Theory lecture's break time. Caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye. Out of so many people in the area, how is possible that I could sense her presence? Sigh, I better not think about it too much lest my heart aches once again.

Enough of ramblings and now, for today's top story... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAILIN! I know the actual day has yet to arrive, but this post is my tribute to you! On Monday evening, together with Chai Bak and Wendy (too bad Hanee couldn't make it), we celebrated Cailin's birthday in advance at Sizzler (Suntec Branch). The all-you-can eat salad bar is definitely the main draw of Sizzler, but the partly uncooked dish that Cailin ordered kind of turned me off. No wonder Wendy didn't seem too keen on eating at Sizzler. Oh well, when your birthday arrives next year, we will try to hold a celebration for you and then you will be able to choose whatever restaurant you wish to eat at. :P Other than just celebrating Cailin's birthday, I believed we had a fun time catching up and joking with one another.

My message to Cailin:
Despite all my sarcastic remarks and teasings, you should know that I value you as one of my very good friends, if not the category of "best". I have always been amazed by the fact that we could click so well despite the short time we have known each other. Looking back at my secondary school days, there were classmates whom I spent 4 years with, but spoke to, in total, less than 10 sentences. However, with you, I could speak freely about my "emo" problems, my views and opinions about life... in fact, almost everything under the sun is possible! Thank you for listening to my bitching, ranting and problems patiently all the time; thank you for making my university life less boring and more vibrant; and most importantly, thank you for understanding the person that I am deep down inside.

If we weren't in the same orientation group... If you didn't speak to me during orientation... If we weren't allocated to the same sociology group... If you aren't a person who uses MSN and stays up late... If I didn't meet you at Mediacorp... would things have been different? Life is full of "If's, and looking back makes one wonder how things might have turned out as compared to the current situation.

Lastly, and once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAILIN, my dearest sis!

Our sociology group (missing from picture, Hanee)... To think I would post my ugly mug on my blog... yeah, that is me on the top left

P.S. In relation to the blog topic we discussed over dinner, I have decided to shamelessly promote my blog in hope that you people will post some comments... pretty please, with icing on top? :P
