Uncle Zai got me this. Nano ok!!
My parents sent me to school for the first time today. They're going to the cemetry after sending me. My uncle went with us though. He accomodated in my house for a couple of weeks already and he gave me an iPod Nano as a birthday gift early in the morning before we set off. I was like WOW!!!
Then while dad's driving along the expressway, we heard from Traffic Watch that there's a massive jam ahead. I was like thank God my parents sent me to school today. Dad took a detour to avoid the jam. I was lucky that I didn't board the usual bus that I took everyday otherwise I'll have to stand in the bus while waiting for the jam to recede.
Heard that the jam was rather a serious one. All roads are closed at BKE. This is the first time I heard of a jam in SLE/BKE eversince my school shifted to Woodlands. Slow traffic's been progressing at the alternative route. Because everyone is trying to avoid the jam. Some of my mates who took the bus got stuck in the jam while others took the earlier buses. Even my facilitator got stuck in it too.
In school this afternoon has been a really busy one for me.. The class had to do a story on different genres. Rather fun. I like it... But it needed a lot of brainstorming. Today is the first time in history that class ended early. As early as 1445! Maybe it's because Ms Janine reminded us to manage our time wisely. But can't go home after that because of Understanding Test at 1615!
I rushed home after UT. Walked to the interchange with Rabiah, Song and Ronald. Took the bus with Song. Luckily the queue wasn't long and the bus arrived minutes after. When I got home, I took a shower and get changed. Ready to go out.. :D
Fetched my aunt near her house at Simei and after that went to the airport to fetch my sis. Her flight landed at 1920 and hence we arrived late at the food house. Uncle Sawal and his family was already there so they booked a place at the CCK Rasa Istimewa food house for all 11 of us. We're there to actually celebrate my birthday. There were many surprises installed for me. I've never been that happy before for a long time. Today was a great day.
Parents gave this :)
Earlier at home, my parents gave me this urban green Seiko watch which I really like from before. Kinda embarassed when the whole gang sang a birthday song for me. I was touched and very joyful! Even though they're my stepmom's family, they treated me as part of them. My birthday's not today but it's on Monday. Since my parents will be working, this is an advance birthday celebration.
Girl Power!
The whole gang!
I had a great time eating cakes and good food..! Thank you! Thank you all!!
