Turning 18 doesn't quite hit you until.... well, until you're yearning to watch an 18+ movie and the thought strikes; "Hey I'm...18!!".

Either that or when you end up celebrating it TWICE.

My Eighteenth Birthday.. Without doubt, my BEST yet.

Thursday started off nice and easy, almost lazy really, with me waking up at every beep of my handphone signaling the arrival of yet another delightful birthday greeting.

We had crab that night. Oh boy, .. It was an absolutely scrumptious dinner. I did though, sustain a minor injury. What happen was, while trying to break off the crab's pincers, I pressed down too hard and the shell sliced into my right thumb. But even though it stung everytime cili padi seeped into the cut and made contact with raw flesh, who, in their right mind would/could turn down CRAB? That, would be plain crazy. Anyway, according to the prosa "Raja Bersiung", blood is suppose to.. ENHANCE the taste of one's dish. Yummm...

Saturday's birthday party was a pleasant surprise. I had no idea! Heh, guess that means the 'surprise' was a success.

A big big big, THANK YOU to my parents, Kak Meera, Stan, Sook Jean, Yeen Lynn, Han Yang & Kok Hou.

P.S: All photos were taken with my Minolta DiMage Z1. It was my dad's actually. He gave it to me that Thursday morning and said that if I had to leave to study abroad, he'd want me to have this with me. God, I had to hold back from tearing up.
