The Special Day!
YO! To all who made the effort to attend my 21st birthday bash: THANK YOU ALL for making it so special and memorable. I don't think i would forget 25th Sept 2009.
Celebrating 21st to some is just another birthday, or worse still, another day. But to me, it's special, as it is a time for me to reflect on my life, setting some goals and deadlines. In short it's very authentic to me.
So I recklessly booked a 3 days 2 nights chalet and get the food ready at the eleventh hour. To make matters more exciting, I hold the coveted BBQ event on a Friday evening, when majority of my friends are busy with their work. As oddly, exams and unit events are usually stipulated right smack in the middle of late Sept!
Therefore, it was such a great encouragement to witness 50 over guests turning up to celebrate with me. Never do I expect to see so many people from different walks of life (don't know whether appropriate to use this expression) to surround my tiny J20 BBQ pit. The crowd is so overwhelming that I do not know how to cope, for I'm not a trained public speaker or am taught well on crowd control and management.
Due to my inadequacy, one could see how I frantically scurrying around trying to serve food and make everyone feel at home. On a side note here, i will like to apologise for not being a good host.
Seriously, i did enjoy myself, from
-trying to start a fire,
-BBQ food,
-setting up the place,
-bringing out the frozen food,
-coordinating and planning my own cutting of cake,
-smsing and picking up calls and directing to J1920,
-smiling and taking different groups photos,
-playing pranks (cake smashing)
-clearing up the place,
-forever entertaining people
-serving people
-wrestling,
-watching phobia 2 with my bunkmates(screaming like a mad dog in the theatre!)
-sleeping with 13 men.
All this experiences are only possible with your presence! Thank you once again, all who participated in Luke's 21st growing up party. May God bless us in the years to come.
