eeks,i think i'm most guilty of gluttony out of all the 7 sins. realised that i'm gonna tip the scales at 58 kg very soon if i dun curb my food intake. last last fri just went to four seasons hotel for a dinner buffet to celebrate faliq's birthday, ate till i was in such great discomfort i had to sit in the hotel lobby for half an hour. overstuffed myself that it took me 3 hours before i felt normal. was a vicious cycle of bloatedness and thirst, drinking water to quench it only served to swell me up further... horrible.in the end had to take a taxi home, dun think could survive a bus ride. the following week in hk wasnt much better, poultry meat was amazingly fat, ate fast food, dim sum and a lot more. and i went for jianyu's birthday celebration just now.
jianyu happy 21st birthday!!! i have no idea the party would be that huge. its really amazing that there were so many people- pri sch, sec sch, jc, basketball ppl, army ppl, family, wah, i think got around 100 ppl. and the cake was the best, its the largest cake i've ever seen in real life!! haha its about 1m in diameter i guess? managed to catch up with daryl, who was from my bmt section. realised that the scouties dun meet up so often as much as the signalers, as such they seem to have a lot of catch up on, and its quite fun seeing them getting along fine and dandy. sets me thinking a lot about my own platoon and my own bday celebration, assuming that i even have one considering that i'd prob have to celebrate it at least 1 month in advance which makes it lose its significance. i used to think that 21st birthdays are just over-commercialised and over-hyped like valentine's day, but somehow tonite has changed my mindset slightly. the 21st birthday does seem like an important milestone that marks the transition from adolescence to adulthood, and celebrating it gives one a good opportunity to gather friends and family together for a big makan session, not forgetting the ang pows and presents and food and cock-talking. nonetheless, i also feel that its just another ordinary birthday, and i dun think i can handle all the attention, it would be quite unbearable.
and there comes the question of who to invite, and surely there would be some that u have to call as well simply out of courtesy. had there be a day in my life where candour is given free reign, i would probably offend a lot of people out there,but thats not the point. seems that it simply would not do to invite only those you feel like inviting isnt it? firstly if u only include those close friends, it somehow doesnt feel very proper number-wise, but if u extend the circle of invitation, there comes the problem of having the entertain all of them, which would be difficult. haiz, seems like im complicating matters for nothing.its not as if im gonna celeb it or what, but i still cant help but fantasise abt it.quite interesting haha.think i shall just take things as they come. and i need to upload the hk pics soon, but must find the drive ( in me) to do so. hope to be able to recall what i did in HK and shenzhen. learnt that some revelations are better left unknown at times, they only make me so sad i cant seem to pick myself up.
