My 20th Birthday!!! ♥

By Gillian Yoong ♥ - Monday, April 23, 2018

Yoooo it's been a while now! To start off, my 20th birthday was a rather indelible one even though I detest the fact that my birthday is at the start of the year, 2nd January. However, my birthday this year in a way kick-started the year well and in short, my heart is full and I feel blessed with abundance.

I wouldn't wanna be too draggy with my introduction, so let the photos do the talking, shall we!

I was actually quite busy going around socialising and ensuring everyone was comfortable and had food to eat, I totally forgot to take photo HAHA! And my dear Valerie decided to randomly snap some photos of me, insisting it was nice. Thank you bb girl, because of you I have a nice shot of myself to post on my birthday!!!!!! <3

I shall start the blog post in chronological order!!!

First came my super punctual Pokka Jasmine green tea!!! <3 She damn cute, she actually squeezed all these balloons in the cab and called me to fetch her cuz she needs help HAHA! I didn't expect her to buy all these balloons either, and she also helped to buy some drinks for me... T.T My poor girl, I love you so much. Thank you!!! Cheers to our 7 years of friendship! <3 
I can't help but keep laughing at this shot HAHA SHE LOOKS SO ADORABLE LA!!!! Btw I was also helping to carry some stuff just that I couldn't help but take a photo of her haha! Don't beat jiejie pls.
My fresh bouquet of flowers specially delivered to my chalet by @floralgaragesg <3
I chose the African Champagne bouquet, just look at its beauty and elegance. Magnificent.


They also offered a complimentary card for you to craft your messages to your loved ones, and for me, I told them to simply write a message for me haha! So sweet of them! <3

 They are extremely efficient in their delivery process. I had them deliver this bouquet to my chalet and because I wasn't there yet, they called me on my phone and asked if it was possible to leave the flowers at the reception for me to collect when I reached. They were punctual, efficient and their service is excellent.

Do take a look at their website: www.floralgaragesg.com 

Thank you my Jasmine green tea for helping me to take photos hehe!
Next up, my precious maid came. Before that, I want to say something.
She sent me this on 9th December, out of the blue. Don't know what she blabbering about sot one HAHA that was what I thought. And then.... 
These decorations you see here, the Happy Birthday, the banner which I'm wearing, the big 20 balloons, the 12 cupcakes box, (she bought 16 cupcakes what the heck right), the cupcake display stand, she freaking hell bought of all these, for me. She still went the extra mile to buy me a birthday present, (the blue floral gift wrap).

I didn't expect any of these. To be honest, I always don't take her seriously. HAHA! SHE ALSO DOESN'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. That's why this came as a huge surprise to me. I've known her for 7 years as well, and she has never done anything to pleasantly surprise me before. The things she always surprises me with are flying my aeroplane and going MIA you stupid maid.

Thank you and I really really love you!!!!! T.T
Look what the shit she's doing. Holding a real knife at me!!!! Sums up our friendship...
HAHA

After that Limin and Qiqi came!!!! So I was at the back trying to help out with the BBQ food, and then I see my friends gathering at the table here to help my maid aka Ashvinder with the decorations.... T.T My heart really xiaotouched..... Thank you so much!!! 
So much love for y'all....
So this is the final setup!!!! The lighting doesn't do justice to the setup I swear... All this hard work, all the little gifts, and everything, what makes me really happy isn't all these material things, but the fact that my friends made these efforts just for me. I'm beyond contented and blessed.
One sad thing is I was too busy going around, I forgot to take a photo of my birthday cake..... It's so freaking beautiful omg sadded max. Could only make do with this photo. Thank you Vanessa for the cake! <3
All the candid shots of myself by my friends.....

HAHA so this is how stupid I look like making a wish. I still remember when I was younger, like secondary school days I would wish for stupid shits like "I want a boyfriend", "I want to be happy", "actually God I have a lot of wishes but my most important wish is to get a boyfriend". HAHAHAHA I'M NOT KIDDING.

As a grew older, I only have 1 wish and it has been the same wish throughout. I just want everyone to be healthy and happy, that's it. Knowing the fact that my loved ones are healthy and happy makes me contented and I have no need for anything else. People often ask me, what are your dreams and goals? To be honest, I don't really have any dreams or goals, probably just to have my own happy family in the future but quite stupid if I wish "I want to have a happy family" now right haha!

Anyway, I always tell my friends if I die now, I will die with no regrets because I already feel so greatly blessed, highly favoured and deeply loved by those around me, what else could I ask for? I'm so thankful for this life and no matter how many shitty things I go through, what life decides to throw at me, how some people try to tear me down, I am happy. :)

*Secretly wishing for a GPA 4.0*
Next up, photos with all my love ones!!!! <3

My birthday presents!!!!! 
Thank you so much, everyone, even though I always say I don't need any gifts because to me your presence is what matters most.
Okie yes my driving license is my own birthday gift to myself okie can or not it came in the mail just a day before my birthday and I swear it has got to be the best birthday gift ever HAHA! I spent literally all my internship savings just to pay for my driving license and it was quite a tough time for me every month even after intern as I have to always spend a sum of my part time work's savings on my lessons.

Every month eat grass sia haha wa swee finally no need eat grass already. I spent $2.2k in total hahahaha ya life is hard but really quite thankful I managed to pass my tests on my 1st try, be it BTT, FTT or TP test, praise the lord really.

It is a really huge achievement to me because I've always never had confidence in myself and some more book TP test costs $240++ sia heart pain one you know. If fail means another $240++ and additional driving lessons sia cannot fail la I so poor already please haha!

On the day of my TP test I kept laughing and smiling cuz I was really nervous and yah I cannot be serious in serious situations, I tend to laugh one hahaha then my TP tester also ask me why I keep laughing fml. :')
Celebrating my belated and Huiyao's advanced birthday at the Marina Bay Carnival, and thank you Nora for the treat hehe! Oh and the toys they won it for me WEEEEEE!!! XD 

Earrings from my jiejie!!! Thank you jiejie!!!!! <3
Thank you Vivian for this LightBox like she bought this for me so I can like put my name and decor my room with this or use this during my next birthday party or something actually idk but HAHA SUPER NICE, THANK YOU VIVI!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Socks from my dear Fanlei what even HAHA but thank you for your super cute socks that resembles you!!! :')
This is by far the most expensive gift I've ever received in my 20 years of life. An iPhone 8, 256GB. Like in all honesty, I am a very prudent and thrifty person and I hardly spend anything on myself (food is an exception hehe) and I always think twice before I buy something because I know how hard it is for me to earn sufficiently. I hate it when people spend so much on me because I have no idea how can I reciprocate.

My iPhone 6s got stolen early last year and I am currently using a borrowed iPhone 6 from a friend's cousin. It's not in very good condition, quite lag actually but I am extremely contented with what I have already because it's still usable and it serves me purposefully. However, I was blessed with an iPhone 8, 256GB some more by a friend. I don't even know how to feel, thankful yes. Should I be happy or sad because it's so bloody expensive, I can't even afford such luxury. Like if someone were to buy me an iPhone case I would be so thankful, I would appreciate it so much already, this gift is on another level and I'm only 20. I really don't need such material things... Could have used the $$ to do so many more things...

Nonetheless, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. A really thoughtful gift and I appreciate it so much. ^__^
Another should be an expensive gift, a Charles & Keith bag. Thank you Zhenyu and Munwei.... T^T You guys didn't even confirm if you could turn up and yet you guys still turned up with a present for me.... Thank you so much!!!!!!! <3
Guess perfume from Weikang, thank you! :)
This crystal globe from Ashvinder, my super silly friend/maid. I know precious moment's merchandises are not even cheap at all, and she got this crystal globe for me, I know how freaking expensive this costs. I have no god damn idea how much you spent on my birthday but I swear to God it is so unnecessary!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!
You are not even rich (i know your dad is but you're not) hahaha you damn retarded I swear I have no idea what I did for you to go to this extent for me. I'm so thankful for you. I'm so thankful I met you in Choir and I miss the times we were such trolls in school HAHA! I love you so much Ashvinder kaur khaira. Thank you for cherishing me as a friend. :)
The balloons from Jasmine and Ashvinder and it was like this the next morning. I really wanted to bring them home cuz they are gifts from my friends and they brought it here so painstakingly but I know I can't possibly squeeze all these balloons at home cuz my mother would kick me out of the house fml. 
Thanks for everything on the table guys and also the balloons.
My friend made arrangements with the hotel reception to get this done for me secretly too.... Thank you... T^T First time sia.... Sibei touched.
Every year without fail you promised me you'd bake me a cake because I once tweeted randomly in 2014 "Isn't it sweet to have someone bake you a cake for your birthday? I think it's the best gift.".
This year it's something different, it's Nutella blossoms. This is the 4th cake you have done for me. Thank you. :)

Idk which idiot at home (i mean not my parents, either one of my cb bros) go eat my "B'day" and "Gillian" that's why only left with the "Happy" in the photo. Damn annoying sia no joke not funny so many totoros and hello kitties can eat niania wanna eat my B'day and Gillian. -____-'''
To end this post, I just want to say Thank you so much, everyone. To the ones that were and were not here. You guys know how thankful and blessed I am to have you guys as friends in this life. Thank you for always being by my side. Thank you for loving such a dysfunctional person like me haha! Thank you for every single little thing you guys have done for me. I appreciate it so much, you guys know that. I will never take for granted what I have, and I will always be reminded to count my blessings. :) You guys are my blessings. I love you all so much, thank you once again for making my birthday a memorable one. Lastly, I wish for everyone to be healthy and happy always. 

Thank you for reading! Have a great day ahead x
