12:42 AM

many apologies for the delayed post.

exams ended last wednesday and schools officially over!

hence, the time for this post!

and so, Shaniszah Jamaruddin has turned in TWENTEEN ONE!

a matured young adult. haha.

young yes. adult, yeah by age, matured? far from it :P

so let me take you back to the awesome date of 29 January 2010.

where a whole bunch of people i trusted blatantly lied to me in my face (:

but it was the sweetest thing to start Chapter 21.

prior to 29 January 2010.

the plan WAS (this was the lie that i was told. hence the past tense.)

to meet dear Danial, to attend his friends' BBQ pit WHICH (here's the best part)

i went with him to book about two weeks before this date.

i confidently choose the PIT 21.

simply because 19 and 23 were taken,

thus i thought we should take 21 so 20 and 22 would be empty, hence more space.

two days before this date, i even went to accompany him to buy 5Kg of Chicken Wings.

thinking that his mom wanted the family to have chicken the whole week!

29 January 2010

had a really boring day in school. was supposed to decide which Fossil Watch i should choose.

something i got into BIG TROUBLE for, as i couldnt make up my mind the night before.

sheeeeeesh. (it's my bday present hor :P )

so i decided to ask Aqilah, and Lina, Michelle & Rod tagged along, to accompany down to the Fossil Boutique to choose a suitable watch for myself (:

Apparently Anitha had plans with her bestie at JP, Farna went to meet her bf, Adila had to rush somewhere. and Aznin kept asking me where i was going - And no, i didnt find anything amiss.

As usual, i took darn long to decide which one would be better. but yeahh.

I decided on one after sometime. I should be heading down to meet Mr Danial, but

he told me he was lazy to go for the pit, told me he wanted to sleep and all other stuffs.

which i FELL FOR. totally.

while waiting for him to decide whether to go or not,

i decided to delay the time for everyone (:

went to buy bubble tea. look around various shops.

till a point of time when it was time to leave,

i realised i was the ONLY ONE leaving.

SUDDENLY, my no-plans-friends had plans...

Qix meeting her parents to go granny's place - of cse i wudnt doubt that.

Lina was waiting for her friend there - something normal for Lina, since it was Friday

Rod also was waiting for a friend there - normal sneaky thing for Rod.

& Mich left earlier to meet Nicholas.

sadly, i left to meet dear boyfriend at Tampines since he told me he took 168.

reached tampines, i waited for him to meet me at the platform since we were

heading towards Pasir Ris.

and the wait was quite long.

so Mr Boyfriend decided to show up ((:

and we headed towards Pasir Ris together.

at the PR stn, he said it was too early to head to the pit.

so he decided we should walk to there.

along the way, we bought Chicken Wings from OCK

and sat at the Town Park to finish the snack as well as the bubble tea.

before heading towards the pit.

halfway, someone called him.

and he spoke English to that person.

it didnt came to me as a surprise if i was on the other line!

but this was definitely weird..

so i decided to ask him. and he told me that it was Hanis.

even completed the story saying that Hanis and him normally talk in English.

i was trying really hard to recall the moments we met his friends, but i decided to drop the issue.

and so we walked.

and walked.

okay, the journey took darn long BECAUSE!

i refused to walk across the grass.

(its late, and we never know what's crawling in there!)

while walking, dearest asked several questions.

and then he blurted out that he planned a surprise for me on sunday.

was A LIL upset that he decided not to stop talking.

seriously. i really rather not know it. but my dear, being his NORMAL self,

decided to be honest, just at a wrong timing (:

so we walked.. and suddenly...

he closed my eyes - again a normal stunt of his

(it was a lil test of ours, to see how much the other trust the one blindfolding him/her)

and so we walked a lil before i struggled cause we were on the grass (yes paranoid me)

and i thought i saw someone familiar that stands out from the crowd

we were heading towards ;]

(yes the state of my eyesight played the crucial role, cause till this point in time, i still didnt notice the faces of the people in the crowd)

and as we walked closer..

the big big surprise came that overwhelmed poor lil me.

(though my big big birthday cake wasn't readily lighted :P)

hahaha YES anitha, i teared. again.

apparently, Dearest Boyfriend planned the whole surprise party a whole month before

the date itself. he invited the people, get the friends to help him with it. and even

got his Mom, Granny, Uncle and God knows which other family members to help him out

with the food and such. he was running all over the island to make sure that

things were where its supposed to be... (:

haha. it makes the whole thing great cause it was something i dreamt of having.

a gathering of all the people close to me.

my dear boyfriend, my lovely best friends, my closest friends in school, the NCC clan...

two representatives of the Titans and SMYC came... people who are important to me.

sad that Nurul, Adila, Shakthi and Shalini couldnt make it.

but the rest made up for their absence.

the NCC clan (:

dearest poly friends (:

my most awesome birthday cake! (: - thanks dear!

my bestest friend of 14years and counting (:

my favourite PPG (minus Roopi) plus Cool Gang Representative (:

Shopping Moments (: - I REALLY LOVE THIS PIC. credits to photographer :P

the 2 Titans Representatives (:

21 and me (:

got smashed by cake. took photos. had lotsa laughs.

got smoke smell all over. and loads of other nice things.

all thanks to ultimately my very own, Muhd Danial (:

i really didnt expect that from him. and i really think it was very sweet of him,

to plan everything out for me. going through all that trouble and the amount

of time, effort and not to mention money taken to pull all that together...

no words i type here can express what i trully felt at that moment,

even till now...

thank you sweetheart. i really appreciate you gg thru all the trouble

to make my dream party coming true. i love you (:

so thats all for the 29th January 2010.

how did i spend my birthday on the actual date? (:

ermm.. i went for a camp from the 30th Jan - 31st Jan.

NYC Recruitment Camp with dear Danial, Charles Chua, Diniy, Shaoning and teacher.

the camp was AWESOME.

though i didnt really like the venue, but the facilitators were great!

did lotsa team bonding games, learn lotsa stuffs about leadership,

know more about the various youth groups there are and the list goes on..

HIGHLIGHT.

my dearest boyfriend was by my side when the clock strikes 12.00am (:

when chapter 20 began, he accompanied me on the phone and later

spent the whole day with me.

now Chapter 21, he made it a point to be with me starting from 2days before

the date itself ((((:

during the camp itself, my sweet team mates went out to get me a slice of

delicious chocolatey chocolate cake ((: and then i had another whole cake

which i had to cut in front of all the participant of the camp (:

back at home on the same day, my two dearest friends, Nurul and Adila

came by my house to surprise me with a birthday cake and present.

and guess they got the shock instead :D

hahaha since i wasnt at home on my birthday, instead,

i was in camp. but thanks guys, you guys are great. seriously.

with all these,

i realised that i have a lot of hi-bye friends.

really like alot. but at the end of the day,

this very few bunch of them that matters most to me

and are with me till now (:

and i'm thankful for that. honestly.

Chapter 21 has officially begun.

and i got a taste of a lil freedom and being an adult tonight,

with the one and only Nurul.

haha, its really not a very big deal.

its not like i got drunk, or like not come back home - else i wun be blogging ;)

its just that, we attended another close girlfriend's birthday party, Shalini.

(well the experience felt more like we planned to go for clubbing..

to Danial - no dear, i sat on the chair the whole time. honestly. it just feels like we were)

and so, we made plans in the afternoon.

asked each other what we were going to wear (typical girls.. )

and Nurul was supposed to pick me up at 1945hrs - yeah she drives

(like as though we knw we're gg to club till late, so personal transport neccessary)

and my dear Nurul didnt notice the time and was running late.

she picked me up at 2100hrs instead.

2 girls. 2 GPS systems.

but still we got lost.

after a while, when we decided to ask for directions,

then we found the place :D

and well, it was naturally crowded already since we came 2hrs later.

but we didnt really know anyone there except the birthday girl herself.

made couple of friends with the ex-TKGians and sat and ate ((:

den Shakthi, Leonard and Fallu came. so our circle of company got bigger (this was alrd like 10.45pm - past my curfew timing obviously)

shots of alcohols were passed around. hahaha. it was funny how some of them

had too much drinks already. it was kinda obvious when they started to dance

as though no one else could see them. yeahhhh..

so it got a lil uncomfortable (:

so at 11.20pm Nurul and I made our escape to get home (:

and then guess whaaaat...

her CASH CARD had no money. and we couldnt top up

cause nurul didnt bring her wallet and i brought an ATM card with no

sufficient amount of money left. goshh. so we couldnt top up.

and nobody wanted to borrow us their ATM so we could top up and

like pay them in cash.

so we like PANIC!

haha but then, the manager came to our rescue

and validated her cashcard for her and hence we got out

of the place safely :D

thats was about 1145pm already.

in the car was damn cool. it was just the two of us,

catching up with one another about the stuffs we've missed out.

and it was just oh-so-nice ((:

guess being 21 isnt that bad...sometimes (:

it depends on who i'm with i suppose.

a lil message to my dearest Muhd Danial..

the one responsible for a great 21st,

the one and only,

Muhd Danial Bin Ramli.

thank you for all that you have done so far. i know i'm not easy to be with.

(haha same same no difference :P)

but congratulations! you've survived all this time.. haha.

but seriously, i really appreciate the things you did for me.

the number of troubles you got into, and even the disheartening moments that might

have broke us if you werent willing to go through it all. thank you once again

for opening Chapter 21 with me, and hopefully for many more Chapters to come.

Things wouldnt get any easier as this journey continues,

but i really do hope we'll get through it together.

thank you for seeing me for who i am when i was invisible to many,

thank you for showering me with all the love and care.

also, thank you for teaching me what it is like to be loved,

to be in love, and to love.

I love you dear (:

.i wanna change for the better.
