Flashes of my 21st birthday just came to my mind.
It was more of the preparation part that came to mind. I remember going to Pasir Ris with my Aunt Agnes to buy some door gifts and drinks for the party at the chalet. I don't know why, but it's sort of a tradition in my family to hold 21st birthday parties in a chalet.
I remember the customised cake from Cedele - in the shape of a cow. I was about to take a bite from my share when I had to say bye to my guests who were leaving and the cake was gone when I went back for it. I didn't taste my own birthday cake!
I remember Jinny & Rayner being the earliest and we played mahjong together.
I remember I was sweaty and sticky from being so busy taking care of my people. My calves muscles ached that night, from walking too much.
I remember being really happy and honored by those who turned up for me. The gifts didn't hurt either.
