like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

my special 18th.

Tata just came up in front of my house this afternoon with a box of sushi and.. a shoes box. I asked her what was that and she said: "your birthday present!".. she left after I thanked her and her mom. It's what I longed. haha.


I think this year is my best birthday. Though it's quite late posting about my birthday - but, really, I love my birthday :P

Unlike my friends who got extra pocket money, or anything they want when they got good 8s and 9s on their report card.
I used to with accepting no present or gift at all on special days; my birthdays, christmas, or any other day when I achieved something good. I didn't even celebrate it with my friends like in restaurants or what.

So, this 18th birthday of mine, was something really special. I didn't expect any birthday presents. All I needed was my closest friends.

That's why I celebrated it with my closest friends, and, what made it special was I GOT PRESENTS. and all is what I craved for so long. haha. I got a green architecture book. I've been wanting it for years I just couldn't buy it because I had no money. Adidas sport cloth that is so damn comfortable and cool. And Puma shoes. What I wanted and I needed for months. hahaha.


I was just so grateful. This year's gonna be great! :D

thanks guys :)
