VINGT

It feels like yesterday I was still sucking on my pacifier. Still wet on my bed. Jumps on the bed every time before I doze off to Lala land. Throws tantrums if I don't get candies or lollipops. Hides under the bed after breaking a vase. Spills rice all over the table. Wears a shirt without having to wear anything else inside. Puts on my mother's stilettos and trips over and over again, pretending like an adult but in reality was only a toddler. Annoys my sister till she turns red. Whose mind was only fixed to play, eat sweets, and watch cartoons. As carefree as a bird with no mind-boggling issues that needed to be settled. Spoiled. Naive. A child. 

Childhood memories have always been my very own priceless  treasure. Locked and kept neatly at the back of my mind and never be forgotten. Sometimes I doubt myself that I have ever grown up. Physically, yes. But internally? That's quite hard to answer. Up to this every moment, I still sleep with my mom. Still cuddle my own version of 'teddy' to bed. My mom and sister still suap me everytime I don't feel like eating by myself. My eldest brother still tickles and geletek and kejar kejar me. My mom still combs my hair for me. Not that I can't do it on my own. But I have gotten use to it. Being the youngest in the family has in a way builds my manja, gedik, mengada and childish character.

Despite all of the above, I can't deny the fact that I have indeed mature, if not a lot, at least a little. In terms of responsibility. Relationships. Thinking.Though I'm not fully mature in a sense that I still have my childish moments, that the people who deal with me still think that they are dealing with a 5 year old. Repeatedly, I've been told to grow up. That my physical growth is not proportionate to my maturity. I don't deny that. Sometimes, I always think that I have indeed matured and all the things that I do are in fact, correct. But the truth is, I'm not. Well, not fully I suppose. Ouh well, growing is not a one day process. We grow by time, and experience. And that's exactly what I'm gonna do. Not by others commands. But by own self, only time can tell.

So, 16th November 2012 marks the end of my childhood and adolescence years. It also marks a  new point of life. The -ty phase. Though I do not know what the future holds for me, be it nice, be it cruel, I hope I can stand strong and face it like a true lady. :)

To everyone who gave me all the lovely wishes, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. May all the good things you prayed for me, would happen to all of you sweet people too. Quoting from my FB status, I would like to wish all the happiness in life to each and everyone of you. And may all of us be showered with His blessings, long life, health and wealth. Ameen. :) And lastly, just bear this in mind (more like convincing myself) : "You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. " ;P,

So, here's a few photos captured by my beautiful sister in law on my birthday celebration. :D

THANK YOU
