in comparison to the previous years, this birthday was without a doubt one of the most well spent. so i thank you, to the people who blindfolded my paranoid and frightened self across orchard, my sis and mom for the best mexican food, elaine for "this cost half your pay" shirt, grandma for the angbao, the people at work for being decently pleasant, alicia for "eileen where are you now? can you come down, im downstairs", and not forgetting the list of people who text me. so the year proves once again that simplicity surpasses extravagance anytime. to all mentioned or not i truly appreciate the gesture.
