Scars For Me & Souvenirs For You

OFFICIALLY 21!

Hating it, but lets just say the (surprise) party that was thrown for me was a huge consolation and if i hadn't turned 21 it wouldn't have happened! My gorgeous family were behind the entire planning and left me quite clueless. I was told that it was in Sentosa Resort, some sorta bungalow or something. But when we entered Sentosa gateway and they blindfolded me, I kinda had my doubts. Mommy then reassured me that she didn't want me to see the entire bungalow until I got inside. Made enough sense to me, though i was still very much clueless and excited. It seemed like the longest ride in and an even longer WALK to where the "bungalow" was located. Many stairs and stoned walkways, uneven ones too. Amidst all that my dress kept dropping cause it was too heavy and I wore it as a tube dress first by removing the straps which was a huge mistake, cause i have no idea how many people actually saw me adjusting it as i walked to the location of my party. Steph, my aunt and Vish walked me there as my parents voice echoed in the backround. When I got there (still blindfolded) Steph said "the eagle has landed!"

Psyched, i was instructed to remove my blindfold! AND TO MY SHOCK! AND THIS IS NO UNDERSTATEMENT! I was standing on a dock, facing the yacht which was supposedly "the bungalow". I looked all around and the view was out of this world. Rather out of singapore. It was like a scene right out of Laguna Beach or Newport Harbor. I swear! It was so beautiful. What made it even more gorgeous, was the fact that everyone was decked in white/gold/silver (i picked out the theme, which fit so well with the whole party, location wise) and standing on the yacht, looking down on me. Yelling "HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHINAAAA, SURPRISE!!" Everyone that mattered most were there, family and friends. Nothing more I could ask for. I was ushered into the yacht, and what awaited me left me in tears. Orchid petals on the floor, baby/present pictures of me and my loved ones on the walls of the yacht, candles, champagne and the list goes on. I was led to the balcony and the scenery, GORGEOUS beyond words.

You have to be there to know, cause my words won't do no justice. Well, the rest of the night was just classy fun, awesome food and drinks. A beautifully yummy cake, lots of mingling and of course we spent the night/morning on the yacht. I've taken loads of pictures and some videos with the BRAND new Samsung NV4 digi cam my darling sis got me. The birthday on the yacht, my parents gift to me. Spending it with people who mattered, PRICELESS.

Let the pictures speak for themselves...
