What i love from birthdays... THE GIFTS! :)

"You have great friends."

They say.

The gifts!

Not the maker nor the creator. Yet, the poser.

"You look good," said him.

My almost-10-years bestie :)

They rocked my high school! and.. until college of course. :)

Peeps who rocked my night!

"I'm so blessed knowing you for about one year and more! I like to see your friendliness and your passion in reaching your goals! 

I can see that God is working in your life. Continue your walk with Him!

Be wise, be cool, be careful, be nice, be humble, be awesome, BE VENISHA TJIE! Happy birthday."

Mrs. Spare.

"Thanks for being my best friend for the last 10 years. I've been looking for a good friend for 17 years, and no one can compared to you. Thanks for not being such a hypocrite, thanks for never stabbing my back, you always share everything with me. Including fat. Haha.

Once again, thanks for the friendship. Happy birthday.

A friend is the one who walks in when others walk out."

Mrs. Bitchy. hihi.

I do.

But then again, likes attract likes :)

Give, then you'll be given. 

Invest everything, every time, every day, in your loved ones, 

they'll make your birthday unforgettable :)

I am one lucky 18 years old girl.

Off i go,

Oh.. finally.

I know i should post the best birthday wishes or the most touching ones, or even the gross ones ;p

But the more i grow up,

The more i learn, to NOT make everything about me.

I know i can, and yeah i know i want to. But nope. I'm not gonna.

These came from all the people around me.

They surely made me smile and definitely made my birthday :)

They're irrelevant, but that's the point :)

"I couldn't have done it without God on my side. Finally, i can release forgiveness to those hypocrites family. I'm now stronger and yet i know it's not because of my strength!"

"I didn't do anything, he did. He opened his heart. He stopped smoking. Finally, he can feel the joy from above."

"Can you keep a secret? I'm about to become a leader!"

"What time do you go offline? I want to share something with you!"

Highlight of the day:

"I got the best gift(s) from God on my bday, i hope you will too.

Happy birthday, Sha."

Came from a lady who have been waiting for almost 10 years to get pregnant.

She finally is. On her birthday. A twin.

Making everything about yourself, even though it's your birthday, is so last year.

It's time to make it about others.

Selfish is out, selfless is in.

P.S: it's amazing seeing how self-centered people can make everything about them.

Their friend is having a birthday, but the subject of the conversation is no different. Always started with an "I."

Hey, relationship works two ways! Oh wait, doesn't matter anyway ;p

Anyhoo,

200++ wall posts,

countless tweets (too lazy to count ;p), smses, email, instant messages and buzzes on MSN.

I am one lucky 18 years old girl. I love you and i thank you, my family and friends.

And.. i miss you.

Off i go,

the finally legal in OZ, muSHAdool.

Daily bread.

"If the canvas struggled under the artist's paint brush,

 the painting would never get finished. 

The canvas have to be perfectly still, totally submitted to the artist's wisdom and creativity.

Struggling won't change you - neither will frustration or worry." - Joyce Meyer, New Day New You (4th August)

To sum it up,

Surrender more,

worry less.

Enjoy life EVEN MORE.

your colourful life :)

Off i go,

muSHAdool.

Max Brenner Cafe, 10 p.m, QV, Melbourne.

The wind blew calmly,

the weather was so nice,

and the city was so amazingly alive even though it's night already.

(it's OZ for crying out loud, the stores close at 5 P.M. ;p)

We were there, just hanging out. 

the dark chocolate,

the Italian milk chocolate,

and the American milk chocolate.

Some secrets were spilled,

dark secrets.

Some privacy were revealed,

the very private ones.

Some crazy imagination were expressed,

the ones we really wanted.

"We did that. At our first month. I know i was wrong."

"I still do that, please don't tell anybody. It's between us only."

"When you first came to Melbourne, i told her, "Hey her english is pretty good!

But guess what, she disagreed with me. I guess she was just envious with you."

"High school was the best, huh?"

"I've always wanted to have that kind of life."

Well..

Good conversation, good friends, good chocolate and good weather,

are the BEST combination.

Everyone has their own reasons, their own stories, their own past.

Listen more,

talk less.

Open more,

Judge less.

That's the key to manage a good relationship :)

"Come on, tell us. We're already like brothers and sister."

Off i go,

muSHAdool.
