May 7, 2005, 3:15 am.
It’s ridiculously late, and I just found out my wireless Internet thingy is busted. Hopefully I can get the other one back from Casey as soon as possible. This is going to be tough if I don’t get it back. Yes, the Internet has become a big part of my life these years, but it’s not the first time I’ve been disconnected involuntarily, and I have survived those connection-deprived days. I will not live on Internet alone. This is why I’m currently typing away quietly in darkness on Microsoft Word, instead of typing quietly in darkness on my online blog.
Today has been a great day for me. Today, meaning May 6th, that is. The day of my birth 19 years ago. It’s unfortunate that my good friend Angela is away in Hong Kong, and cannot celebrate both of our birthdays together. I miss you, twin! Hurry back! Another reason why I would like to regain connection to the Internet soon. I want to be in touch with those who are difficult to reach by phone, and the absence of online connection is definitely an obstacle.
Back to today’s events. Starting at 12 am on May 6th, my buddies online hurled instant messages of “happy birthday!” at me. I’m definitely blessed to have such loving friends in my life, and I thank God for all He has given me. One great friend in particular had such an impact on me that I’ll probably be smiling for the entire month. You know who you are, and I thank you for being there for me through the thick and thin, deep and shallow! I hope I can reciprocate the love you have shown me all these years. Not that many years, really, but they were great years nonetheless.
In the afternoon, my friends from Haig popped by and we played ball at two of their homes, which were across the street from each other. We could’ve played a full court game, but a weird shaped court at that. A “Z” shaped court, not to mention dodging the occasional car that cruised through half court. We stuck with only one net for a game of 3 on 3 however, and my team won. We had the more experienced players, so it wasn’t exactly an evenly matched game. Couldn’t stay for long, since dinnertime was just around the corner. After one game, I had to leave.
At fellowship, I got gifts, hugs and smiles from fellow Salties and a few Bethelians. The last I get all the time, but the first two not so frequent. It’s a great feeling, knowing I’m loved. Not only the greatest love from Jesus, but also the love from my friends. I thank you all for being such amazing friends. Had another game of basketball after fellowship, which was pretty tiring, since I wore thick, heavy pants, and I had to guard a geared-up, speedy sharpshooter by the name of Andrew Tam “al’Thor”. Yes, usually the nickname comes between the first and last names, but it wouldn’t make sense in this case. If you don’t understand the name, don’t worry about it and just read on. I got burned by Andrew’s 90+% if not 100% shooting tonight, but it was all fun and games. Basketball is so fun.
Afterwards, we went to Bubble Star at Commerce as usual. To be safe, I ordered a Chocolate Black Milk Tea, instead of ordering the ones I’ve had in the past, which usually end in disappointment, or trying new drinks that could potentially be lethal. As I waited for my drink to come, I was surprised by a special birthday “cake” from Janette and a strident presentation of the birthday song. The “cake” was a McDonald’s Fillet-O-Fish with a match stuck in the centre of the top smooth round bun. The match burned quickly, and I blew out the flame before my bun got toasted. Haven’t had one of those in a long time, and despite seeing Super-Size Me only days ago, I chomped down the sandwich with joy. Delicious! Tastier than any other fast-food sandwich I’ve ever bought myself.
By the time I got home around 2 am, my eyes were sore and dried up, and the carnations given to me by my dear fruity friend was in a less desirable condition, due to my mishandling of the delicate plant. Sorry Mango, but they’re still in relatively decent shape. All the flowers are still there. I dropped them in a Styrofoam cup of water inside a clear glass vase. I figured the vase was too big for the two branches(?) so I just used the cup instead. Then I showered and here I am.
So that sums up my day, with a few details left out because I’m too lazy to write it all. Praise the Lord for His love and blessings. Goodnight to you all.
