Boxing Day is a bank holiday or a public holiday in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and countries in the Commonwealth of Nations with a mainly Christian population. In South Africa this public holiday is now known as the Day of Goodwill. It is based on the tradition of giving gifts to the less fortunate members of society.
The holiday's roots can be traced to Britain, where Boxing Day is also known as St. Stephen's Day. Reduced to the simplest essence, its origins are found in a long-ago practice of giving cash or durable goods to those of the lower classes. Gifts among equals were exchanged on or before Christmas Day, but beneficences to those less fortunate were bestowed the day after.
Hmm..so thats the history of my birthday. A day to give to the less fortunate..haha i've always thought that its a day where all the world wide wrestlers come together to compete.
Alright! I shall learn to give on every boxing day from next year onwards!
cheers!

this year's the first year ever i've celebrated my birthday with my friends. Never had birthday cakes before. Never had so many birthday presents before. BIRTHDAYS. This birthday marks the last day of my 16 year old life and also marks the beginning of the 17th.
Im so glad the 16th year of my life is gone. The nightmare is gone. Today is my first day as a 17 year old! Nothing great right?
Hehe i just wish for myself to be healthy n happy.Double Hs=)
Anyway, dont ever watch the movie, "australia"! OMG its damn long! 2hrs40min! I nearly died from boredom n confusion! Its so not my kind of movie, probably except for a few pretty and cool scenes. So yesterday i watched movie, ate dinner n filet o fish free of charge. Very paiseh to make Darrell, Meixi n Leon pay for me=(
I really appreciate it..had a wonderful bdae!=)
P.s. The scar is damn hideous n long, orange! :S

Dear Orange,
this year's christmas will be a little more special coz Nat brought me to new creation church! Now i know what christmas is all about=) Its even more meaningful than in the past. I love singing christmas songs!
Monday
Outing with jq,ly,sh to orchard. Ate lunch at Food Republic. OMG. My yong tau foo rice cost 6.60 in total! Was super shocked. So its that one dollar bitterguord which tasted terribly awful!
Anywae, we were sitting right next to this caucasian family. The boy boy so cute! After he finished his food he started running around the whole place. And that day im sure he learnt a new skill!=) I bet he can now walk go stun confidently without bumping into any thing. I guess babies learn v fast through experience haha!
Soh Hwee joined us at around 2 plus. Then we cut birthday cake for ly and me=) JQ was really thoughful!Bought donuts when she knew that i couldnt eat eggs. But anywae i did eat a tiny weeny slice of cake=P
TWILIGHT is not fantastic but quite worth watching=)
Then time to go home.. took mrt with ly. I took the long way! All the way back to marina n straight to jurong to avoid the crowd. But really cost me alot of time. Ate dinner with mum n dad then went home.
Thanks JQ for that ultra long love letter! I promise next time if anyth happens u'll b the first to know and i will learn not to keep everyth to myself=)
Thanks Soh hwee(i never spell wrongly!) for the present! V sweet of u haha
And finally thank u LY for the enjoyable mrt ride home although its long! haha..u tried so hard to protect my arm! so cute ahXD

Dear Orange,
these past few weeks have been abit too much for me to take. I'll forever rmb this darkest period and lowest point of my life. So much tears, so much frusfration,so much fear, so much of worrying on my parents' part. And money spent.
Going through one operation is already not easy. The second one was a killer but i am positive that i went in with an optimistic mindset. I totally trust the medical surgeons in Singapore.=D And yes Prof Pho saved my life. Thank god for him. And his team of excellent doctors. All so friendly=)
I still rmb wishing them good luck before e second op. Abit ironic, isn't it? The hospital stay was quite cool. Made 2 friends=D The teacher told me never be a primary school teacher so i shant. So streesful and bz that she ended up in hospital! Terrifying!
I wanna thank all my closed ones who visited me,gave me encouragement n kept me company. especially A02 ppl. U guys really bought alot of stuff. Havent finish reading the Archie's comics yetXD
And my family, especially mummy who was with me almost 24hrs. Xin ku ni le!
Luckily all these r over. Hopefully it is. 5 years is how much time i need to conquer it and i believe i can. I dont want to be a burden.
Countdown: Another 5 weeks to me getting rid of that stupid splint.
This is my first christmas and birthday diagnosed. 5 years to freedom!
Hehe i just joined the CCF as a member. Hope to get to know others like me and help them in anyway i can!
P.s Went queensway n ikea with erning on thursday! Had fun! Haha took lots of photos(above) LOVE ERNING!
looking forward to christmas coz its Yeye's birthday. Imiss him.And the nxt day is mine!=D OGL camp, greenlink seniors farewell, class chalet! Yay! Alot of fun activities waiting for me!XD

finally went out with nat todae! LUnch was filling. WE spent most of our time at BORDERS. We settled down at the children's section and read a few fairytales. Haha i love fairytales!Always teaches us moral values that we will bring with us throughout life. The one i read today was about father-daughter kinship. Money isnt everything. As long as we have each other,we should be satisfied.
IT took me 2hrs to finish reading the book written by Mitch Albom, " The 5 people we meet in heaven". Woo..i love such books. I love books which describes life, which reviews various touching lifestories. Well, this one i read is special. Its about both life and death. It says that we will meet 5 people after we die. And they may or maynot be people we know. However, the author believes that all human lives are intertwined. So well, these 5 people will be located at different places( according to their own preference) and will be there to tell you more about the purpose in your life as well as teach certain lessons you failed to learn when you're alive.
Perharps why certain incidents occured in our lives, we'll only find out after death. For now, i shant complain about anything not to my liking. I'll learn to accept. NO point fretting too much, crying over spilled milk. Just grit your teeth and move on! Be strong be brave. As nat say, as long as we believe, there's nothing that is impossible.
YAY!POWER!!!!BASHIA!!
its just an obstacle so we have to overcome it mentally and physically.
P.S I've got a new toshiba laptop and im using it now!=D thanks to weiqiang and of coz my parents!XD
