Phone beeps (Shanin): "Happy shanin seventeenth!"


Haha but Dennis was still the first. And he sent me a really touching poem:
"
Happy birthday hongrui! :D
it's your 17th birthday,
you've come such a long way. :D
from sec 1 to j2
i'm still sitting next to you :D
you've failed numerous tests,
because you didn't give your best. :D
spending those times to cube
and not becoming a newb :D
but we're in jc now,
got to start mugging like cows :D
but my friend, all i want to wish you,
is to cherish now (like the present) :D
live the most fulfilling life,
and leave no regrets behind. (Ga i'm starting not to rhyme) :D
all the best for your future endeavors,
and may you get what you wanted since forever!
Happy 17th!


Thanks to everyone who wished me happy birthday today! Laiweng, Dennis, Joshua, Shanin, Dawn, TingFang, Huiyan, Yiyang, Tryphena, Xuewen, ZongYi, Yunxi, and Charlotte Steph Brent Sihui whom I randomly stumbled across in the canteen xD Ugh I can't remember everyone okay!?! So sorry if i left your name out, my 'new' phone sucks and I need to keep deleting messages if not i cannot see new ones.

And of course there are the thousand and one wall posts on facebook. Thank you all!

And last but not least, by dear music pals! Thanks for celebrating my birthday, especially Dennis for being such a wonderful class rep and loyal friend =D

And I cannot thank Evan enough, for being there the whole of yesterday and in school this morning at 7am to help me with things that he is not expected to do but he still so wholeheartedly helped with.

And thanks Shanin for your cute bookmark. Dennis for that cookie monster. and Michelle for your birthday card =)


It's been a great birthday, there's only one thing left on my mind that i really hope will turn out well...

I practised the cello for over 4 hours today!!

I could have gone on if not for the fact that I badly had to complete my Sampling and start on C&R D: And Ugh I'm soooo far behind on my mugging schedule! I don't even think I can finish everything by CTs D:

But then again, quoting lumpy, "Nothing gives the same sense of satisfaction as playing on this block of wood".

Cello <3!

This is just so inspiring.
