21st and X'mas in the Park

21st birthday party?! Yes, I know that it seems weird that I still hang out with that age group, but come on! I am not far off from that age group, aren't I? Don't answer that!

I wasn't prepared to see him there as I double checked with the birthday boy about who were gonna be there and his name wasn't mentioned. I noticed myself talking to everyone but saved him for the last. He probably was feeling as awkward as I was, so we managed to avoid each other easily at the beginning. Then, after I was more grounded, we finally had some pleasant chat and everything seemed normal afterward. It was a lovely night to catch up with everyone, esp with him.

I left around 1am and had to get up to do my car service at 8am the next day. I was so tired that I couldn't repeat my cellphone number to the mechanic. I was like,
"021-25.....no I mean 021-2115...Doh!.....Can I just write it down? :$"

After reading my book for 3 hours at McDonald with a coffee and a breakfast, and $500 later, I finally got my car home safely. I then went to the Christmas in the Park to do fundraising for Youthline, so I can get a free feed and a free T-shirt :P I was actually pretty good at selling! I may consider it as my 2nd career :P. As far as I am concerned, the target market were definitely little kids with big family and group of friends with bf/gf!!

The firework was so incredible that totally made up for the rain and the cold. I was jumping and jaw-dropping while I was watching the firework. It was a magical moment that everything around me seemed to blend into the background and it was just me and the fabulous firework. The night ends with a warm friendly goodbye which left me timidly at a loss for words.

"Hey, how has your evening been? Would you like to buy a Santa hat to keep you/your kids/family/partner warms?"

"How about a light stick?"
"Does it keep me warm?"
"Umm....for a while?!"
