turning 17 at the International Islamic University, KL

hmm. i guess its rather late to update on what happened about a week ago but i gotta note this down coz its one of the most memorable moments i've ever had. well i was there coz of a debate tournament and though we went there as two different schools, St.George and Convent Taiping, like our 'sifu' said, we were still one team. i woke up in my cubical in the dorm on sunday morning and everyone wished me happy birthday. =D when i came back to the room after brushing my teeth and washing my face in the toilet down the corridor, the lights were off in the room and they were like wishing and singing and Ju Yen handed me a card and a plastic bag. soo terharu!(p.s. thanks to Tan Ju Yen, Ching Sue Jyie, Ooi Wei Lin, Lee Siu Chen, Tnew Chen Zhun, Ooi Ken Lin and Stephenas Teh for the card, 2 pairs of earrings, hand-phone key-chain and bangle =D)after that, we went to the Kulliyah of Architecture and Engineering Design to have our breakfast. i was talking to my mom on the phone and everyone was like acting very suspicious. LOL. the minute i ended the call, everyone sang the birthday song for me, i mean everyone, as in all the other participants in the hall too. so so so terharu. though it wasnt a material gift, i appreciated it so so so much. gave a hug to all of them for being so sweet. the day continued as usual, we had 3 debate rounds throughout the day. there were so many other 'scandals' that took place throughout the 6-day trip. haha. very funny ones. but all in all, i couldn have asked for a more pleasant birthday away from home. for a moment, it felt like i WAS home.(Awww... =D)i did my english oral presentation in class yesterday and obviously i spoke about the tournament. at the end, few of my classmates were saying how lucky i was to have had such a special birthday. and guess what, they're damn right.
