Well,
some people take 20 as a big thing, you know.
Because it's when you're no longer teen,
you're ty I mean, that doesn't sound nice!
20 is like a number that indicates responsibilities and commitments.
When you turn 20, you're at the end of your preparatory years,
when you're 21, you're like 'free' and your parents won't worry about you that much
(oh well it applies only on certain culture, that's definitely not my culture)
When you're 20, you'll start to deal with your university life,
and when you're 24 you'll graduate and seek for job.
When you're 26, you'll have to get married.
Have to? Well, not really.
But being a Malay, I am still tied to that stereotype
of marrying early is better.
It all starts with the number 2 in front.
Scary, isn't it?
I am scared.
So the day I turned 20,
I didn't hope for much celebration,
ofc yeah every girl wants a surprise birthday party,
big and loads of presents,
dinner or lunch treat,
but the responsibilities that come after,
oh man I can't process it and my brain just can't take it.
And so I have to deal with IB exam,
IB is a big deal to me, people!
Can't you see it?
But yeah,
I know Allah has better plan for me,
He knows best and He knows exactly
why He puts me in this journey,
so I take it as it is :)
And so,
I had to go back to college on my special day,
Peter had AS examination,
my siblings had to go back to their respective schools,
my dad had to deal with his work in Labuan
Peter had AS examination.
All. Everyone. Has. His/Her. Own. Thing.
So,
I just stared at the wall of my room,
waited for my other friends to come back from their holiday
and did nothing.
Muzfira came with cake! Aida came back with cakes!
I felt like birthday girl tho :)
Allah says, we need to wait for something great to happen!
So something great did happen,
the month after.
I was surprised when Peter Pan appeared out of no where,
he was claimed to be flying all the way from Neverland,
and due to time constraints, he had to postpone his trip to
my real world of Banting.
He also gave me loads of chocolates,
such a good treat for my next PMS
and a cute teddy bear which was believed to
accompany me (?) and I couldn't believe myself
sleeping with the bear err night!
And lunch treat at the Seoul Garden, yeah!
And so,
that's pretty much of the day(s) when (after) I turned 20!
