Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Lai Jie Mei!! Finally 19, one year till you hit the big 2-0. It's taken you alot to get here and I'm absolutely proud of who you've become and what you've accomplished. Although sometimes, I still question why you do certain things...Please know that I still love you all the same - bag of bones and all. I hope you get to eat lotsa cake this year, good cake. I hope you spend the day having only fantastic coffee from the best place in Singapore. I hope your friends get you happy and drunk (ugh. ok mum and dad didn't read this?!) and you meet that nice, cute angmoh boy who you couldn't get the number from the other time (kok hou didn't read this either.) I hope you'll be happy for the many more years to come, simply because you keep making me happy. I'm thankful that you grew out of your biting people phase (poor me. How I suffered when you were teething!) I hope all your wishes come true and you get that place at Wheelock College in Boston, so that I not only can go and visit you BUT i would be able to buy all the stuff I want online and ship it to you. ah ha. Ok la. Because it'll be their lost if they don't accept you - only you have that way with children (and only GOD knows how.) . I hope you would meet a boy who would take care of you, make you feel secure and not be an asshole.

Thank you for being my shopping buddy, the listening ear to when I whine and moan about everything in general. Thank you for hanging around even when i'm being an asshole and shit-face grumpy. Thank you for being the messenger, for helping me move, for coming to visit, for indulging me in my most insane desires. Thank you for liking my friends and going on these wild insane road trips with me. Thank you for caring enough and letting me know that I can message you whenever, whereever. Thank you buying me stuff when I run out of money. Thank you for being born 19 years ago so that I could learn to share and not end up being this spolit brat. Thank you for allowing me to secretly racist against all those people who want to try and takeover our world. ah ha.

You know, you are so amazing, so please don't let anyone ever let you think otherwise.

Happy birthday mei. have a great great birthday!! wear ya keddies:)

love you many many xoxxoxo
