went for a dinner celebration just now with some of my army friends...went to music dreamers live cafe...its a place with live band which usu performs mandarin pop songs..we went there with the hope of relaxing ourselves and listening to some gd music..but lest to our expectations, today is the once-a-month audience night...which means the audience are expected to come up and sing instead of the regular singers...we were super taken aback by this..and the worst was every table was expected to 'send' pple up to sing...us being a grp of 6, we were expected to have 2 songs at least...so after much persuasion, we had to force our ways up to the stage to sing..such a nerve-wrecking experience!..my very first singing performance in front of the public...i think among all those who came, we were lk the worst..it seemed lk the rest were regular customers who were gd in singing came especially for this night...why in the world are we in the wrong place at the wrong day??

but its a really fun experience...after the first attempt, it didn't seem that bad afterall...and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed..so i guess it was a memorable birthday for me...what a way to celebrate..haha...

one thanksgiving for my birthday is that God really blessed me with His love on this special day...when in fact i usu put little regard to my birthday, He showed me how impt He regards this day for me...how this day is significant for me..for it is the day He destinated my birth into this world..and its a cause for celebration...and i experienced rather tangibly His showers of love for me in the form of the many calls and smses sending their well-wishes...these well-wishes mean so much to me because i felt God showing me the pple who cares for me and that this day is indeed marvellous...in fact, this yr is the highest number of celebrations i have with diff grps of pple..3 which has past and 3 more to come...i really thank God for allowing me to understand so much abt His love for my birthday and for me and more imptly to experience it in a real way..indeed, i'll nv want to forget what He has taught me...
