Blessed birthday with the dearest ones.
Dearest TSML who surprised me after my run. Thank you girls for the gift and card hahaha I really didn't expect the gift!! I will use it well.. maybe for your birthdays? Hahaha thank you so much girls :') ❤
Rainbow cake after our long dance practice.
Started the actual day off participating a run that holds a special significance in my heart.
With these precious ones. :') // My running buddies from 14/15/16/17.
Love you girls and really super proud of you all! ❤
And the one who patiently trained me and encouraged me throughout this period. :') Our first together and I hope I'll get fitter for many more together. ❤
And most importantly, not forgetting the sister who sacrificed her sleep to run together. ❤❤❤
A very blessed morning with good weather throughout the entire 15km! Really got to thank God for that and just everything. My 3rd RAC race and it will not be the last. The race that I joined for grandpa, the race that got me started to where I am today, the race that brought me closer to Jesus. ❤❤❤❤❤ Running hasn't been the easiest journey for me and I believe with the desire to reach more milestones, it will get tougher. But I believe throughout all these times, God will continue to stay by and give me the strength to continue on running.
One particular insight that God spoke to me during this time round was when he made me chance upon a man with a prosthetic leg running the very same 15km I was running. I didn't see him when he was behind me initially, but he caught up and went a much faster pace than I did. He was so consistent too and didn't stop. Because of that, it made me reflect and feel much more thankful for the two healthy legs that God has blessed me with. It really shouldn't be something that we take for granted.. it is a privilege that has been gifted to us. I prayed for him, that he will finish the race well and continue to achieve many more milestones than he already did. Chancing upon that man made me feel so recharged and motivated to continue on running too. Thank you Lord for the unexpected insight and time of reflection during the morning race. :')
Okay didn't expect this but, thanks Nike.
Went off for service after and there was another cake (again)!!! Didn't expect this since they already celebrated for me earlier but thank you all!
Blessed with this family in Christ. ❤
Had dance practice again and rushed back to head out for dinner with my dearest two siblings. This two made me cry hours before my birthday because of what they had given me. T_T I was really touched.. to tears (literally). Didn't try to hold back my emotions and just bawled lol. Thank you two dearest ones for everything. I don't say this often, but I really love you two a lot for all that y'two have helped me throughout the tough times. :') Xiexienimen. ❤❤❤
Love love for the overly-attached sister. ❤❤❤
Had a cake together again there after dinner with J too, and went home for another slice. Really too much cake for a day but deeply thankful for everything. :') ❤
Met up with Michelle and Songen the following day and more cakes!!! To clarify, I wasn't facepalming here lol just feel awkward whenever people are singing the happy birthday song.. so I was trying to cover my face lol.
But thank you two for the lunch together and the cake! And to Michelle who wrote the super long letter omg. T_T I was so shocked but really touched. :') Can't express how much I love such letters. Much more than any gifts, I feel that heartfelt letters are the best gifts for me. Thank you so much. :') ❤
Not a birthday gift but a farewell gift from intern boss! Yes I have finally ended my 12-week long internship. Thankful for all the challenges posed and the perfect opportunity that fitted perfectly into my messy schedule. Was shocked by this gift though because I didn't prepare any lolol opps but thankful for this and all the memories together. Really glad that I was able to work with y'all who hold the same faith as I do.. that really helped in a lot of aspects. And thanks for always trying to make work feel more enjoyable. :)
It has been exhausting weeks leading up till now and although things will continue to go uphill from here.. but I'm still thankful to God for every single thing that has happened in its own way. Grateful for all the unexpected blessings from the lovely ones above, and those who dropped their birthday wishes via text too! I wouldn't choose to spend it any other way. It's really who I spend it with that matters to me most. :')
Till the next. :)
