On Being 30
by DeM0NiCk on July 4, 2009, under Parties

Last Wednesday, I celebrated a milestone. I wanted something simple yet memorable and what a better way to celebrate a milestone by having a simple dinner with my friends and family. Honestly I didn’t want to celebrate it on a week night, but I had no choice as I couldn’t have done it on the following Friday or Saturday nights due to me having prior engagements with a friend who is getting married on Saturday. Doing it the week after kind of kills the mood.
My guest list was at least 30-40 people, but having it on a Wednesday night, I already expected a lot not to show up, so I was quite overwhelmed by the number of people who came.
27 people showed up..
Every year for my birthday, I like to bring all my different groups of friends together as I think it’s the only one time of the year, I can get to see so many of my friends at once. Also for the first time in 4 years, I’m not drunk on my birthday (really…that’s a milestone by itself!) and needed no assistance home.


It was an evening that I thought it would be. It was the perfect birthday! I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thanks to everyone who came:
Ashlin, Kristin, April, Lei Kuan, Rachel, Zara, Evie, Janice, Siew Yen, Jek, Jolene, Hansen + GF (sorry can’t remember her name), Doug, Karen, Rica, Yung Shen, TJ, Mike, Yih Wen, Chui, Regina, Jacqueline, Jon, Victor, Olivia, Christy
…and making it a memorable evening….you guys rock!
