ThedayIturned19

Ambitious plans kinda scaled alot in scale,
but something happened that night that hit me right in the face,
with a little magic in the air and stardust sprinkled,
I turned 19 and love the energy of being young.

We were supposed to have a nice coiffure and manicure to complement,
nice dinner and photo booth whoring
881 before prancing in the club,
and than to stay till daybreak and have breakfast at Chin Mei Chin...
But well, too packed too little time.

I highlighed my hair, the first at the grand old age of 19.
881 was nostalgically brilliantly tacky,
remembering a year ago I was in an empty cinema with the special one.
The mash of sweaty mass bodies intoxicated me,
in those wee hours in a somewhat "school gathering"
something really special struck me.
It's hard to describe the immense realisation,
of living in the moment and enjoying the essence.
I couldn't believe I detoured and actually became young.
In the booming club, I yelled "To Singlehood!" and really smiled.

The morning came, the blanket slipped away.
I yakked with Clarence till daybreak,
remembering the many occasions Orchard was the venue for special memories.
Had Kopitiam breakfast with birthday boy Qihao,
the flow of "proper" questions ensued,
so we say,
the night has its magic, the day brings the realities.

Pictures to come soon!*
