My 21st

I had a 21st birthday yesterday.

What did you had as your 21st birthday?

At the night before my 21st, I was attending Darren's b'day party - thank you Darren for really having a great party near Town, in your school.

I am really happy, got to meet new and old friends, surprised at the change in some friends.

I didn't know, for example, my old mate in Infocomm Club, Zheng Han took up dancing, and became a backup dancer for a pop star. (He's that guy with the black tank top) I also didn't know that the main star of the Party, Darren (he's just beside me on the photo!), is really serious and motivated, in everything he does!

I am also  pleased that some interests do not change.

For example, the guy 'formerly' (and to me, still) known as Jia Fu (in the light-blue polo shirt), who was my favorite classmate and showed up for the party, still joked - while my old classmate Michelle looked as beautiful and confident, as she was 5-8 years ago.

Then a few moments later, it's night, 00:00, and it's my 21st birthday!

Also the first day of ATP stage 3.

It's very intensive, heavy and... cool!

I need not tell you about the data crunching I did, maybe I'll talk about the tedious process one fine day, but it should be alright.

Yesterday, my course-mate Bryan treated me to my favorite Japanese katsu curry rice. Yummy! And Bryan's got heart. Thank you! :)

Oh, not to forget the company with Eugene, Kai Sin and - special guest from Stage 2, Agnes! Wow. We 4 had a long, long chat over lunch. We also dined with Sanjay, Sunil, Hendrik, Komala and our faciliator, Kai Loon. :)

Wow, ATP has friendly people with a great camaraderie. Everyone has the focus to churn out reports, for the use of analyzing a whole industry and/or company, every time. For instance, it's interesting listening to different viewpoints on the same Singapore economy (though I did the Indonesian one, and Kai Sin and Eugene did a presentation on the States). So far, it's worth every cent of the training course. I learnt about the most essential things to note in business, and am humbled by a lot of management and financial principles that I used to take for granted.

Then I ran 4.2km in the gym, on the treadmill over half an hour. I think I feel better and more energetic after the run, I was just a little hungrier. Indeed, the treadmill 'paced' me well.

I only managed to head home at around 8.15pm. I had some dinner before I watched a movie called Vantage Point. It's about different points of views of a political plot to kill a President, which failed. I just feel, wow, that main character Agent Barnes really does his job, and  seemed to manage his strong emotions of deaths, betrayal - and do the ultimate task of rescuing the President. Wow. I was impressed.

Then I replied to Facebook birthday wishes (around 130+, I guesstimated), while trying to figure out the newest Google+ (thanks Dexter!). I went to bed at around 12 midnight.

Birthday over. I'm really 21.

That's what's just happened on my big day. I feel contented leading my 1st day of 'adulthood'. I would ask for nothing more. Life's been great to me so far!
