This is an excerpt taken from an article i just came across on a news website, talking about paranormal investigations at bedok reservoir:

"Haunted Singapore" conducted their investigation on 13 August (2011), which is also the 14th day of the Ghost Month.
Prior to their visit to the reservoir, people warned them that the particular day may be the most haunted and dangerous day of the year, or depending on how you see it, the best day for a paranormal investigation.

For those who may not realise, that particular day happens to be my 21st birthday! is that why some of my invites to my celebration suddenly backed out without a good reason..?
well, i had my celebration anyways. Nothing strange of that kind ever happened. not then, not any other times.

Everything about the logistics and facilities went rather well. still a good number of friends and relatives arrived. though things got rather messy and he situation wasnt what i expected, i would still say it went well, considering there was no makor screw ups..

So now i am finally 21, and officially an adult. or rather, an adult by name. But, i would say its a good thing that it does not feel any different for me. cause the only things thats gonna change for me is:

1. i can sign contracts and forms without parental consent. (freedom? to a small extent.)
2. watch R21 movies! (uhh... how nice are they? never tried.)
3. get married legally! (whats the point when i dont have a GF)
4. Vote in the elections. (but i dont even get to vote for this presidential election...)
5. FEEL A LOT OLDER!!! theres gonna be a technical generation gap cause those younger would be kids, teenagers, or youth, while i will be classified as an ADULT! its all about being young at heart?
i hope so. I am so not ready to be an adult.

The first moment of adulthood

So, i just officially became an adult like 45 minutes ago. Thought of making my entry a bit more memorable, but well nothing came to plan. On the last day and last hour of my non-adulthood, I just being engrossed in shooting the guts out of zombies on L4D - and when i finished, i realised i am an adult already!

All these while i had actually been trying to avoid this day. i see it coming closer and closer, but as long as it had not reached, i told myself that there is still some time to go. I never did anything to 'celebrate' the last few days of my official youth. i guess i have come to realise that i should never be bound by numbers such as my age, and that as long as the situations let me, i can be as youthful as i want, for as long as i feel it. If you ask me, i dont feel a bit like an adult.

But still, i cant help but feel a mite sentimental about it, cause after all its still a fact that i have lived a good 21 years. i can never be 18 again, no matter how much i feel like it. And it is inevitable the people take much heed to the numbers to your years. A whole phase of life has passed. whatever was done within that time is etched into my life and stays as that. Now i can only change the future, starting from what i have built so far.

In any case, i am thankful to God for seeing me through all these years. This is a chance for me to reflect on all the people who have blessed my life one way or another, all the blessings i have received. All the things that formed my formative years... I have come far from where i used to be. Even though there is still way to go; it leaves for much to be yet discovered. All those opportunities i missed that seems to be passed and over, who knows, may be opened to me once again...
