With a blink of the eye, my 19th birthday arrived. Just one year back I was celebrating it with Ben 10, but right now for my 19th birthday, I've celebrated it with Cerella. To me it was like one of the best moments spent together. I may have repeated used this phrase "best moments" on many occasions, thats because I'm not able to fully express, in words, how joyous I felt during that day. Spending this special day with someone special can never be the same as spending it with friends or family. Its just like how certain brands can never be as good as others brands. Of cause I'm not saying that I won't enjoy as much when I'm spending it with friends and family, I do enjoy it as well, but there will always be different emotional feelings attached to it. Maybe I'm just someone who enjoys spending it with someone I love.

So lets talk about 13th June. I got up bright early feeling generally nervous and excited because I didn't know what Cerella had in store for us. I kinda like surprises, and speaking of which, I actually had a good surprise last year where I was presented with a cake out of nowhere! Getting back on track. I met up at her place at around 11.30 pm where the rest of my day will be at her disposal. She left her house in casual clothing, and without a bag which was rather weird because she seldom does that unless she'll be around the area. That really got me thinking, are we going to celebrate it near her house? Well as usual, I was wrong. When our bus went towards Pasir Ris, I originally though it was going to be a chalet with the rest of gang waiting in the room to ambush me, but I was wrong again! It was actually a day over at the Escape Theme park.

I was quite surprise as to why she wanted to spend it there, but I've come to realize that I haven't been to such places before, and it was about time that I did. She once asked me whether I preferred a relaxing or fun filled outing. My answer was a relaxing outing with a hint of fun, and going to the Escape Theme park was her response to fun whereas the relaxing part would be left for the night. Panasonic was abolished and 2 other rides were closed for periodic maintenance, but other than that, I really enjoyed myself. We went almost every ride and my favourite would be the "Pirate Ship" and "Go-Kart". Pirate ship for the fun-factor and Go-Kart for the adrenaline rush. Having not brought extra clothes, I didn't expect us to play the log ride where we'll get extremely wet. I was quite reluctant at first, but for the sake of fun, I went along with it. Well at least Cerella is going be wet as well. Haha! With no extra clothes, we traveled back home in our wet clothes and mine was the wettest. I was completely drench and the weather made it worst. The strong winds were blowing and the bus was extremely cold, I was literally shivering during the journey! As we'll be heading to Clarke Quay later on in the night, Cerella wanted to get back home to get a bath and change.

We were the only ones at home, this was why we had to quickly change and leave the house before her parents came back. Cerella lent me her Army shorts so I could dry my pants, naturally I would head to the toilet to change, but she insisted that I do it in her room. Not wanting to waste anymore time, I obliged. When I was in, I noticed a ZARA gift bag with a little note. I briefly read through it and the very last word I saw was "Serene". Serene is one her good friend, and her birthday happens to be on the same day as me, and coincidentally, Serene's gift was also in a ZARA gift bag. Thats why I didn't bother about it and got changed.

The moment I walked out, a huge smile was planted on my face. Why? Cerella was standing right at the kitchen with a little cake in her hands. I was really really happy at that moment! The surprise was completed with a little song and a wish (don't try to guess what was it. Haha!) that I made. So what about that present I saw earlier? It was actually my present! Another classic example to show what a wooden block I am. Cerella did ask me to walk back into her room to spot it, and it was where I fully read the message.

To end the day off, we headed to Clarke Quay for our dinner and spent the rest of the day chilling under the exotic moonlight.

A perfect way to end of a perfect day..
