The plan to wake up at 8am to accompany Mom to market to get the leftover items was dragged all the way till 9am. Thanks to Sis and me for sleeping at 5am that night as we were laughing our ass off and snapping nonsensical pictures before hitting the bed and when Mom came into the room to scold us, we got shocked when she open the door and laugh all the way. Liyana and Syazwan, Cik Eton’s children was sleeping together with Lil Bro at my Mom’s room.
And in the end, Mom went downstairs alone and I bathed at 9am and Sis after me. Wanted to meet Mom but she'd already reached home but forgotten to buy the salt so I went to get it instead. After which, helped out with the cleaning and shifting of the furniture set in the living room while Sis sweep and mop the house. It was already nearly 12pm. Sis and Lil Bro headed downstairs to get balloons and deco for the party and spent 30minutes decorating my hall but in the end, 10 balloons burst and we each scream when 1 balloon burst. Hahaha!
Got changed and went over to Ginn's place for some Kenduri at 1:45pm and off to meet Zam outside his house as I needed his help to take the cake. It was already 3pm when I reach home and I was like receiving a lot of calls and messages asking for directions of my house, that means they're like somehow on their way. I got panic already as I am still not ready yet. Cik Eton, Cak Ngah, Cik Elly, Usu then came over and since Usu didn't stay long, he gave me $10 for birthday. Thought that counts. :D Hurried up to cook the Bee Hoon and cleaned up the kitchen and I went to get a bath again and get ready.

The cake cutting ceremony was pushed all the way till 9pm and it was a great disappointment for me. Seriously. To those who is an avid reader and closed ones will know why. As you see, I am a part of NESHQ. What is NESHQ? It’s a name for the five of us, Nazrina, Ernie, myself, Hadirah and Quraishah. We girlfriends have been together since Primary 1 up till Secondary 4, in the same school but of different classes. We are so closed but somehow, Hadirah seems to be drifting away after the NESHQ’s Chalet and don’t ask me why. She didn’t even bother to call the other girls regarding my birthday present or what so ever and then when she came, we were kinda shocked. And she spent more time with someone else but not us. This is my blog, I just feel like saying whatever I want. We have always been the bahan of stare to people, so I don’t give a fuck on what you’re gonna said. Girls, I’m sorry if I am too open but seriously, I just couldn’t take it anymore. My expectations for my party was not fulfilled. She left within 10minutes without me realising it and when NE chased her, she just walked away. We all are left clueless up till today. Too disappointed till we don’t even bother to ask her wherabouts. She came empty handed, mind you.
Cik Eton & myself. Same birthdays :D

Quraishah, Nazrina & ErnieThat’s one and the other thing is that Dearest. Okay, he is not my soulmate, boyfriend, I repeat. Let’s just say it’s an open relationship for us. We were once together last time. But now, things are different in so many ways. He called me while I was busy working and sang me a birthday song. I was touched cause he also text me before he called me. He mentioned in the text;
"Happy 17th Birthday Seri! Haha. Wah. So big already sey but still, 2 years younger than me. Haha. Well, just wanna wish u all the best in everything u do. Make your parents proud of u and try not to disappoint them okay? Birthday present? It’s with me, haha! Well, enjoy your special day okay. See u tomorrow."
Yeah right, Fuad, Hykel and myself tried calling him since 5pm and he rejected our calls. All the guests were already there except him. And I keep telling Mom that I would not be cutting the cake unless he was there. I couldn’t take any longer and decided to text him asking if he’s coming or not in caps lock. And he replied something like go ahead with the celebration without him as he’s at Tan Tock Seng Hospital as his grandfather is in the ICU and apologies for not coming and the late reply since there’s no reception there. I wanted to cry but I held my tears. Enough.
Thanks to Amirul, Apiz and Hykel for giving me the birthday bash and Fahmy too! Thanks to him, my head was filled with chilli sauce. My face was filled with the whipped cream from my birthday cake. I didn’t get to snap a decent picture with the SGS Mates and the last group picture.
And with the JS Mates and I don’t know whose idea but to pour powder on my head. Whose powder? It was Sumar’s. So yes, the crowd really made my celebration happened though the group picture with NESHQ was incomplete without the H. I’m so sorry girls that I cried when we wanted to snap as I really couldn’t take it anymore.
Everything ended at 11pm when slowly one by one headed home. I would like to thank each and everyone of you who came to my party, for making it a blast and the presents too. I love each one of them. It’s the thought that counts. :D

I enjoy my 17th Birthday a lot! I hope for a better one next year, hopefully. A better one than this though. And after much thinking and sorting my mind, I choose to let him go and move on. It hurts a lot. I know it cannot be amend and the more I waited, the more pain I felt. Even though part of me tells me to wait a little longer, I decided not to. I’m just waiting but not hoping now. :’(
