Dear Asri,

I cannot believe you are already 20. It seems just like yesterday when we were having Sec 1 Orientation and you, were looking smashingly fine and oh-so-cool in your "I♥ Bedok West" PE t-shirt. ;) Deep inside, you knew I was envious of your cool t-shirt and wished I had one that wasn't as sophisticated and chic as my Tampines Primary School one. It seems just like yesterday when we had some Perjumpaan Hari Raya and you came in your pink baju kurung and Syidah & I were so mean and cruel, we pointed and laughed at you and made sure you know it. And then, and THEN. Somehow we managed to get hold of your EZ-Link card and we saw that you, Master of Fashion Statements, had started a cool trend that we didn't know of in primary school - the "10 million badges around collar" trend. If I knew it could look that cool, I would have actively participated in that Science program where we could be botanists or astronomers or chemists or whatever... just so I too, could get that many badges and be just like you.

(Okay I should probably stop reminiscing here.)

But OMG LOOK AT YOU NOW!!! You rock red skinnies like Lady Gaga rocks spacesuit-like dresses, you've become increasingly charming (hahahahaha jangan kembang) - I have people who can testify to that and best of all you have matured and gain enough sense to know that when I'm saying stupid things about you, it's not that I hate you (like in Sec 1, haha) but it's because I'm getting good at countering things that you say about my Celly and some others hahaha.

I had soooooo much fun at El-Sheikh just now and I hope you did too! I hope you loved everything, from the surprise (not everyone can say they had 3 Arabian dayangs holding their hand in 1 day) to the celebration, to our company to the gifts...

I hope you had fun during your first day of being 20 (: I LOVE YOU ASRI "S.D." JASMAN, HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY! ♥
