My mom left for KL today, so she can't celebrate my birthday this year. So we had the cake last night instead. Blackforest cake. A classic choice. I think I'll have blackforest cake as my birthday cake for the rest of my life, haha.

Then this morning I got this handmade double sided photo frame (I don't really know how to describe it) from Beni. Thank you Beni! It's really nice and pretty! I'm very touched. Now I can look at my favourite people in class at home too, haha.

Oh yes, and Vicks also gave me a handmade card last week 'cos she couldn't wait. Rest assured that it's proudly on display on my study table surface. Thank you Vicks! I'm touched too!

We watched the first act of Top Girls in Lit lecture today. ugh. The dialogue was hopelessly out of sync with the actors. In any case, I realised how much the act is written to resemble real life. It really does sound like a bunch of women talking furiously at the same time.

People and Politics. I wish, that for once in a long time, elections in Singapore will be more exciting, and that hopefully the opposition can win a few more seats in Parliament. I really find it ridiculous that my district is lumped under Marine Parade GRC when I stay at Upper Aljunied Road. Shouldn't I be in Aljunied GRC?? And guess what, Serangoon is also under Marine Parade GRC. The whole thing's a joke, seriously...

I don't wish opposition for the sake of opposition, but when you've got a party in power for the past 40 years, even having that doesn't sound too bad. And if we do have more opposition seats in Parliament for the sake of opposition, it won't be too bad since they won't be in power anyway. I can't wait to vote. Turning 18 is a step forward I guess.
