21st birthday

Warning: mushiness.

After tonight, the girl whom i love very much will no longer be a girl, you see she has turned 21.

Maturation. Legally, an adult.

It's good to see her reaching adulthood. Firstly, it means that she will become self-sufficient soon, very soon (probably next year of the year after next). And hence she can provide for herself and have spending power. And make decisions.

Secondly, i hope she has more intelligence now, don't act the unsuspecting victim and get cheated so often. I know she has a heart of pure 24K gold, which many people are waiting to get their hands on. So must be more smarter.

Thirdly, i hope she can continue to broaden her horizons and acquire more knowledge, such that she becomes a wiser person in all. After all, knowledge is wisdom. Never hurts to have a little more knowledge.

But too bad now, she's in Philippines now for a good cause. Probably staying with a host family, may be rich enough to lavish on her a 10-course dinner, or poor enough just to afford a slice of cake with a single candle, or not even at all. I hope she's happy and smiling =) as she counts down the minutes to her birthday.

It's her project, a project that has taken much time and effort on her side, and i guess, the best birthday present now will be to see the fruits of her labour.

Nuanxin dear, I love you... enjoy your 21st birthday =)
