Chapter 7: I'm Feeling 22 (literally!)

//

My new chapter began on January 18th, 2016 at around 00.30 am. (I think).
In the middle of working some projects, suddenly my housemates entered my room singing a birthday song and bringing the cake with candles and a big gift.
Well, I didn't ever expect that! I was sitting on my chair speechless (for real!)
That was the first surprise of 22nd birthday (I'm old, I know).






In the afternoon when I was waiting the time for consultation with my teacher at campus, suddenly three of my classmates approached me with (another) cake and a gift!
Another speechless moment attacked! :'
(I almost got a heart attack lol. Sorry I'm acting too much.)
Well, I was really touched to know that they prepared such a thing to surprise me although I'm easy to get surprised for something :' //cries



But, that's not the end yet.

After I had got sick for 2 days (1.5 days literally), yesterday (22/01) I went to campus for consultation and discussion with my teacher. Then, two horrible things happened to me, started in the afternoon. First, one of the company rejected me for internship after waiting for almost a month (dude!!). Second (and I claim this was the worst), when I was about to arrive at Rehoboth (a place for ICF Choir to practice songs), I was totally forget to bring the venue's key!! Without any doubt, I came back to my house, took the key, and went back to Rehoboth for 15mins in total (generally it takes 15mins one way, but that time 15mins return. wow.) Then, nobody was there. I checked my phone and my friend told me that they were at Linda's house. After parking my bike, I walked in a rush to her house. Actually, I was really not in the mood to practice after 'that stupid incident'. I kept blaming myself for being easy to forget something. Although the members kept telling me that everything was fine, but I was feeling guilty about it.

After the practice ended, I still replied my friend's chat when suddenly Linda and Fangfang came into the living room and sang a happy birthday song (followed by the choir member) and brought a cake with candles! I was almost crying tbh. Who knew that they prepared a birthday surprise although it's already too late? :'

I went back at around 8.30 pm and it was raining. I rode my bike with mixed-feelings inside my heart. Tired, sad, disappointed, frustrated, everything. I told God, "Why must everything happen at the same time, on the same day? Why did You allow them?" I almost cried in the middle of my way back home.
Then, when I opened my apartment's door, I was totally in shock (this is for real! I almost screamed like someone watching a horror movie!!!) because there was #NakRotterdam bringing the cake and the gift. It was like, ..............
I was speechless. Totally speechless. I can't describe how I felt at that time. Well, I was surprised, touched, happy, shocked, etc etc etc. :'''''' I couldn't even speak or act properly. OMG GUYS!!!! You just made me heart attack!!! :'''

People said that being 21 is a starting-line from being teenager to adult (idk where I got this philosophy, tho), and I totally agree with it. When I saw myself back in 2015, there are a lot of differences comparing to myself now. Back then, I got mad easily, never cared to other people, etc etc etc. But as the time goes by, I learnt from experience and here I am now, being a 22-year-old lady with a Sanguine-Phlegmatic character (surprised? ME TOO! I was Melancholic-Sanguine previously) and positive energy for everyone. I'm blessed that He still gives me a chance to develop and change myself to be way better than before.

Anyway,
I really thank God for giving me another year to live and do His Works.
It's been an honour and a pleasure, tho. :)
