The Rockstar's Alter-ego: (Throwback Monday) Hello, May 28th!

This post would be a reminiscence of my seventeenth (or maybe eighteenth?) birthday. In May 2012 my family and I flew back to Singapore. It had been quite a long time since the last time I flew to Singapore so I really was excited. To my surprise, my parents had planned the date of departure before so we left for Singapore on May 27th which means that I, inevitably, would celebrate my birthday there. As I went on procedure of immigration, the officer checked my passport and asked "What day is today?" and I was like "Well, it's 27th. What's the matter?" The officer smiled and said, "A birthday party tomorrow, isn't it?" and I giggled then.

Now let's jump to the most exciting part. My relatives and I went to enjoy the night while counting down to midnight. We walked to Serangoon street from our flat. There are so many lanes in the neighborhood and we were kind of lost. Thanks to local people who helped us, we could find our way there. My phone alarm rang at midnight and we had a small celebration in the pedestrian. Yes. Pedestrian. Some people looked at us but we didn't care. My relatives congratulated me and said some little prayers for me. After that small celebration, we went to Mustafa Centre to have a bigger celebration. There are several pedestrian cafes there where you could enjoy a cup of coffee or Tarik tea while chatting with your buddies. I found that perfect spot to celebrate my birthday while enjoying the nightlife of Singapore. A relative went to 7-11 and bought some snacks, including my favorite Pringles. And, of course, we took some pictures. It IS a must.
