It’s a status which you really wish for before you pass its gates and after you pass its hallowed gates, you wish you could forever stand just right outside of it. Many of my friends are making that crucial transition this years, mainly my classmates from uni, as well as some of my church friends and my dear sister too.

When i turned 21 (few years ago), I knew I only wanted to celebrate this special occassion with one person. I expanded all my leave for that year, forsook my friends and family in Singapore and flew straight to perth, just to be with her. I am really glad I did not have a cheesy BBQ party neither did I have a OTT “MTV-styled MY Sweet Sixteen” kind of party. I never regretted spending that day with the one i love most. I got to know her new friends in perth, silly people like stef,jan and sylvy, how she coped with the cold etc…So i thought that would be my one and only chance of celeberating a 21st Birthday overseas. Mich never really got a chance, her birthdate is during her winterbreak, so she was back in Singapore then.

However, I manage to be part of a 21st birthday celeberation overseas again, in perth no less. Amanda, our dear “daughter”, so happened to turn 21 during my long road-trip down under. Here she is…in her resplendant moment of glory. Pretty adorable eh?hahaha.

Well, her party could not have been possible without her friends and family. Her Dad actually bought a smoke machines and radical stage lights just for her party!! He even brought down a electronic drum kit, guits and amps. Pretty cool eh! Her brothers are talented in different way. Aaron is the tech genius of the family and he made a real snazzy video for amanda while Alvin, the youngest, who is more musically inclined, wrote a lovely kick-ass punk rock song for her.lol. And here they are…Amanda’s lovely family.=)

And here are some photos of the crowd at the party as well. Some of her friends are a little…well, you see and you will know…hahaha. But without them, the party wouldn’t have been so lively and fun. It was great fun to be there with them watching Italy win the world cup and seeing all them sleep pass the moment. Here are the friends at her party…

Yup, now would be an appropriate time to welcome yet another new member of club 21.hehe. Happy birthday Celeste!! Hope you had lots of fun at your own party.=p
