23 goes by quietly and i love every second of it. Spending quality time with those i adore. I cherish small and cozy gatherings and this birthday is certainly filled with them.
My lovely NIE E.lit buddies who are also december babies (:
A last minute surprise gathering with the besties before midnight at Demsey's Ben & Jerry's.
The boy showed up at my doorstep at 2am with the loveliest bouquest ever. Inspired from a bridal bouquet. i love all the different shades of purple.
My favorite one of all time :) thanks sweets.
Headed to our all time fav hangout: coffee bean. so cool that railmall has one now. love the background swishes.
The actual day was spent with the beloved family. 22nd december marks the winter solstice and because my grandma celebrates winter solstice every year with tang yuan, my birthday is never forgotten by her and my aunts and uncles. The boy and i paid her a visit at the columbarium in the afternoon. I really miss her so much. Eventhough she is no longer around this year, we still hold on tightly to the tradition and gathered for a feast. The first birthday without her.
My grandma's place right in the heartland of Ang Mo Kio. 
Brother. who surprised me in the morning with vouchers for a purse i fell in love with months ago. Because he didn't know which color to get me, he gave me a stack of vouchers instead. (: Mummy. the boy. cousin.
23
A brand new beginning with major changes ahead in the coming year. It will be a tough journey with setbacks and frustration but it will be a journey i am determined to learn from. It will be a time of holding on to God's steadfast love.
