Whoo! So yesterday was my 21st birthday!
It was alright, nothing hectic, just family and relatives wishing me happy birthday and all =] We had cake and a few drinks and snacks, and talk about anything that crossed the mind.
Predicatble enough, the conversation lead to the divorce of my parents, which was kinda saddening, as it's my birthday afterall. My dad wasn't there, as he told me he wouldn't.
But anywho, all in all it was very enjoyable and I have received a good amount of cash >=D
On an amusing sidenote, in Holland we have an event called 'Sinterklaas'. Literally translated Saint Nicolas. Basically everyone outside the Netherlands know him as Santa Claus, but Santa is a spin-off from Saint Nicolas (done by Coca Cola for promoting their drinks back in early 1900s, no joke). Here's a picture of 'Sinterklaas'. ANYWHO, long story short: the tradition is to put your shoe in front of the fireplace, and next morning Saint Nicolas (read: parents) would've put some sweet and presents in it if you've been good. Now, I've been jokingly complaining to my mom for him not giving me any sweets anymore. But this morning, I found sweets and chocolate in my shoe =|
COMPLAINING HELPS!
Lastly:

It does sound like me funny enough Oo..
