My teenage years...

Are almost at an end..
As of today, I'm one year away from not being a teenager... Depressing right?
I wonder how my dad feels now that he's one year away from being half a century old xD

Hahahah but this is not gonna be an emo post!!

This is the time where I reflect upon my life and say once again:

If I had a time machine I wouldn't change even a second of my life :)

I know there will be some haters saying - oh Ben, you're so in denial, how can your life be so perfect?

Well, I know nothing can be perfect, but whatever I've done whether its right or wrong, i can honestly say that I have no regrets doing it. I'm happy the right things happened and I'm happy I've learnt from my mistakes.

I can safely say my life is close to perfect. And i'll tell you why in a life of "Things Ben is Grateful For"

1) I have a loving family, my dad, mom and brother. True, we've been through a lot of hardships along the way, but all that arguing debating and stabbing fighting has made us create an even stronger bond as a family :)

2) I have the most awesome friends the world has ever seen. They would take a bullet for me... But not run to the fridge to get me a drink :(
Hahah, kidding, I have the most awesome friends la, I know I'm repeating this but I cannot stress this enough. Without my friends, I don't think I'll be here today.
From the awesome people I've known since standard 2, standard 3, standard 5, from 1, form 3 or the people I've met along the way, all the way up to the friends I've gained this year and the last, I'll treasure you guys for the rest of my life :)
Every single one of you have influence or shaped my life in one way or another. Some have more impact than the rest, but every one HAD an impact on my life :)
Whether you guys are reading this or not (you know who you are ;) ) I thank you from the bottom of my heart  <3
 (too many of you for me to post pictures, if I do, this post will be 4 websites long xD)

3) I'm doing the course I have a passion for, and soon be doing my passion as a job hobby. Heck, the reason why I changed it from job to hobby is because its gonna seem like that for me because I love what I'm doing. I'm going to do my best because my parents already let me enter the course I wanted to and I'm grateful for that.

4) I have a car. True, its not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, but at least its a CLK :)
A Cute Little Kancil. ;)  At least this little bugger gets me from A to B without the hassle of waiting for the bus or waiting for my parents to pick me up. I feel good sitting in my air conditioned car (fix d k? blowing cold air liao :P) and watching people on motorcycles go by.

5) I have a roof over my head, and food on the table. Sometimes the most basic of necessities are overlooked. My house may not be the biggest house on the block, but it's where I call home. Not some rented apartment or a hostel. And even though I don't eat caviar or smoked salmon every single day, I am grateful for the food my mom put on the table... Eventhough its oily and fatty and contradicting with my PROJECT REDANG!! Lol, no la, I'm still grateful. :)

Basically I'm grateful for how my life has gone by. I don't regret a single thing that I've done. And in a nut shell,  isn't that what everyone aims for? Living a life without regrets :)

So I wanna ask you guys now...

What are you most grateful for? :)

<3

P.S. Happy happy birthday to me :)

P.P.S Happy birthday, daddy :)

Yea, i know, he shares the same birthday as me :)
Can you imagine the greatest present he got was a full 19 years ago? xD
And the most costly :P
