My '21st Birthday Escape Trip!'

As the title goes, I'll be away during my birthday. Reason being very simple. I want a peaceful 21st birthday!!! I'll not be having any parties or celebrations though the thought of having a 21st Birthday Bash did come across my mind.

Cause it's really very troublesome having to:
1. send out birthday invitations (Having to worry if you've missed out anyone in your list which might offend/upset them. Having to worry if you've invited people who some of your friends doesn't wish to see.)
2. Catering food/BBQ (We've all attended birthday parties before, ever notice that there are ppl who came and left without eating the food? Probably they've eaten before they came or the food aren't to their liking. BBQ - Having to trouble your family members or friends to help out with the BBQ, getting smelly after the whole event when it's your birthday? Perhaps they don't really mind helping out? However I felt that it wouldn't be very nice, it's like inviting you to be my satay-man??? lol.)
3. Entertainment (Being the birthday girl/boy, you've to attend to your guests. Yes. That's right! Can't possibly be you talking to them like less than a few mins (VERY HIGH CHANCE!) and then ask them to go get food and your poor friend would probably be talking to his/her own clique throughout the whole party. Where you then? You'll probably be too busy entertaining the rest/attending to the details of the party and forgets that you've only talk to him/her for less than a few mins. People do get bored afterawhile with so many other strange faces walking around and they're not gg to enjoy it. It'll then ends up to be like a gathering instead of a birthday party. Definitely I'm not gg to leave my friends out there feeling bored and nt enjoying himself/herself at my party.)
4. Location (North. South. East. West. Everyone's living at diff areas. Having a birthday party would probably have to trouble your friends who are living slightly further away to make a trip down. Personally I really don't like the long travelling time so what makes me think that all friends would like it? Besides I'm sure that I can't possibly find a good location to compromise everyone.)
5. Aftermath (You'll probably be very very tired and your poor bf/gf would probably be feeling the same too or double of yours, providing the help to attend to many other stuffs to allow you to have more time to attend to your guests. It's nt really worth it. Probably to some, opening pressies might be a reward for them. However, to think abt all my friends giving me pressies and I didn't really have the chance to entertain them. It's nt a nice feeling too.)

Hence, I decided to escape!! ESCAPE away from all these problems of having a birthday party. In a way, I can take this chance to relax myself before school starts and my friends can save up on my birthday pressie and the hassle to scout for it. So what if it's 21st birthday, I think birthdays are the same every year and it doesn't makes you become a different person the next day. You're still who you're.

To all my dear friends, BIRTHDAY WISHES are truly good enough for me. Loves! =)
