My name is Shuwen
Shuwen is my name
I am Shuwen

I love photography, beauty, fortune, and worldly possessions.
I adore fawns, bunnies, starbucks, and eiffel tower.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Sophistication is part and parcel of life.
Life is like a book of unravelling mysteries.
My life is God's novel, God is the author of my soul.

We are only human, no one can deny that we all once feared of disappointments. Today is my special day, a day where I want to thank God for my existence. Apparently, I am not looking forward to find out what today has instored for me thou. Rather, I was afraid the recurrence of history repeating itself. It took me many years to realise that what leads to disappointments has partly got to do with the expectations I have. So, I whispered to myself before I start my day, hoping that God will hear me from above as I wished for an ordinary day where everything goes on smoothly.

I've learnt to appreciate simplicity. It's only through simplicity that it does not only triggers expectations, it also allows me to view things in a different approach and with thankfulness. I was amazed at how a thankful spirit can bring joy to someone like me who often gets sullen and moody. Speaking of being thankful, the only person I really wanna thank now is God, because He had placed in amazing people to make my day meaningful one. The day started out really ordinary at first and subsequently surprises started coming in. What laid the deepest impression in me were the wishes people posted on my FB wall. I was expecting my FB wall to be dead, and then, lo and behold, I received a pop up notification regarding a happy birthday greeting I've received. I was actually in amazement as it wasn't just any of my close friends/relative or any random by passer that made the first approach. Rather, it was my senior from IG who was the very first person to post that happy birthday greeting to me. I was really touched. Even though it's probably what she do in noting down everyone's birthdays as carrying a position of a publicity, perhaps it was mere coincident, but I wasn't expecting her to went to the extend of wishing me happy birthday on my FB wall when it's empty. As a result of that, it seems like it had appeared on other people's news feed or something, because the next moment I knew it other Rz people started filling my FB wall with birthday wishes. I was literally beaming with joy as I chuckled in surprise. Their sincere wishes had truly brightened up my day, as it's really heartwarming that they're doing this for me when I only knew them for three months.

*Btw, if you think that you're the high and mighty one just by getting RML people to give me birthday greetings, and assuming that I'm suppose to get happy about it that I should thank you for that. Wake up your idea, please! I don't fancy flooding birthday wishes or any bombastic birthday bashes whatsoever. It's the sincerity that matters most, and your motive is like a reflection of arrogant simpletons. It's because of people like you, I don't see the point of announcing my birthday to the whole wide world. You're giving me the impression that you're taking advantage of this for your own benefit, and thus, it pisses me off big time. And here's another ironic thing. You mentioned the word "first" in wishing me, yet it's not as if you really remembered my birthday. Next time please don't do it for the sake of doing, I've never asked you to do so. You have no idea  how much you've disgraced me by vandalising such a nonsensical comment on my wall feed!

Not to forget the my amazing classmates. Non of them had any idea that today was my birthday as I've been trying to keep a low profile about it. But subsequently nearing the end of class, some of them happens to find out about it and the whole class sang me a happy birthday song. I was in utter amazement. I've never encountered a group of people whom I've only know them for a short time doing this for me. Perhaps to the rest it was merely a little act, but you have no idea how much it mean to me. Like one of my classmate who randomly sang a verse for fun: "I'm hope it's not too late, but happy birthday." - The Click Five. Of course it's not too late, it never is. Thank you guys so much! :D

The reason behind why I share my birthday with certain people discretely has all along got to do with my perspective that my birthdays are meant to be a reminder of my Creator and about the appreciation of my existence. But now I've come to realise that whenever it comes to my one year one time occation, I should also learnt to appreciate the amazing people whom they have impacted and made a difference to my life. All in all, this is probably the best birthday, ever!

He said happy birthday to me! He freaking said HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!! You know the feeling when you see his name appear on my FB wall, and it's the 7th post on my FB wall. Together with the smiley emotion, which somehow reminded me how I also used to put my smiley emoticon in that manner. Oh! It made me so hyped up that I'm utterly speechless!
