So this is the year where my entire batch of those rabbits and people who were born in '87 turn 21. Everyone is stressing their heads over how to best jump into adulthood with the biggest or loudest bang. Usually, i would then write a whole entry and rant about the plans people are making, or those whose birthdays were too extravagant, or those who didn't invite me to their 21st celebration. However, i think what i've seen so far, its been quite creative and pleasant.
Lets find out why people treat the 21st so seriously. Um, well, you can sign your own release forms, you can buy a HDB flat, your parents are allowed to kick you out to fend for yourself. For guys, you get a little more, because you get to enter just a few more clubs and bars. The real age limite for guys is 23 i think. (All those snobbish shits.) Yup, great reasons for all that anticipation and celebrations.
People have gone picnicking rented clubs/bars/restaurants, hosted a 11-a-side testimonial football matches, organised costume parties, hunting trip to south africa and also staged coups in Thailand. All to usher in their adulthood in their favourite way.
I don't know if there's rivalry between friends. For example, if beatrice has a party where she books an entire pub and gets all her friends and herself drunk, puking birthday cake and vodka over each other while the clock strikes 12. Then her friend, sandra, in the same social group, and who has her birthday 2 months later, would be peer pressured into hosting something bigger. Renting a cruise ship and sailing everyone, including that geeky guy that stares at her during programming lecture, to international waters before breaking out the cards and chips. In the meantime, hooking up everyone to an IV drip bag of whichever designer drug they fancy. Gummibears for those who like cute stuff, liquid E for those crazy-assed muthafuckers, and viagra for Ex-lovers. Talk about a stiff elbow eh? (I know all about drugs because i play dope wars on facebook)
I mean, the chances of that happening word for word is almost as likely as a republican winning the US president election this summer. But, my point is there. Will people actually try to outdo each other? So from a financial, and your parents' point of view, if the above is even marginally true, the earlier in the year you were born, the better.
I've entertained the prospect of renting a yacht out to sea with all my friends, with all the deal or no deal girls as my cabin crew. But a chimp has also wanted to become the president. Oh wait..... the richest and most powerful country in the world has a chimp as their president. Well, then, anything can happen.
And just on a whim, Just on a WHIM, (i know i might offend many people by saying this), how cool is it, if i can get Jesus to my party? Yes, you heard me right, i did say Jesus. Its not some football player from mexico who's called Jesus, its THE jesus.
Just think how cool it is if Jesus can be my party planner? Not enough alcohol? No worries, just fill these bottles with water and they will become Chardonnay and Merlot straight away. Don't know how many people are turning up at the party? Have no fear! Just buy 5 loaves of Foccacia and a couple of tuna. Accidentally get killed because my friends threw me into the path of a japanese destroyer? He's there to resurrect me! Plus, walking on water would be good entertainment for about 10 minutes. Hows that for bragging rights?
Someone goes, "i had the whole Chelsea team playing football in my backyard, and i actually tackled Didier Drogba but he stayed on his feet!"
And i'll go "JESUS CHRIST!! no really, he came to my party...it was okay, i mean, the whole walking on water thing's pretty overdone..."
I'll be so cool.
And if he brings his homie, Moses, we can actually drive to any destination we want... but Yew tee to Hawaii would take 12 years, and by then the bus would be full of 10 and 11 year olds if i invite my friends from both genders. Not very fun..... hmmmm..
Then again........................... one is allowed to dream right??
Still thinking of what i should do for my own 21st.
Damn, its 8 months away.
edit/ To all my Christian friends, please take whatever in the previous paragraph with a huge ladle full of salt. I chose him because he's the coolest among all his other friends. All allah did was write his name in every random place possible, on the swiss alps, on a baby's ear, on some peas.... whatever, and Buddha, he kinda just sat there for a thousand years and voila!
Edit2/ okay i'll shut up now, and I'll be wearing bulletproof vests henceforth.
