21st Birthday

I've been busy lately as such that I've almost forgotten my own birthday until I was reminded by e-mails and notifications. 21 years huh.... so fast it feels like.

Previous birthdays passed rather ordinary with no wild celebrations or sort (except during my 16's). Last year wrote a lengthy post to commemorate me being alive for 2 decades heh.

Anyway let's focus back to this year. Yes, this is the first time I celebrate my birthday out of Malaysia. Am glad that I've a bunch of great friends around to celebrate this occasion together.
As some of them had flight the other day, so we had the party a night earlier on the 5th.

Let the pics do the talking....

Bought this Hors-d'œuvre (オードブル, Oodoburu) set for 6 persons from Hotto Motto bento shop. Cost 5k yen~

The feast ended around 10pm and everyone left as still need to do last minute preparation going back. I headed back to my room without any suspicious and proceeded to process the batch of photos and upload it.
Moments later, they knock my door bidding farewell........ while holding a cake lol.

The following morning, headed to Nippori station with few of them to catch the train to Narita airport.

We reached at 715am, just 4 mins short before the train arrives.

Those who're going back.

The platform is much better than when I took the Skyliner last year.

The platform can be a good subject for panoramic shots like this.

Sending friends off can be quite a difficult task , not physically but mentally. Although I'm envious that they're heading back, but at the same time this will probably be the last time I'll see them for some time as we're going separate routes soon.

Well then, 'til we meet again friends! Thanks alot for everything!
