บท 113: The New Year Morning

When Joreen woke up, there was already a happy smile on her face. 

Last night had been spectacular— Waking up to the New Year's day count down, watching the fireworks and receiving birthday greetings from her family members who were still awake all made her giddy this morning. By the time she returned to bed, it was already a few minutes past 2. Normally, she would have slept in since she went to bed late, but this was her birthday. By 5am, her eyes were already wide opened. Reen was still sleeping soundly beside her and she didn't bother to wake up her older sister.

Today was a really special day because it wasn't just new year's day and her birthday, it was also her cousin's wedding anniversary and her uncle's wedding anniversary. So she was not surprised when she left her room to get a bottle of water, and a variety of aroma wafted into her nose.
