On a day like this.

Morning

Opened the door and discovered a bag hung on my door -- present from Yanli.

Afternoon

Grad mag meeting and late lunch with friends.

Took MRT with bf.

Night

Visited mum.

Took a bus that passed by that bus stop..

Supper with friends.

What can I say?

On a day like this, I ought to be grateful to those who have remembered me.

Ohana, Mel, Rahil, Mic, Salih, Jiayi, Yongen, Valane, Yan Hong, Wei Xin, Yu Han, Lanhua, Nelson, Ben, Tinghui, both Esthers, YiRong, Chewchew, Pee, Wen Jie, Lily, Janvin, Yanli, Ying Hao, Yan Ru, Tay Huimin, Yiting, Pei Ting, Eric, Sheng Kai.

And of course, my mum!

(Frankly, this is the first time I have received so few SMSes but I am secretly happy about it because I know that those who remembered are those who keep me in mind!)

Thank you, the people who have wished me, the people who have showered me with gifts and cards, the people who have had a simple lunch or dinner with me, probably without even knowing anything. But actually it was all I ever asked for, a simple day, like any other day.

Birthdays gradually lose their significance with each passing year, to me at least. It is hard not to recall that I had very terrible birthdays for the past couple of years, but I have to say, the simplicity of it this year suffices and makes up for those that were bad. And it is this year that I realised I do not like my friends to spend unnecessarily on me. Nevertheless, I appreciate all the effort in choosing presents or cards for me.

And I think I can never forget the best surprise I received last week.

I won't say this is a HAPPY birthday. I would say it is not unhappy, and because of that, I am happy. Another thing that makes it special is that I feel like a free bird in my own room. Stepping into my room each time always makes me feel that I have a home of my own, albeit merely a very small room. I like the freedom I am enjoying. It is totally a luxury!

Yes, I have a birthday wish this year. My birthday wish is that most (not all because I must be realistic) of the wishes of the people who love me will come true.

That said, a very busy weekend awaits me. And so...

JIAYOU GL! =)
