Inspiration

Hmm…somehow it seems to be a trend to put up birthday posts.

So today’s my birthday…
I was born 22 years ago this day…at some location roughly 30km from where i am now.

Was quite surprised actually..got my first present yesterday…and up to now have gotten a few messages and wishes.

What i really want to do now…is go back to the beach…to lie by the sea…and listen..

listen as the waves washes up the beach….listen…as the sea breeze dangles in the nostrils…
listen…with someone by my side….just listen….and be swallowed by the night.

i’ve always had an affinity to water…

somehow, now looking back..i seem to be able to remember my past birthdays….well not too long ago..perhaps starting from 10 years ago..

when i was 12…
had my 3rd birthday party i think….planned it to happen after upsr..
invited quite a number of friends but only half turned up…can’t quite blame them cause i lived quite far away….but it was quite a bummer…and i remembered the piano shaped cake din have any black keys on them.

when i was 16
spent my birthday travelling on a bus from kl to sitiawan..a bus that was late by 2 hours…causing me to spend my birthday on the bus..

when i was 17
had a pre spm celebration i think…i remember having a bbq…having lotsafriends…and having lanterns! (i’ve liked lanterns for a certain reason…lanterns and water)…that was quite fun..

when i was 18..
celebrated my birthday in a pub..with 3 others…was in uk at that time…felt somewhat homesick..
in the mean time, a card arrived at my home in sitiawan….my one and only birthday card from a secret admirer..and it was authentic!

when i was 20..
first year in uni…was depressed that no one came to celebrate with me..or rather no one knew of my bday..when suddenly at 1am, 4 ppl came to my room…there wasn’t a cake..but there was some cookies,…and we ate and chatted till 4am…tho we wanted to last till the morning..

when i was 21…
had quite a surprise…quite a big group came to celebrate my bday in hall…felt that i truly belonged…there wasn’t 1 but 2 cakes…..the next day, i managed to drag my brother to the blood donation centre to donate blood..

now that i’m 22..
surprised by my first gift on friday.. thanks cheng wei…getting messages from ppl that i’d least expect to hear from…but it’s gonna be a quiet day ahead..

to everyone..have a great day…and let us remember those who passed on on sept 11…and in that learn that the price for hatred is high…may we have peace throughout and goodwill to all men.
