A Silent Birthday

Dear Bloggie,


20 years ago, on the same date as today and 1 minute earlier than this very moment (I purposely blog at this time and date geh.. hehe.. ; ) ), I was born into this wonderful world with no worries, no expectations nor hopes. I was just a small little infant who barely knows anything. I didn't even know what does the word, "Birthday" meant then. All I knew was to cry when I feel uncomfortable or smile when people "sayang" me. That's simple! That's how babies should be like, right?

But as I grown up, I started to learn many things. And the desire in me of achieving something in life grew stronger... while things are getting more complicated than I could ever imagine! Perhaps.. am I expecting too much? Is this the reason why I sometimes felt that there's some kind of emptiness in me? I don't know...

Well, I was expecting something nice gonna happen to me in this very day. After all, it's my 20th birthday. I am no longer in my TEENage years but from today onwards my age will start with the number 2 (for another 10 years of course) already - I'm a grown up Lady. Furthermore, today is no ordinary day as it is our YDPA's Birthday as well. So I am naively supposed that today must be one of the most happiest day in my life. But oh well.. I guess as a human being, we can't really expect too much, huh?

And so, my b'day passes on.. just like that - with no cakes, no presents, no hang-outs but AT LEAST there were some birthday greetings that I received through my friendster, msn and sms from some of my very thoughtful friends. Thanks guys! It REALLY meant alot to me! >0< And not to forget - my parents who greeted me right after the clock strucked at 12 a.m!! Oh, I'm touched! I guess FAMILY really is the most important aspect in our life. Thank you mummy and daddy!!!

So it really doesn't matter whether you'll get a big delicious b'day cake, nice presents or a huge celebration or not. But most importantly is those b'day wishes that comes from their heart. ONCE again, I would like to thank everyone for being so thoughtful of me. Thank You!! Domo Arigatou!!! ^0^

Well.. I must admit that if I am still a kid, I must've been sad as it didn't turn out as what I've hoped for. I still remember when I was small, I asked my friends about what day is today (hoping that they still remember), and guess what was their answer? "Today is Monday" (swt.. =,=). But I still didn't give up and asked another friend of mine. Being a quiet intelligent girl, she answered, "I know! Today is 2 days after the Agong's Birthday" (double swt..). After hinted for TWICE, I decided not to ask anymore and just let it be. (Flashing back these cute memories, I found out that I was quiet "muka tembok" (thick skin) that time! Haha!! ; P)

When I got back home, to my dissapointment, EVEN my family had forgotten my b'day! T_T So I cried silently at night. That was consider as the ONLY year where non of my family members nor friends who remember my special day. However on the next day, I saw a Happy Belated B'day card on my cupboard which says, " We never forget your b'day." (oh.. how sweet! ^^) and I was relieved as my family still remember my b'day after all! And what's more! Two of my friends gave me 2 cute notebooks as a belated present on the same day as well! Yea!! ^0^ I can't really recall how happy I was that day. That 2 little notebooks might look nothing to some people but to me.. that was the ONLY present I've got for that year (not to forget - the belated card from my family! ^^).

Oh well, as I grown older I finally realised that materiality isn't really that important. What's more important and valuable is the LoVe and CaRe that you share with each other - be it with your family or friends. Okay okay.. I know I was a bit naive last time, who always feels that every b'day must be accompany with at least a cake or a simple gift. But hey! I'm all grown up ya know! I'm 20 already!! And I do understand the different aspects of life..

Hmm.. but if you think in a positive perspective, I'm actually very lucky to have my b'day to fall on this auspicious day and should be very happy. Know why?


Coz the whole 26 Million Malaysians are celebrating for ME today!
Hahahaha!!! ; )


And oh ya, here I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mummy and daddy for bringing me into this wonderful world! Long Live to both of you!!! ^0^
