Today, many people asked me what I did last night and where did i go? Why? It's because yesterday was my birthday. People expected me to do something or received something special. Should I? I wondered...I didn't choose yesterday to be my birthday nor did I contribute anything so why should I celebrate something I didn't partake? Shouldn't we celebrate birthday dinner with our parents? instead of friends? Shouldn't we write a thank you card to our parents? instead of getting a happy birthday card from friends? Why should a birthday be 'happy'? I guess I am happy that both of my parents are still alive and well; I am happy that I know yesterday was my birthday; I am happy that people care about me to do something for me.
Thank you all for remembering it. There are many birthdays waits for me ahead, and I will be looking forward to every single one of them.
p.s. people in my new office tried to guess how old I am.... Their guesses are 22, 26, 27. So I should also be happy about that too :)
