It’s really never too early to start celebrating a good thing. Even if that good thing means aging. The day started out with tough news which I would admit feeling very broken. Not for myself though but for someone else who shall not be mentioned. I shall talk about that when this good planned out week is over and when I can find the right words for it.

Wait… Celebrations prolly started circa 12:30pm on April 7th 2009 when I called out Wan Feng for lunch so we could both seek relief in a Steaming Claypot of Bah Kut Teh. Uncalled for, unplanned, fun. I always knew how to keep my emotions in elevated levels by seeking happiness in food.

…. and at about 6:00-7:00pm. Off to Little Taiwan SS15 we go for the original idea. Huei Ying joined in and drove all the way after hearing what had happened to me earlier in the day. Thanks Huei Ying!

Plus the original two people I spent my entire 3 years with in Monash Wan Feng and Shing Ying. Looking at flies, cutting up rats, scurrying by the culture room with our noses pinched to avoid the smell of growing bacteria culture.

All the girls who know me so well and can take my eccentric mannerisms, egoism and random quirks (I shouldn’t be proud of such things).

I had my very first makeshift Birthday cake, Birthday Thick Toast with peanut butter!

April's Bday 09 Day 1: Lighting up the Birthday Toast

In the most “April” of ways and at these times, I settle down to certain things with child-like wonderment.

I always wish for the same thing every year since my 21st Birthday.

“Come what may, I’ll take the bitter with the sweet, gains and the loss, love and bitterness. as long as at the end of my life, I’m a happier and better person. Oh and Screw It, just do it!”

I don’t believe in not telling people your wish because if you can say it out (aiyoh sounds like some personal development training thing) and mean it everytime u wish for it, it will come true.

Although I’m Not 30 years old or 3 years old either, but with the help of the girls, we decided that three candles should have three special meanings attached to them.

Yellow for Happiness, Red for Prosperity and Pink for Love Luck and Beauty. Eh money inside there I pinjam from here and there… I’m not that rich so don’t ever think of doing what I’m thinking you would do to me.

Thanks again to WF, SY and HY  who made the day extra special and being there for me.
