Birthday!

Forget the blogging craze. It's the birthday craze!

Tons of people's birthday over the past few weeks and the weeks to come. Crazy! Let me list. Hmm can't really remember all but let me start from:

July 16: Beatrice
July 20: Shen, Calvyn Apek, Lye Yee and Puan Siti
July 22: My dad
July 24: GoonieMay, Kin Mun
July 26: Sen
July 29: Kah Ann
August 1: ME ME ME ME ME, Aemilia Teoh (though I don't really know her)
August 2: KahMay, My cousin Weirong, Karim, Darshen
August 3: Miss Tok
August 8: Irina, Chung Yi
August 9: Pikkaye
August 11: Nick (a)Quah
August 12: Don
August 13: Tara aka EmmaWatson
*EDIT* August 17: Gigi Ng Hui Gi!

CRAZY RIGHT? And there's more. I just.. forgot.

My personal hypothesis: Parents are too busy working so they hump during November/December when there's lotsa holidays. Therefore kids pop out at July/August! Makes sense hor?

Hump until no flesh

Anyway, birthdays are always the days we look forward to. As young kids, we refer it to the day we get presents. Toys, glorious toys! Cars, robots and legos!

As we grow older, especially during teenage years, birthdays start to give a whole different meaning. It means being able to spend some special time with your loved one. Or being able to have a worthwhile time with your beloved friends. This is also the time where we receive lesser and lesser presents. Friends start sharing money to buy you a gift you will treasure and appreciate, though expensive. Such as hamsters.

The older we get, the more we will reminiscent about our younger days. We will feel nostalgic, emo, and say to ourselves "let's just move on with life." After all, it is just a day to mark our first breathe in this cruel, cold world.

I was wondering if I would be looking forward to my birthday in years to come? What is there to be expected from? Would it just show that I'm a year closer to death?

P/S: You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
