It's been months since I typed at my blog. Today's my birthday, my twentieth. This signifies that I am one year away from adulthood and on my journey towards aging. Many elderly will be thinking of smacking me if they see that sentence. Right, I was exaggerating about aging. I mean, I still have many years before I reach the thirty boundary.
It's like any other normal day today, just that it doesn't feel the same. I cooked lunch, cleared up, read, ate again and went to give tuition. Yes, this is how I spent today. It should have been special, shouldn't it? Well, last year I ate economical rice as celebration. At least I receive my pay today. Much better than last year. I had wanted something special for celebration, not just about money and work to get more money.
The bomb came from my mother just now, at 9.30pm. She said, "oh, today's your birthday". Apparently, she forgot all about it until then. I never had any hopes of her helping to celebrate my birthday. Yet she stretched the limits by forgetting about it. Well, I shan't keep my hopes up anyway, for the years beyond.
At least I received over thirty well wishes from my friends, some dear ones and some acquaintances. I also received some presents. It's all good.
Should never pin hopes on something so unrealizable.
It's special, alright.
