A Quarter Century Me…
January 4th, 2009Salam
Greetings to all my friends and foes.
It is that time of the year again, when people see me with weird faces..
Yeah, my birthday. 25 to be exact!
A quarter century. Man, i think i am old if it is said like that. But getting old is not the thing i am afraid of. In fact, i am planning on staying here until i am about 125 years old!
May God gives permission for that.
The birthday celebration for me is really not neccessary. As much as i love to organize party’s for my friends throughout the year, I am not fond of having a party for myself. Had been trying to avoid for years, but I think people feelthey are somehow ‘terhutang budi’ to me. Believe guys/girls, all of you don’t have anything to ‘pay back’ to me.
Whatever help or guidance or happiness or experience or advice that I gave to you (if any at all), is purely for the sake of benefit for all of us. Despite how I say this, people will still rush and have celebrations for me. Last year, I had to bear 6 birthday cakes!
The irony is, I don’t eat cake that much. Hahaha..
But the thought counts a lot for me. I will remember all the things that all of you did to me. Believe me, I shall remember.
This year seems to be somehow interesting than previous years. I had been to close to uncle’s family, who is the Deputy MD of YATIM. His family threw me a big party.
Thanks uncle, auntie, and everyone who were present there. Especially those close knit friends a.k.a juniors from 2nd Residential College. The food prepared were really from the heart. As auntie said, uncle himself suddenly wanted to cook mee goreng and other food for the party. I had to eat a lot to repay all the good things prepared for me.
**********************************************
Thank you for coming and sharing my day.
Hope comes from loving, and love comes from friends.
After you left, I was left with the stars,
Near stunned by the grace with which such a day ends.
Know that your presence helps fashion my way in life.
You are the fields on which my life depends on,
Opening vistas no heart can convey,
Unloosing sweet music memory that now will be ours.
***********************************************
Today, it made me feel honoured and I hope the spirit of friendship,the laughter, the tease and the happiness shall linger in all of us forever!
Thank you..
