Celebrating 34 Years On Earth
As I typed the title above, I recalled I once did the same during my previous birthday, I think that was 8 years ago, when I was celebrating (34-8=26) years old. Seems like certain things don’t change.
Anyway, I’ll be celebrating my 34th birthday in another 2 1/2 hours time. Every year I get depressed when it comes to celebrating my birthday. Not that I feel I’m another year older, but because I still don’t find myself as good as I had wished to be.
I felt worst on my 30th birthday, I thought I should be a millionaire by then, but I hadn’t become one.
I felt equally bad on my 32nd birthday, I thought I should be married and have my first kid then, but it didn’t happen.
This year, I was hoping to throw a big birthday bash and have whole bunch of people coming to my party and make me feel like a superstar. But I have decided instead, to go home and spend my birthday with people whom I care a lot.
I have decided to stop wishing for people to do something for me, to make me happy. I have learned, true happiness is when you can make others happy. And I know I will surely be happy this year. Happy birthday to me.

You must have read through more than just one page of my blog to be able to count the blessings for me, and for that, I thank you :)
I thank you too for your well wishing, and for the reminder that I shall continue to look forward to more blessings.
I’ll buy you coffee when I’m back in town ;)
P/s: By the way, I have had a wonderful time indeed. I’m glad that I had chosen to go back.
