Wake me up when September ends
It's October, ladies and gentlemen. It is time to wake up after a whole lot of emotions in september. It is my 1st birthday after I was reborn in October last year. I don't how I feel. Perhaps alot more relieved than energised. I mean it is nice to get in touch with your emotions. It is the only way to make me feel still alive but it is also a very draining way.
Let's celebrate my birthday. It's technically my birthday isn't it? Hmm, how do you celebrate your birthday your first birthday in style? A cake? With music and guests? No. That's not happening. The thing about growing up is that you are no longer bothered by how many people actually celebrate it with you but rather who are those that celebrate it with you. Sometimes I wonder if a birthday is worth celebrating at all. Well, a rebirth is worthed celebrating because it marked the emergence of someone stronger and better. At least that's what I hoped.

A 2 shaped cake with pictures taken in studio. I was in my red cheong sum and my ChunLi's hairdo. Not that I actually remembered that, there are just scores of pictures to remind me of that.
9 year old
In that era, the birthday kid would always prepare some goodies for the classmates. Snacks like Kit Kat, candies, maybe an eraser or a ruler nicely wrapped up for about 43 other kids in the class. Yah of course the teachers would also get some, only bigger. I am not sure if they still practise this now, last heard about it 2 years ago that kids still do this. Only that it costs more now.

I had my first party, to be precised, a party inviting classmates, friends and family. I had parties on and off but not at this scale at that time. I remembered chocolate cakes, extra spicy curry and lots of crying kids. And not inviting crush of the moment. I must have been mad.
18 year old
4 good friends celebrating our birthday together. Lots of fun and chicken wings.
21 year old
Invited 60 people, had a cake that could possibly feed the army as one of my then crush put it. The biggest scale to date.
24 year old
Had enough of the world. Wanted a real small and initmate meal at home. Dad passed away exactly 1 month later.
25 year old
Had dengue fever on the day of birthday with a black forest cake.
