every month,when the 22nd comes along...i sing myself a little bday song.even though it's not my bday 11 out of 12 months in a year. feels like every 22nd is a little bit special...all the little bits of special accumulates to novemeber...when 22nd november finally comes,it's like Gretel's day to me.
and there are others who are the complete opposite...people who feel that bdays are just like any other days. just like people who feel that valentine's day is just a day that businessmen came up with to earn money...there are those who feel that bdays are not as special as they are made out to be..that bdays are commercialised...
and therefore..bdays doesn't require special attention?!?!
well,i do agree that people have commercialised bdays.but bdays are not just abt presents and having dinner.celebrating bdays is abt being treated specially because it's ur special day. it can be as elaborate as going for dinner in a fancy restaurant, as happening as going clubbing with a group of people, as quiet as being at home eating mee sua cooked by ur mummy...or as simple as having ur bf/gf sing happy birthday to u...or a hug from someone who remembered...or sms from people who remembered and who cared...
or at least that's what i think...
if i dun get those kinda big bday celebrations, can't i just have a teeny weeny one? really teeny one..with a teeny cake..and a teeny candle...and some teeny presents?
because while other people dun think bday celebrations are necessary...that bdays are not special...i still think my bday is MY special day. and on MY speciall day. dun i deserve to be treated with a little more attention?
because although this day comes every year...who knows whether i'll live to celebrate my bday every year? as the saying goes,"life is unpredictable"...and being able to go through 365 days is quite an achievement...so although i got to my 21st last year,doesn't mean i'll get to my 22nd this year..or my 23rd next year...so on and so forth...
so when each year of my life has ended...and when another year of my life is beginning,isn't that at least a teeny weeny bit special?
well,everyone has different views.and on bdays of people i care and love,i thank my lucky stars that they are born on their bdays and that they are in my life. and on my bday,i thank my lucky stars that i lived to see another bday of mine.
