Birthday

Birthdays must be some over-rated thing. I didn't feel quite up to celebrating the fact that I am turning a quarter of a century old. Maybe it was because everyone is on Raya leave, or away due to the long weekend. Somehow, it didn't feel much of a celebration.

The day before my birthday, it was absolutely crap for me. Everyone was hyped up over Laine's house-warming. So I guess it doesn't really matter whether anyone was gonna be around for my coffee sit-down.

Sure, a house is a bigger deal than a birthday.

On 2nd, I went out at 11pm to have dinner with a girlfriend, Cat. We went to the landmark of Kuala Lumpur. Maybe because I feel aged, I didn't want to go dancing. And because it was such a last minute thing, we couldn't round up enough people. It's only Shine. Who would want to go out last minute with Shine? So it was good enough. We had late dinner in Chili's and went on to a different location where there are pole dancing (once upon a time)

A quick call to Chairwoman and she confirmed that the little boys and girls are in the club next to where I am. That was a total turn off. We left in half an hour.

The day of my birthday, I didn't get up till noon. It was an awful feeling of loneliness. Which was an embracing welcome for my being. I didn't want to be rushed, I didn't want to be kept by time. It was just when I want it kinda thing. The only time I was keeping was the little get-together Raya plus my birthday celebration in my office at The Tower.

It was amazing to see my children again. I gave them each a hug. Hari Raya hug. I stayed till 6 pm. My children are amazing. They got me a cake.

That was probably the highlight of my day. I got home and slept early. I went to sleep. I was kinda depressed. Now I know how it feels like to turn a quarter of a century.

No big deal, no present from Steve. No Chairwoman, no Qert, no Jason, no Ju, no Fuzz, no "my-new-best-friend". Everyone that mattered, wasn't there....
