Happy Birthday : 19th Birthday






Finally, the clock struck 12, and i am officially 19 years old now. I woke up pretty early the day before, and it's raining again, probably it's the birth of a dragon. There are friends who already wished me 'happy birthday' on the 6th of December. Some through sms, some through internet and i was really happy. I always thought that i don't make much impression during my college time, so most probably my friends wouldn't remember about my birthday, and that i am just like a shadow, unnoticeable. So, i thought this year birthday will be just like any other days, nothing special. To my surprise, i had gotten wishes more than i imagined. A close friend of mine during college time had even wished me happy birthday 4 days earlier. Actually he mistaken about the date, haha, but still the wish made my day brighter. Then yesterday, my ex-housemate had also wished me through msn, which made me felt so happy too, at least i know they still remember me.

So, the night had a surprise for me as well. My housemates decided to go out for a dinner with me, though there are only 3 of us. I never knew that they actually remember as well, after all, i don't remember theirs (which make me feel so bad). So, we went out to a fancy restaurant, for some western food and the food are really good. We ordered English Traditional Herbs Lamb Chop (not for me), Millan Style Fried Chicken, Fish Chips And French Fries. Enjoyed ourselves, and i was really happy, perhaps knowing that my birthday wasn't really going to turn out to be a boring and lonely day.

Now the clock struck 12, and there are people starting to sms me through phone, wishing me happy birthday. They did, remember me after almost 2 years, friends from secondary school. Thought that they will not remember, after all, i couldn't remember theirs too (uhh, i guess i am really such a lousy friend). Not only that, my housemates had already bought a small piece of cake, just one small piece, with one candle on it, knocking my door and gave it to me. I was already feeling shy and still there was 'Happy Birthday' song sang by them with a guitar, i couldn't feel more awkward than this. But deep inside, i am really happy somehow. So, we took some pictures, after all, it might be the last chance we can take photo together, since i am leaving soon. Had some good time playing with camera and taking some funny and stupid photos, well just for fun. Probably it might be the last time...

So, at about 5 am at dawn, i got a phone call as well, wished me happy birthday, which made me really happy too, even if it's just a birthday wish. Then the morning i have got to go back hometown, and again the morning is accompany with rain as well. Got my hair all wet only finally got into the bus and soon, i am here at hometown. At least the weather has gone better, and the sun has finally come out. Everyone is smilling, and i guess that's the best present from them to me.

And then, everything's just like normal, nothing special. Feel sort of missing something or someone. But overall, it's a good day. Compared to last year, it was a terrible day, rainy day and had to travel, got scolded by taxi driver, alone and etc etc. Previous last year, i was in graduation trip with friends and celebrated together. And it's always raining during my birthday, i wonder why...

It's rainy day, cold day and my birthday...
