// double 2 //

Very soon, I'll be crossing the double 2 mark.
Birthdays are really paradoxical;
on one hand, you always look forward to it.
on the other, it is dreaded becuz you are reminded to add one to your age.
Anyway, I guess I should be thankful for surviving the past year
and being able to celebrate another birthday this year.
After all, life's unpredictable, isn't it?

Anyway, the older one gets, the lesser one look forward to one's birthday probably holds true for me.
When I was young, I always suffered from insomnia on 1st nov, from being too excited about the next day.
In recent years, however, 1st nov had become a day when I wanted to sleep early but can't, all thanks to exams or assignment due the next day.
This year is no exception, I'm rushing out ppt slides for a presentation.

On another note, this year's celebration with my family made me felt sentimental, I don't know why... a sign of aging? haha.
Simply hearing the birthday song sung by my parents, sister and aunt made me felt that I'm still a child in my parents' eyes. Loved.
I wish...
Every year, my family can celebrate my birthday with me, everyone in good health.
Even though I don't meet up with some of my friends very often, I hope that they are happy wherever they are, in whatever they pursue.
Despite having poor episodic memory, I can still remember the experiences I had with them, including times of enjoyment (holidays) and suffering (exams).
World peace; even though there is not much I can do.
