This is a little late
but who cares! A thank-you is still a thank-you.
So,
Thank You.
Thank you, who wished
me a happy birthday, be it at the stroke of midnight, or at the stroke of
midnight the next day, or even two days later today.
Be it via a sweet short
text or a long heartfelt message or a simple two words on facebook or a
handwritten pretty card or a face-to-face greeting with or without a hug,
handshake or gift, I appreciate it.
I have this inner ego
in me that worries whether my birthday would go well. I have this slight phobia
of something spoiling my day, like my parents wanting to go out for dinner and
then everyone is reluctant and they get into a miscommunication and everyone
feels forced to go out. Or like no one remembering my birthday at all. Or
feeling sad because it falls on Sunday and there aren’t classmates to wish me.
I can be so silly.
I really had no need to
worry. God had a great day planned out for me. What’s more it was a Sunday; I
practically spent my whole day in church with peixun and choir and service and
meeting… What an apt reminder for the start of my next year on this earth to
lead a God-centred life!
Also there were many
church friends who wished me, and some even had surprise gifts, which I really
wasn’t expecting at all!
One thing that had
caused me despair was that I couldn’t spend the day with one of my most
treasured friends… Since she couldn’t come, why not I go? So I dropped by, and
gave her a little something to perk her up for work. Even that little meet-up
could make my day.

We don’t even have to try, it’s always a good time!
