so today marks the 24th year of my life thus far. the 23rd has been eventful, so for the 24th, i hope it would better.

24 seems so surreal. its like an age when one is expected to have a decent career, have some stability in life. yet i feel like a kid, somehow i don't want to grow up. reality forces one to do so anyway, anyhow.

so my colleagues and the sec 4 kids threw a small surprise for me after class. it was really swell of them to do so. i only expected a good night for texas and blackjack, so the cake and surprise was well, pretty enjoyable. thanks people, if you ever read this.

pang and stan, the 2 ever present lights of my life marked my birthday a day earlier on the 10th. dinner at asian kitchen with the delightful crispy duck. coffee and desserts later at tcc. really awesome agnes b wallet. edward joined us too for the night. much love to you guys, much love indeed.

so when the clock struck 12 midnight and made me 1 year older tonight, the first congrats sms came in from non other than her. bittersweet. yeah, leave it at bittersweet. at least the one which would matter the most came in.

so even though today its my birthday today, i guess it would be like any other normal day. work. teaching kids. marking assignments. but i will try not to scold them today. plugging into my ipod. getting that bowl of mee suah later on. walking down that alley of ang mo kio to the bus stop. will probably go someplace alone after work. sometimes, it just works out this way.

do birthday wishes actually come true? i made one last year..and i made the same this year. how i would love for it to come true, if only to taste less bittersweetness.

happy birthday to me.
