a very uneventful special birthday

what is your birthday wish, what do you want for your birthday?
i want to sleep.


and so i did. i slept at 9pm the night before till 8am this morning. that is how i rewarded myself. too many that might mean nothing but to me that was luxury.

i received enormously loads of sms-es. midnight till morning. but i was so dead tired i didn't hear most of it. so i open my eyes with these blessings. as i told many, im not good with this 'remembering birthday' thing... therefore i always feel super special when ppl do remember mine :)

i felt extremely thankful to God today. somehow there is a deep sense of gratitude that he had make this day. though my schedule is as full today. somehow i just have this calmness and peace to start my day with my favourite psalm139. must be the blessings and prayers of the many saints.

i was really greatful all the girls make time to meet me for lunch. you just don't understand how low our success rate are with meeting up ever since those two become mothers. and then i sadly go to the office. but i didn't stay long become my mum told me she cooked me a great dinner. i smile at the thought of how my friends and family will do all this for me when im unattached :)

and so that's about it. i have no date, no cake and actually i didn't receive any present today. but... i actually feel happy today. do i? maybe. i mean i just don't feel too bad. somehow i think i just don't have much expectations when im not attach. poor guy... hahaha (no wonder they always say i deceive them).

do you think you will be happier to receive what you wish for or to receive what you do not expect?

but sometimes what you do not expect is not really what you wish for :)
