wid asked me what i want for birthday.
i said it's so tiring to think about a birthday wish list, again.
and i'm getting older already, kind of strange to have a birthday-birthday.
and she laughed and asked, "how old? 33?"
yah, the big 33.
and before i walked out of the door to my lesson, i added,
"it's 33 with the 'th' ah.... don't 'tree-tree' me ok"
yes, seriously, come to think of it, there isn't really anything i'd want.
material stuffs, yes, lots, but whatever for? it's only a desire, a short-term desire.
but some of the birthday gifts i do remember getting that have really touched my heart:
- an A2 leather portfolio case from my crescent girlfriends in JC for my 17th birthday. i still have it now. it's been 16 years!
- an ipod when it first came out. from dear alex. it costs a lot.
- of course, trips to UK, Spain, lots of Bangkok trips, Taiwan, all from Alex. I've only ever bought him a trip to HK.
- a slice of birthday cake from my Crescent girlfriends during one of the film fest nights for my 27th birthday, if i'm not wrong. they said i've always complained i didn't get cakes for my birthday, but usually i don't eat the cake even if there is. i just love to complain.
- a slice of cake brought up to bus number 7 by a special friend as he ran off to buy it and ran back to the bus before it left the interchange. it was my 18th birthday.
- watched "The Phantom of the Opera" with the same silly person on my 21st birthday.
- a piggy bank with lots of coins filled inside from my Crescent girlfriends again on my 21st birthday. i had to carry that to the musical.
- the numerous clothes and bags from cheesepie benny and gerald. they are the only guys that buy me clothes. yaya buys me books. fabby sends me beautiful cards.
- the surprise cake the art teachers and my close friends at work got me. with a student who came to inform me that there was an urgent "happening" at the art room and i need to be there. i believed him.
i think there may be lots more. but well, i'm older now, memory dying. :)
