On My 21st Birthday…
January 20th 2007 -
People usually say that the 16th and 21st birthday are both very important dates in our life and therefore there is a reason to celebrate it. I used to think that birthday are very important occasions because when I was young, I never fail to have one birthday cake each year. Almost…
But as I grew older, birthdays felt less significance in it. So it had become just another ordinary day to me. And because my birthday fall in early January, that’s the time when school usually reopen and hardly anyone knows you yet. By the time you made friends, your friend will have to wait for your next birthday which is another year to come.
Well, I did celebrate my sweet 16 birthday. It was a memorable one. 
On my 21st birthday, I didn’t expect much from my friends or anyone. I really thought no one would remember it. But then…
… a friend that I got to know for less than a month wished me at 12am and also gave me a present. It was really sweet of him. He even took me out for a game of pool and later we had dinner.
… my mum bought me a birthday cake and we celebrated at home with my family. I also received an “ang pau†from her.
… my younger brother gave me an “ang pau†as well. But coming from my younger brother, I didn’t expect him to be that generous. Love you bro!
… my dearest dropped by after work to celebrate my birthday with my family. He has always been the sweetest thing and the best gift I can ever have.
… my friends called to wish me and some send me birthday wished through SMS, Friendster and messenger.
I really appreciate for all who remembered my birthday. Thank you. You guys made my day. *Hugz*

CincauHangus: I\’m not too sure about that one. Some say 16, some 18. But I guess for girls it\’s 16. How many guys actually call their 16th birthday, sweet 16? Hehe..
Did you celebrate your 18th birthday?
