I forgot my birthday…
Personal November 9th, 2007
I totally forgot about my birthday. Haha… I had been so busy with studies and work that it totally slipped my mind until my friends mentioned to me about it. Actually, 1 or 2 people had been saying that my birthday is coming… but it always seemed so far away that I brushed it aside and totally forgetting about it.
Well, the good thing this year is that… it’s next Tuesday. Yes, it’s the 13th November… but you know, I sort of stopped celebrating it after I reached some undisclosed age and that’s probably when all your friends either go overseas for further studies or start working somewhere, and somehow, everyone just disappears. Well, maybe I really don’t have any friends after all.
So, what am I going to do this year? Frankly, I have no plans. It’s probably just 4 days away… but I thought it’s really kinda silly of me to go buy some cake and getting people to celebrate with you. It’s just so… erm… don’t really know how to describe it.
I remembered there was once (I can’t remember when), when my circle of friends will start planning for someone else’s birthday when it’s approaching – and it sort of became a routine, especially when some friends in the circle are not really cliquish with the birthday boy/girl, but everyone had to go because it was already a “custom” of sorts… I mean, it feels funny though. Hmm…
So what would I like to do this year? Erm, I can either
- Join the ping.sg gathering next Tuesday that’s close to cancellation
- Hope for some friends to celebrate with me (don’t know who will ask)
- Get a few friends to have dinner with (don’t know who to ask)
- Do none of the above, and just pack my stuffs after school and go back to pig out (safest, best option with zero expectations)
- Stay at home and blog more
If you were me, which option will you chose? =)
