Self-reflection

Today is a normal day like any other days...,
except that 13thNov1990 is the day i was brought into this colorful world.
It has been 20 years.
No more teens for me, i am considered as an adult now.

Birthday is not any unique day for me....i seldom celebrate it.
My first birthday celebration in my life was on my 19thBirthday.
Some ppl said is pathetic not to celebrate a day which only appear once in a year.
But i don't think so.
To me, other days too appear once, once in a year, & once in a life time.
So, Birthday is just a day.
But i am so grateful that i had my 2nd celebration in the States.
It's my 1st birthday in the States, gonna have 2more in the coming years.

On my birthday, i often think a lot.
I think of my parents who gave me the opportunity to be a part of this whole, to have known so many kind ppl who hv been helping me along, to have the chance to learn about so many new things, to have a chance to live.
I also think of myself, i reflected myself by going back into my deep memory as a child, a teenager, & as a 20-year-old adult.
All the memories of my past are flashing back thru my mind, those images are so vivid as if they've just passed by not long ago....
5-year-old me went to kindergarten,
6-year-old me performed Malay dance on the stage,
7-year-old me went to school on the 1st day & took a diagnostic test,
8-year-old me participated in sports competition,
9-year-old me was so nervous reciting english poem before a whole bunch of live audience,
10-year-old me was so sad for getting some 'red-marks' on my report card,
11-year-old me was a class monitor & a bad news hit me; poor me being diagnosed with some health prob,
12-year-old me did not study for UPSR & hence result is flunked,
13-year-old me transferred to another school without d companion of any primary school's fren; & being assigned to the lowest rank of class due to the flunked result,
14-year-old me stopped taking medicine & undergo the 1st surgery in my life; felt that i was at d edge of death coz being alone in surgical room was effing scary; & i received my Finals report card when i was lying on the bed after i woke up from the surgery,
15-year-old me went into the highest rank of class & felt SUCKZ to be surrounded by so many smart ppl; & 15-year-old me held a tiny little 1week old baby in my arms for the 1st time; that's my nephew who is now 5-year-old,
16-year-old me made a major decision not to be in Science-stream,
17-year-old me enjoyed the last year of my school life to the max!!!,
18-year-old me had a lot of nice memories & went to college for the 1st time,
19-year-old me started to enjoy & love my college life but too bad i gotta move to a whole new environment which is where i am right now.
20-year-old me is studying abroad, away from my place of origin, pursuing my degree & loving my life.
Thank you everyone who came across & left footprints in my life.
At this point of my life, i am so glad....& grateful for how i am now.
20years have gone....a lot has changed, & i am still changing, to be someone better.
I'm gonna appreciate everyone & everything which is given to me.

Everyday is a brand-new day,
Everyday is my Birthday as long as i am happy & live life to the fullest!....i am reborn everyday, reborn to be a better person!
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced.
Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.

I've officially HIT my twenties!
(i was hoping for a white birthday actually...too bad)
Anyway...........
Happy Birthday to me!!!
