Birthdays are interesting because they let you see who remembers and how much you mean to them. You get some people who you haven’t spoken to you in months suddenly wishing you a great day (no doubt thanks to facebook reminders haha. but that doesn’t diminish it any more than say, if you were reminded by your phone calendar. like me.) and then you also get some people who you thought would rmb your bday and actually do something about it, but don’t.

I’ve never received a birthday card before this year. No wait, it’s not that sad. I’ve gotten cards from groups of ppl before, but never from a single person. Well, i’m not the kind of person who would personally address cards to people too so i guess i can’t expect the same. But the first personal birthday card i’ve ever received came from someone i’ve overlooked and frankly, did not expect. Come to think of it, she’s been a great help in recent times, and she is a good friend. Thanks a lot nadiah! The card was nice and not-gay lol. I reallyyy appreciate it a lot! Which now makes me feel guilty for not writing you one…

I was actually expecting someone else to be that first person, but that’s life isn’t it? You never really do know what you mean to others. In the words of Jeff Probst, “The problem with trust is, (i’m sure coach will agree) you don’t know it’s gone until it’s too late”. So true.

Nevertheless it was still a pretty great birthday. I had dental in the early morning on the day so i decided to head straight home after that to slack. Which made for a really uneventful birthday, but it was still fun talking with ppl i would otherwise not have a chance to.

Thanks nissi salt 2! They got a bread and calculator for me HAHA, it was really cool! Thanks a lot you guys!

Went out with family on sunday for the traditional birthday lunch at swensens, which erupted into a massive argument. Depressing i know, but it was probably coming eventually anyway. I wasn’t involved in the quarrel btw. It died down after a while, hopefully it’s resolved by now. I dunno, i fell asleep shortly after the quarrel travelled home. It’s emotionally draining you know.

Yeah that’s about all i’ve gotta say about my 18th birthday. Sure it may appear rather dull and all, but i don’t usually do much on my birthday, just enjoy myself in simple ways, like the traditional family lunch which used to be quite fun. :)

Oh by the way, my water heater blew up yesterday! It was shortly followed by an impressive recreation of a horror movie soundstage, no shit. More on that soon. Why is my daily life such an adventure but my birthday not -.-
