It's five more days to my 19th birthday. However, that feeling of excitement and happiness had long dissipated. Looking back on the past 18 years when i celebrated my birthday, it was nothing more than a mere dinner to mark this special day. Occasionally, a cake would accompany the dinner. As the years went by, the cutting-cake-making-a-wish procedure disappeared abruptly. If i did not remember wrongly, it ended its run when i was 9 or 10. More often than not, i celebrated my birthday at Jack's Place. It was anticipated - no surprises. Well, i was happy that at least we took the effort of celebrating it. Yearly the number of birthday gifts and well wishes were just a handful. On the actual day itself, everyone is busy in their own activities. Likewise, i would be busy with my own work and my birthday is just like any other ordinary passing day. Nothing special, nothing to yearn for. Soon, the clock would strike 12 and another day has begun. Life continues although at the back of my mind, i knew that i had grown older by another year. Do birthdays represent any significance? Just like the Lunar New Year, it's more of a get-together session for all family members and paying respects to the elders. An annual process which i don't look forward to anymore. These days are no longer of any meaning to me. This refers to me only.. i don't know about others, but that's how i personally look at these "special" days. I can't even recall the last birthday where i celebrated and can remember for life. Or did this day even existed? I yearn for one such day where i can recollect this good time. Probably i'm asking for too much. Thinking of those who can't even get a chance to celebrate their birthdays, i am considered much more fortunate than them. I'm getting emotional all over again. Guess i will stop here before more emotions are stirred up. My birthday is just another passing day which bears no significance...
