^^MY BIRTHDAYS^^
Every year come birthdays, people anticipate what they would get, their presents, what they would wear. For me, every year come my birhtday, I think of what unlucky things will befall on me. Eversince I was in Primary One, my birthdays were plagued with misfortunes.
When I was 7, I had mumps.
On my 8th birthday, I fell down the chair. (Imagine the humiliation of a P2 thickskinned and quiet gal at the back of a class. Bang!)
On my 9th birthday, it was the 1st week of my chicken pox.
On my 10th birthday, Mum gave me a $10 note and I received a nice Bobdog wallet! I brought it to school. On that same day, a girl in my class reported to our form teacher that I had stolen her ten dollar note. I refused to admit and cried for hours. Then, they found her note in the field under the bench. (watch out! I can still remember your name: Zhang Hui Shan. Nobody likes you. Say me fat! You are Fat as well! Bleah!)
Sorry~went a little out of control.
On my 11th birthday, I had a tiff with my clique. We were arguing about Chen Han Wei cos I said that he sucks. The whole clique was offended. Well~ kids..
On my 12th brithday, I had a cold war with my cousin. But everything was resolved when I got the mickey and minnie photo frame.
On my 13th birthday, I got a titanic organiser from my cousin. That was the last present from her, the last I wil get from her in my life. I also got a big big looney tunes cup from my clique. But on that day, I flunked my history test.
On my 14th birthday, nothing happened. It was the most quiet birthday, the most lonely one too. But thinking back, by far, it was the most blessed one.
On my 15th birthday, I received a discman from my cousin. A different cousin. I should be happy...a discman! not the bulky kind. But then again... we all know the reason for the present. He was giving on behalf of his sister...
On my 16th birthday, the SJAB gang celebrated for me! it was sweet because they TRIED to make it a surprise. But surprising me was hard. It was fun because my juniors were also celebrating together with me. My Jing Ying Bu Dui.
On my 17th birthday, my Jing Ying Bu Dui lost a member. I had no celebrations because birthday cakes left a huge impact on me. Nothing can ever be compared to a very pure birthday celebration given to u to make u happy, not to give you loads of present so that your birthdays will be over and done with. Anyway, I was so stressed up that I forgot my birthday that year. The 1st time I forgot my birthday.
On my 18th birhday, I received lotsa presents. Very beautifully wrapped by Yilin. And (though less wrapped) Florence. Pam msg cos she remembered. Then my cousin's $200 Taka voucher. It was a very materialistic one.
On my 19th birthday, there was a 2nd attempt to surprise me. Yilin bought a large Swensen ice-cream cake to my place. I was happy, my first ice-cream cake! But she failed at the surprising part. Haha.. sweet memories. only 2 of us sang the birthday song. Nig bought me a Panasonic MP3 Cd player with a flat speaker. Jia en and Xueli got me wallet. Flo got me wallet. Bey sent a wallet from Aust. I wasn't feeling gd despite all the wishes. In fact that was the worse year in my life. I did badly for A's.
On my 20th birthday, I only wish for peace, peace in me and peace around me. I want to be quiet, to embrace the souls of frends, families and well wishers. I only want a birthday that is not special. For once, unlike others, I wish for a plain day. But guess what, I failed my OB essay and had to re submit it. The deadline is on my birthday.
God or Satan is getting creative in planning my birthdays as year goes by after another. When will my life of unhappy birthdays end. When my life ends? I only wish for a normal day...
Where do I go?
