Blue Ballad

It was my birthday several days ago. Quite a weird one I should say… and quite a peaceful one. If you wanna know how it went, then simplicity will be your best description for that one. Out of a dang lot of friends I have, only a few people greeted me with birthday wish, and to me, it wasn’t disappointment, though… rather it’s a good thing. Well, at least from this alone, I come to know people who really keep me cherished as friend (not all of ‘em, though… should exclude some). Moreover, the less people greet you on your birthday, the more you will be grateful for every birthday wish that goes to you.

Now, lemme tell ya ‘bout what I did during my birthday. Hmm… frankly speaking, I wasted my time on napping and watching dorama. Quite a pity, eh? Couldn’t really help it, I mean, the previous day, I just went home from a heck tiring retreat. After bashing my brain and body here and there, I just felt that I needed a good rest for both of ‘em. So, there I went, napping to refresh my body and watching dorama to get my brain out of faulty system called stress. Still, I managed to spare some time to have a little bit flashback stuff. This year, my birthday was both somehow special and not, compared to all my previous birthdays. Yeah, what do you expect? I never had a birthday that quiet before. Nothing special happened during my birthday, but the absence of something special itself was special. I mean… arrghh… never mind! If you can’t figure this out, just skip this part.

Then, what else? Iiiehh… should I list all the people that wished me a happy birthday? … no way, you guys are just kiddin’, rite? Now, there’s no way I will list all of ‘em, but still, I can list a few. There were some people that I actually expected them to greet me one, but they failed my expectation. A bad premonition? Nope, a good one in fact. At least, their failing my expectation gave me a hell lot of courage to really cast ‘em away from this heart of mine. Thank you guys for this one, I mean, this isn’t a kind of cynical attitude or stuff, but… ieehh… I am really grateful meaning that, uhh… you know; it would be very painful to keep you guys forever. I’m just glad that I have found a very exact time to let go of you guys. No, no, no… don’t have any resentment inside. Am feeling very happy knowing you guys, but still, over is over. Then, there were these people that I REALLY didn’t expect for, still they wished me one. Where’s Steven and Wenny? A very special thank should go to these siblings, though… why? ‘Cos I even didn’t know that they know when my birthday is. Last group should go to those who really fulfilled my expectation. Nothing special ‘bout this group of people, though…

Well, there might be nothing special happen ‘bout my birthday this year. Just passed it like I passed my normal daily life. However, I pondered a lot about life, to be exact, ‘bout friendship. Throughout my life, I have met quite a number of wonderful friends and I have encountered even more these days. To be honest, my birthday is getting less and less important; it doesn’t serve any special purpose for me anymore. I mean, I can evaluate myself everyday, anytime and I can plan ‘bout my life whenever I want. The thing is, life is not ‘bout how I celebrate my birthday or how I make my birthday special, but my life is about how I please God and how I cherish all my dear friends. Now, that’s quality we’re talking about here.

Okay, can we just go to the conclusion already? Hope so. To wrap things up, I am grateful to those people who wished me a happy birthday and to those who didn’t. I am even more grateful that I have God who has planned my life well that I met some wonderful friends that have coloured my life bright. I don’t care if less people take my birthday into their account, it’s not that important anymore. Cherishing those who are dear to me is the priority. To all my dear friends, thank you a million! No, thank you a billion! It might never be enough, though… (yeah, ‘cos what you really want isn’t a thank, but a plate of soto, nasi padang, dim sum, and stuff, rite? ^_^). Love you guys a lot, a DANG LOT! And just as what Vania said yesterday, may all of us be bound in and for eternity! God bless us!

I love you…

Wonderful people,

Wonderful family,

Wonderful brothers and sisters

Thank you…

For wonderful memories

That’s why, all of you,

Thank you
