I've a friend whose birthday falls on today - 14th February.

CNY + Vday + Bday. TRIPLE! THREE-IN-ONE! I thought it's so COOL!



On second thoughts, now I think, it's quite lugi.

It's already bad enough that CNY coincides with Vday. It just kills the atmosphere and the romance (dongdongdong qiang! Dongdongdong qiang! Dongdongdong qiang dong qiang dong qiang! Gong xi ya, gong xi, fa ya fa da cai!) . Throw in a birthday as well. Not only is a person tied down with CNY obligations (e.g. go visiting some long-time-never-see-see-also-see-once-a-year relatives) and can't really celebrate the birthday per se; but the person also runs a high risk of being so short-changed. You receive a present - and it's CNY + Vday + Bday all rolled in one. Uni-purpose. One size fits all. Three-in-one.


HAHA.


I used to think of getting married on my birth date - because it's a pretty and meaningful date. On second thoughts, better not. For one, I would rather have more anniversaries and celebrations together with loved ones. Secondly, I won't want The Hubby to give a present and say, "Nah! For you... Happy **th anniversary! And, oh, by the way, Happy Birthday, too." That'll be so sad.



I don't know; but I think, having two memorable events coincide together on the same day is the equivalence of halving the possible loving, sweet memories one can have and keep.






Strangely, I woke up this morning feeling so good on the inside. It can't be due to CNY because, frankly, each time the Tiger comes visiting, I turn 12 YEARS OLDER. The next time when the Tiger visits again, I would be 36 (by then, I believe in faith I would have at least 3 kids - with the oldest in primary school - by then!).

When I was 12, I was absolutely delighted thrilled to see the Tiger for the first time. With the passage of years, though, the sight of the Tiger is honestly getting less and less welcoming. Biology is unfair. Men in their 40s are STILL considered to be in their primes (just think of local TV actor 57-year-old Marcus Chin [Chen Jian Bing]). Women, however, in their mid-30s are already OLD, really.

Anyway, woke up feeling so good.






I believe I can get the best that I want to get, as long as my life is lived as such that God is on my side every second of my life. I don't believe in compromisation.

DO YOU?
