Usually I celebrate my birthday by hanging out with friends at day, and dinner with family at night. For me it’s so normal that I don’t even feel so special about it anymore. This year, my friend told me that her parents never celebrate her birthday with her for past 20 years except on her 3 years old birthday. I shall skip how I felt that moment I heard about it.

The point is:

When we’re living at the best of our life, do think of the unfortunate ones so we will appreciate every moment we have; when our life doesn’t go the way it seems to be, do think of the unfortunate ones too as they live the way far worse that you and yet continue their journey without showing a sign of giving up.

This is the greatest and most precious birthday gift ever, and it’s free *cost few bucks of telephone bill-lah*
