My Birthday is coming up...

...in a few hours and i cannot help but feel excited and also feel a sense of achieving another level of maturity and a pinch of sadness.

Not a few days ago (or weeks), i had in my head, a long list of things that i would love to have on my birthday. It should not be a surprise that most, if not all, that there were there on my wish list were materialistic wish items.

Admit it. YOU have a list of materialistic wish items too.

ANYWAY. As the day drew nearer, my wish list became shorter and shorter to only a few wish items i would love to have. In case you have not already figured out the item on the top of my wish list, then...tut-tut...we have obviously not been keeping in touch. xD Well, FYI, i want a new phone.

And i also would love a brand new closet full of new clothes. :D

And lovely cool exotic accesories of all kinds! (be it exotic indian style earrings or cool necklaces...etc)

And not to mention lovely pleasant surprises of any kind (i.e. friends have a surprise party for me) - hahaha! Honestly, i have always wanted this for a long time. NOT HINTING anything but it is really no surprise that everyone loves a good surprise every now and then in their lifetime.

And, i have been on a look out for really soft beautiful scarfs as an accessory AND as something to warm me whenever i am cold (which is most of time...LOL! If you had a chance to shake my frozen hand then you would know what i mean.)! So, it is actually a very practical and worth-the-money-spent kind of gift because of its multi-usage! That is killing two birds with one stone! :D

Also, i love solitude as much as i love the company of family and friends. On my special day, i would love the noise of groups of my friends and family laughing and chatting together. To surround myself with all my love ones, it does not even matter if you gave me a hand-me-down gift or a diamond. The joy you get when you see the people you love enjoying themselves and including you in every chat that they have and pay special attention to you for just one day, i think, that would be the best gift of all.

That pretty much sums up my wish list for my birthday tomorrow.

Sadly though, i may not be getting any of the above.

Sad case right?

See, my parents went to Ipoh to send my grandparents back home and that leaves my siblings and i at home. Not that it is terribly bad. But...something is missing... - my parents. It doesn't seem right celebrating my birthday without my parents. And as for friends, well, half of them are already getting ready to leave for Australia and also, some of them have already celebrated an early birthday for me - which was extremely sweet and thoughtful, so thank you (you know who you guys are!! xD)!!!! So, i am not expecting any big celebration to mark the end of teen years. LOL.

Bear in mind that i am not seeking for pity or sadness of any sort. It is just that, i have come to realise that really, what i truly truly want for my birthday is to have it spent with the people i love.

I still want a new phone though...xDDD

As for now, i can only hope that everything would be sunny and bright tomorrow. :)

Till then!
