Happy Birthday to Me!

Strawberry cake from GLACE, sweetly present by my company, chose by PS Chua.

2012, is a quiet birthday celebration for me. Apart from the annual ritual by my company, it has been many years after, my first time NOT having any celebration with my family. This time, I would be celebrating my birthday on Song Saa Private Island. Though my holiday trip was planned months ago, but I kinda of miss the 'surprise birthday party' I had last year. Things changed, people changed. That's all I can say now. 

Ever since then, I feel my family is incomplete. We no longer feel the same, everyone is busy with their own life. We no longer share like before, no longer as close as before. I miss those days. I miss every bit of it. On and off, visions of those moments, reflecting in my mind. I asked myself, why are we like strangers now? I am not pin-pointing whose fault but I sincerely wish that all the unhappiness quickly get over and let's move on. Life is just that short and vulnerable.

I'm saying all these because I want to let you know everyone 'cares'. We are grown-ups. We know you well and more than any outsiders. They might be your pillars for you to lean on for this moment, but what about the cushion that let you sleep better at night and the blanket that covers you from wind and coldness in the past. You might have lost them somewhere, somehow you can't remeber where is it, but if you think back again slowly, you will remember where you left behind.
