2nd last day

Check out this article. I think it’s worth the read, only I haven’t got the patience to read it.

I’m darn bored over here. It’s 10.45am precisely and 5.30pm seems to be a zillion years away.

I have ran out of blogs to read, thanks to my friends who never update their blogs regularly (grrrr), I have cleaned my inbox, I have read the news, I checked my blog, read a few articles. Now, I have got nothing to do except to stare at the screen and believe me, it’s one of the hardest thing to do right now.

The birthday was a simple one. White chocolate cake (yum) and dinner outside. Took pictures. Gifts from my brothers and sister were cute. Parents gave me a pair of pretty gold earrings, which I couldn’t wear. I’m so used to wearing thin silver earrings, the earring hole has shrunk one size too small for gold ones. Besides nowadays they seem to make gold earrings with the ‘trunk’ fit for the earlobe hole of an elephant, it always bleeds when I try to wear it.

Last night I was lying in bed, thinking how birthdays seem to lose their magic, as you grow older. It was only then, when another part of my mind reminded me that I had my family to share the occasion and there are some people out there who don’t even have a cake for their birthdays. Funny how I seem to entirely forget what I have and focus on what I don’t have, and then be filled with a twinge of remorse when I am reminded once again to count my blessings. I’m a very blessed girl, with a good family, a good boyfriend and a good set of friends but I tend to forget that a tad bit too often.

The bf forgot my birthday. Called me only in the morning to wish me. One of my friends said,”Cheh, apa ni forgot birthday all, macam married couple only”. (Loosely translated:-Cheh, What is this..forgetting birthdays like married couple only?) But I like it when he forgets at times coz that’s when I get extra loving words for the day. =)

My grandpa who never forgot any of my birthdays for 22 years and never failed to visit me on each occasion, forgot the 23 and I had to call him at 11pm last night to get his wishes. Gonna visit him later after work. He’s getting sicker and sadder each day. I wish I know how to ease his pain. Growing old has been hard for him.

I parked at my usual plot today, and was looking into the car mirror,adjusting my hair when a Gen-2 entered the plot beside mine, music thundering, and with tinted windows. Ignoring it, I was back to my mirror and when I looked back, the driver window was rolled down and the guy was looking at me with a cheeky grin. It was the same guy who asked me why my car was ‘senget’ on the first day. When he saw me looking at him, he mimicked the action of putting lipstick and mouthed the words, “Tak pakai lipstick ka?”.

Tak guna..He’s cute =)

Ok, now back to my time watching job. The clock is ticking ever so slowly, tick…tick….tick…tick…tick……tick…..tic…..ti…..t….z……zzzzzzzzz…..

P/S: Thanks for all the smses, calls and greeting cards and also the blog comments on my birthday.
