Actually I've been given more than a year of advance warning. Sort of. Does prescience count? Because somewhere back in 2004, weeks before going into army, I sat around with the guys at the prata shop enjoying the last moments of carefree life. Half-focused on my meal, I listened to the bittersweet stories of the ones already in camouflage green. "HAHA" I butted in between the pauses, "for all I know I might be spending my birthdays in NS on some intense jungle training!" I should have kept my mouth shut. I wasn't even done with my mushy-chewed mouthful of food. YAAAY.. Next week from 5th till 8th June - 4 exciting fun-filled days out in the field, a character-building experience in realistic tropical conditions. Military manliness and high spirits roughing it out, the night star horizon will be my 21 candles and the wet muddy soil a metamorphical birthday chocolate fudge cake that I'll enthusiatically smear over my face in silly celebration. I was sarcastic for the last paragraph. My birthday doesn't exist for me this year. Bzzz'. Wipe out clean from my mind and body clock. A temporal flux would occur on the day and memories will only reveal a fluke-like deja vu. Worst to worst I'll treat it like February 30 - I'm 20 in 2005, strangely so in 2006, then a miraculous leap to 22 in 2007. Well wishes will be preferred to be of a somber tone, if gifts are to be presented, substance-induced amnesia would be nice, buy me alcohol thanks. 21's no big deal lah WGAF. I'm so adult already that certain age groups are prohibited to see me. The things I say and do, you don't wanna know. That being said, reluctant pissed-off b'day boy would like to take a break from the angst and say a couple of things. Dawn - Thanks for the early present. I really appreciate it. Yossarian Tan - I don't want to comment on your blog cos' I'll end up saying something superficial and airy-fairy as usual. Your post is right - You didn't study the subjects that would rake in the big bucks. Which then leads to depression & self-doubt? So in an alternate dimension where you're preparing for a future career that you most likely hate will have you end up happily ever after? Right. Relax. You are special and different from the rest, you know that. You have always been destined for great things whether you can help it or not. Ah fuck it like whatever I say means anything. Screw. Happy Birthday to me. |
