I drafted this on my birthday last month but I never got a chance to finish it. Anyway I'm just gonna rewrite everything.
This year's wasn't very festive I might say but it was special in some ways. It was definitely very special in my head, remembering all the nice birthdays I had in the past :) When mum got me my first make up (unexpectedly because she was always against me putting on make up at that time), when friends gotten me cake, when the people in the hallway sang to me (after a friend made an announcement), when my roommate threw me a surprise and most of all when we have family dinner on birthday nights.
I appreciate all the lovely things that I received but I wonder if I don't give enough. I know I don't. I'm getting older and there is just so much that one can do. I believe anyone can give, to the family, neighbors, community, the sick, the poor, the unlucky. The war victims, Muslims in other countries who are slaughtered, whose rights are taken from another human being without any mercy and humanism at all! There is so much that one can do.
And yet I'm afraid I keep wasting time. Wasting energy.
This was not my initial intention of a belated 'birthday' post. But there's just so much being said in my head at odd times with not many people around here to share with. I miss everyone.
Time is priceless and we can never get it back. I have done many wrongs to 'my time'. I haven't given it justice. We don't know how much time that are allocated to each of us. So while we are showered with the benefit of having the time to be with our loved ones, lets not forget to contribute to a cause much bigger than our own life.
Just a little something from my aunt and cousins :) Thank you for the thought.
