I was reading my past blog entries and i realised i did record down how i celebrated my birthdays in the past (well back to 2007 at least, where it was briefly mentioned). And because of me not writing much this year i didn't write down the one this year tho....so in keeping up with the tradition, i decided to write a post on my birthday for this year....
=============================================================
Unlike in 2009, by September i am already a working adult(adult heh....i feel like a child still), and yes, i have to work on my birthday, though i specially requested to work earlier so i could get off work earlier and spend some time to celebrate my birthday myself.
Yes, by myself. All my friends were busy doing assignments, or had plans on their own. There's no one to celebrate it with me this year. I got alot of well wishes on Facebook, real-life and thru text messages though, so it's not all bad.
Though i wish to spend it with certain someone, but it was very unlikely, so i didn't think of it any further too.
My colleagues didn't even know it was my birthday that day..not even my boss...i didn't tell her the reason for my special request, and she didn't ask too....it was only until the next day then i know that she thought i had a special gathering to attend... LOL....
I'm being very secretive ehh? =P Come on i'm just low-key...
Perhaps the fact that no one was there to celebrate with me kinda pushed me to maintain the silence...i think none of my friends knew i got off work earlier too....maybe i prefer it that way cos i had a plan in mind...

My plans for the night after work? An all-night photoshoot by myself in Friendship Garden. I wanna do something EPIC. Initially, i thought of video-recording myself cycling around Kuching...but changed my mind soon abit later. At least, i thought to myself, taking pictures will take my mind off things. It might help in getting something out of the photography block i had then.
So after work i cycled first to the HTC shop to get my protective screen for my new phone(a present i got myself 3 days prior, a HTC Aria phone <3), too bad they don't have the leather flip casing yet, i wanted that too. I cycled all the way back to my apartment (i was already quite breathless and very sweaty, which is why i abandoned the video-recording, cos i didn't have the stamina for it sigh) only to find out my hsemate is preparing to go out with his friends, and they asked me if i wanna join them out(after much pressuring me to not go out on a photoshoot on my own), since they are going downtown for photoshoot anyway at the annual Lantern Festival Carnival.
Why not, eh? At least i got *some* company....
So after waiting for my shower to be done we all set off to town. There were so many people...and alot are holding DSLRs =S i brought my digicam along with my phone, and to my major disappointment both aren't taking satisfactory pictures at all; there was too much noise, and my digicam's shutter speed is too slow and everything blurs =.=!!!
That took a toll on my mood...they saw and kept asking me what's up. Told me i have to cheer up abit, it's my birthday after all. But no...i kinda felt empty inside. I couldn't take good pics! Sigh. The other thoughts come creeping into my mind. No cakes this year(i forgot to buy one for myself...sigh, have to buy for myself again!), no ppl i wanna celebrate with, no nothing...i wanted to do something epic to at least remember this day by, but even that was a goner...of cos i feel abit down, and it kinda showed on my face.
After everyone's done with the place we went to 101 for supper...i had some takoyaki (quite good) and my usual, the Kolo Mee i love very much. My mood eased slightly after the food and light chat, and not long after, it was time to go home.
Before entering my room....my hsemate asked me again if i'm okay. As usual, to many people, i said "I'm fine....its ok, its nothing". It's always that few answers....and seeing that i don't wanna go on anymore, he let me off and wished me Happy Birthday again.
=============================================================
And that's how my 21st birthday went. THE 21st. Quite boring, isn't it. But oh wells. Let's see how it will be in a years time...
There!! I'm done!! (sorry no pics tho my sorry line is a headache enuff to me). And, in case i forgot next year, pls do remind me to post abt it in the future! LOL! xD
P/S it's 0321 now and i should be sleeping. Right eye is itchy and red again. Argh.
