god bless you, everyone

first, there was dinner with the family (and friend).

friends came over uninvited, brought a cake and sang me a birthday song.

i received the odd phone call from people i haven't met in ages:

"just wishing you a Happy Birthday! have a good one!"

smses beeped in on occasion.

"oh, great... 365 days a year and you message me to work on my birthday..."

but low and behold out pops a friendly name:

"Wishing you all the best on your special day!"

IMs were left flashing on my tool bar the last couple days, all with birthday wishes.

was brought to Malaysia for some "local food"... best wanton mee i've had in ages.

i was content to stay at home and play video games, but no... you guys had to come over with your surprise cake and drag me out to another country and call me out of the blue with inane messages and well wishes...

thank you all.

god knows i don't deserve the love and care you've shown me, and you all know even better i wouldn't have done it for you...

thank you.
