21 is over

I can still remember how i spent my day during birthday.
I don't like surprises and party.
Ever since my "12 years old birthday party",
i've a not so enjoyable and fun party.
i saw the picture of that year's party on my table,
i'm smiling, and laughing.
it's not really that fun.
I still remember the mess, the argument....
my sister's 12 birthday party,
reminded me mine.
when almost the same incident happened,
i told her friends,
"let's put it together for Yvonne (my sister)",
its the frist and the last time of her inviting u guys.
not make her a bad memory.
I went through those.
Which is understandable why i'm not having birthday party for my 21st.
it's big, for chinese, its big, and people likes to celebrate and have party.
I made my decision,
on that day, i purposely went away from town,
i leave my home with my parent,
we went cameron highland.
I really enjoy a trip.
We did nothing there except for sleep,
eat and buy some stuff back home on the next day.
I'm happy and really appreciate those who sent their greetings,
i do, and that's all i need.
knowing that you guys remember the day,
and willing to spare so little moment to send the wishes.
This year i can have 3 celebration...
my birthday is 10th july,
but lunar birthday is on May....
and such a coincidence,
this year, there are 2 May according to the lunar calendar.
We missed first one,
but managed to catch the other two.
I just ate my cake at 2330 hour.
its a combination of american brownies and walnut brownies.
bored of cakes.
on top of it,
there is this surprise message from my Ma,
"Surprise! 21 is over"
some people might thought that i'm turning to 22.
but i'm not, i'm just entering into 21.
it meant i'm 22 in lunar calculation.
if u understand what i mean.
for chinese counting, the day u born, you are known as 1 year old.
After all my birthday celebration,
i wonder what is next.
I'm looking forward to the birthday theme for every year.
I love thinking over about those theme and have good laugh at it.
I hope to see:
"It's just 22, luckily its not 22 multiply 2!"
"Oh MY, 23 already.... Naw, u're still young compare to 32"
"One more year, and u're half of a average dead man"
"Ooooops, 25 and still nothing"
"Stop looking backward and have some sight"
"Most are already married at your age in those days"
etc.......
let me see.... i'm really looking forward to those. LOL
Phew, 21 and i'm getting ready to grow elder and wiser. =)
