birthdays

Some dates you just can’t remember. Like when one last paid the milkman.
Some dates you just can’t forget. Like Christmas and April fool's.
Some dates just happened.

Remembering an old friend’s birthday is a hard task without a diary. The only time we made contact was when our paths crossed on facebook. Which, when having more than 400 ‘friends’, is more of luck than coincidence.

For this friend however, it’s a “happened” date. Contrary to my dad’s opinion of celebrating “everyone’s” birthday as a form of frivolity of youngsters, every year I send a greeting, more like a reflex action than something I struggle to remember.
And hold my breath till I get the reply: “OMG YOU REMEMBERED. Thanks Sarah! Nice to hear from an old friend :-D”. It’s a way of making sure we still remember each other.

Wei Chuen, happy 19th! Enjoy your last teenage year. God bless and take care =)
