It Was Good After All...

In what seemed like a day that was uneventful despite it being my birthday, I was pleasantly surprised when my family came home with a large pizza. Now this wasn’t something I had expected, and it was my birthday present from my family for us all to feast on. Now it might seem that pizza might not be a lot for some people to be a birthday present, but to me it means a lot. It means that my parents still remember my birthday, and having a whole pizza is a rare thing for our family to have and I haven’t had it in a while.

And I was glad they got home before I slept, I was about to go to sleep, because no one was home and I was getting worried about my family. I had thoughts of the worst, it freaked me out, but thank God they are home now. I now know how my parents feel whenever I never ring about going home late. Maybe that’s a pointer for future late nights.

Add to that I get an email from the girl that I made friends with while in Indonesia, the one whose picture I put right next to my monitor where I could always see her. I haven’t much explained why I am doing this, or who this person is, but soon enough I will reveal all. Might even help myself understand why I’m doing it. But yea, I am happy that she still remembers me and sent me that email, I thought she already forgot about me, I mean I nearly forgot it was her birthday a few days back (the 3rd to be exact, so I don’t forget again). Hope she had a nice birthday too!

You know, if I really wanted to, probably could have done something with friends for my birthday, but I just didn’t feel like it. But I also didn’t want to be left alone and have this day unacknowledged.

There’s only one thing that kinda bugged me. None of my uni friends said happy birthday to me in any shape or form. I don’t expect any of them to remember, but they are regular users of ICQ and it shows a balloon next to my name. Hey isn’t that a dead giveaway. It questions the very nature of my friendships at uni. Are they just purely to help each other in our studies, and not extend to actual friendships as in long time friends? I dunno, maybe two years isn’t enough to be familiar with each other yet. Only time will tell…

Apart from that thought, what I just said that happened to me tonight has made a nice end to what seemed to be a pretty boring day really…=)
