i did not have huge birthday dinner thrown for me, no expensive gifts, no jeweleries, no flowers. what i had were sms-es from all my friends, overseas calls from those i loved jus to say happy birthday, simple cards that said so much, words handwritten, cards handmade and necklace custom-made. these hold more meaning than huge parties, expensive presents, roses.
my bf did not buy me anything, jus a simple dinner with my family, a cake with my favorite fruit in it, a card with the character i loved most and words that said so much more than a dozen roses. a simple card with his primary school handwriting made me fell in love with him all over again and reminded me why i chose to be with him in the first place.
my best friend did not celebrate with me, she wasn't even in Singapore on my birthday. all she had were 2 registered mails to me: a custom-made necklace and a handmade card, something she doesn't do for except those she loves most. nothing complicated, no expensive drinks nor cakes or even a peck on cheek; still, it touched my heart and made me tear.
2 girls in the center = us, the best friends.my mum never give me any presents, jus a card that tells a dozen words. jus a simple card and my heart swelled.
one of my male close friends who was busy with exams (and other stuff) sms-ed happy birthday and chit chat with me when he did not even bother answering other people's calls.
one who never remembers people's birthdays, who was so busy with work remembered mine.
one who was distance away called me on the day of my birthday on overseas call just to wish me happy birthday.
and so much more from the rest i loved.
maybe i am getting older, heart means more than things now.
words means more than actions. i love these little gifts more than grand birthday dinners or presents. thank you, all who wished me happy birthday. =)
