I'm turning 17!
It's THE TIME of the year when I do that routine "birthday" post. I'm gonna be one year older! Man, I really don't know what to feel- I'm not excited or anything. To me, tomorrow's just gonna be another day.
What's it about birthdays anyway? It's not like you'll magically feel a year older or anything. And you know the tradition of staying up to wish someone "happy birthday" at 12 midnight? Well I don't believe in it, cuz it isn't as if I was born on 12 midnight or something. I was born at 8.33pm people, and it would really make my day/ night if people wished me at that time rather than 12 midnight, 20 hours earlier.
The same time last year (my birthday eve), I had a really shitty day at work and I went home crying my heart out and bitching to my friends about everything and anything. I also worked on my birthday last year, but in contrast I had a really good day- I was blessed with sweet customers and my friends came to visit me at work :)
This year...
First and foremost, I don't think I'll care about Facebook wishes this year. Facebook is like... so 6 months ago, esp when you have Twitter and Tumblr. It's a HERCULEAN (hehe remember our GP paper?) effort to even keep Blogger alive, when my Tumblr is updated 24/7. And the last time I wished someone on fb was approx 10 months ago, so I really think people will return the favour by not wishing me anything. I'll probably get like 5 wishes or something.
Secondly, no I'm not gonna stay up till 12 midnight to see who's the first kind soul who remembered. The first reason is stated above, and the second reason is because I'm sick. Horrors of horrors. I have a sore throat/ runny nose and I have to wake up early cuz of guitar rehearsal tomorrow, so I'll probably sleep before 10pm today.
Lastly, I'm devastated because I can't treat myself to good food this year cuz of the said sore throat. Darn. I could've indulged in Macs fries just now but no, I had to settle for that lame corn cup and coca-cola with salt. And my mum got all her Christmas gifts from her colleagues already, 90% of them is cookies/ chocolate which is a no-go for me. What a tragedy.
My birthday wish this year IS TO GET WELL BEFORE CHRISTMAS, because obviously my sore throat won't just magically disappear tomorrow. I could actually write a parody of All I Want for Christmas Is You (change it to All I Want for Birthday is Food)... but nahh I have better things to do.
Ok gonna go make a scrapbook of my Bangkok trip now! Wanted to do a post about it, but 0 motivation. There are 3 things you need to know about it:
1) The shopping rocks. It's not a myth. But you just gotta go to the right places
2) The food is good and cheap! I swear I ate like 8 meals a day when I was there... I don't even dare to weigh myself now
3) Don't take the cab. This is why:
