I don’t really know how to go about this.

I’ve been wanting to write something along these lines ever since Marina posted about her birthday in July. At the time I thought I probably won’t feel as loved as she did. Now, I still don’t know if I’m as loved as she is, because, it’s so hard to compare the gifts and the thoughts you’ve received for your birthday. I doubt I would ever know.

1. Birthday wishes.
- The first hour after midnight was the best. Pei, Jason, Yin and Marina were all on my GTalk, which was blinking like crazy, and I didn’t even have time to surf the internet.
- There were a total of 24 people who wished me happy birfday on Facebook, one was a day late, one was two days early. It took me 40 minutes to reply to them all.

2. Gifts and whatnot.
- Marina’s Graffiti on my Facebook wall, her blog post, and something else I don’t know yet.
- Pei’s two drawings: one featuring Tegoshi Yuuya whom I told her to draw for me, another was Tegoshi Yuuya, Chinen Yuri and the members of Arashi. They’re both posted on my wall along with my two favorite pictures of Inoue Mao and Matsumoto Jun. The best part of it was, she had Tegoshi sit on the Katakana リ (ri) and drew ‘x2′ in block letters beside it. lool.
- Two cakes: One from my parents who came here to visit and to celebrate my birthday, another from Lulu.

- Went to see Superbad with Anne. It was a very comedic movie in that, it was filled with stupid humor (think Pink Panther with Beyoncé and Steve Martin) and not witty humor. Also had the chance to watch 3 Will & Grace episodes with her earlier at night.
- Went to Star Karaoke. I was really looking forward to it, but it was not as fun as I thought it would be. But!! But!! There were these three huge-ass binders that had all these Korean songs at first glance and what number they corresponded to. I took the time to look closely into it and found that it actually had a pretty impressive and decent J-pop section. Some of the songs that lifted my eyebrows were Happiness by Arashi (I would’ve gone crazy and semi-demanded to get to sing it if I liked it even a bit more than I actually do), Hey! Say! by Hey! Say! 7 (someone’s fangirling right now lool), Yuki no Hana by Nakashima Mika, Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai by DREAMS COME TRUE, and a bunch of others I can’t remember. However, the songs were pretty good and I actually got really really excited!!! Unfortunately, when I asked someone how to get the songs in the books, they told me that in order to input those songs, you had to change the system, and so, I was afraid that the system would be in Korean due to the fact that the whole binder was filled with Korean, so I didn’t really experiment with the whole computer and the machines. The songs that I sang were 发如雪 by 周杰伦, 我们的爱 by F.I.R., 坚持到底 by 阿杜, 江南 by 林俊杰 among others I can’t remember. Overall, it was pretty good.

3. Overall reflections.
I haven’t had a birthday party in *counts fingers* six years due to the fact that someone got hurt the last time I held a party and I just didn’t want the hassle. I have to say that the first hour after midnight was the best, that’s what ‘The truth’ was referring to. It was the first time I had felt loved in a long time. (On the bus on the way home though, I actually realized in that 24 hours from midnight to midnight, I didn’t drink a single drop of ethanol! I got to drink some today, but I didn’t really like it.) Thanks to everyone that wished me a happy birfday <3.

Note: ‘Birfday’ is neither a typo nor a spelling mistake.
