Alone. That was how I spent my 22nd anniversary on this miserable piece of rock we call earth. No fanfare whatsoever, just a nice book, two to three good movies, coffee, and slices of green tea cake (Thanks dudes!) to keep me nice and warm on the inside.
I was supposed to ride in the morning, but I woke up running a fever, with a terrible headache and terrible muscle aches. The pain and aches subsided as the day went by, but from what I heard, I missed out a rather enjoyable ride. My appetite's not been too good and I could only manage a small packet of "char siew" rice and two slices of birthday cake for the whole of today. I hope I recover in time for the race at the end of this week.
Yesterday wasn't a good day for me personally but I guess "you reap what you sow", and I paid the ultimate price for my absolute lack f discipline and focus. I blame no one but myself for the poor showing. Lunch after that episode more than made up for the earlier disappointment and I must admit that I was really touched by the birthday cake and all. Thanks a lot guys and gals. I meant everything I said during the lunch before I sliced up the cake. Uni life thus far has not been turning out as how I expected it to be but your company and companionship, through the ups and downs have more then made the journey thus far worthwhile. I have been been quite an arsehole at times but... hey... it comes with the package aye?
My parents and my sis brought back a really nice cake from Taka too and that was pretty much the highlight of my 22nd Birthday. So... with that... I guess its time for me to hit the sack...
