Something unique

Nothing got me really smiling for the past few days until I saw this today...

Nice?

That's my bday dessert, specially ordered by Dad. It's 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream in coconut milk, and in the coconut milk, there's pearls (those u get in bubble tea) and fruits...all contained in the lovely self-made ice bowl. Pretty isn't it?

I didn't have a birthday cake this year. I was asking Dad before the dinner came if I could get a slice a bday cake..

Me: Dad, will I have a slice of cake? I want to make a bday wish..I've got one...
Dad: You want one? We can find it..
Mum: *in an irritated tone* Why must have a cake?!?!?!?!?!?
Me: Never mind..forget it..

It did ruin my mood for a while... I didn't understand Mum's reaction. She didnt see why a slice of cake meant a lot to me.. Take it as I'm just being a piece of shit then..

So, without a cake, I just had to be contented with making my wish by taking this dessert as the cake's substitute.

I made a xmas wish. But it didn't come true.

Do bday wishes come true then? Mine never comes true..but I'll just take a bet again this year...

I think my parents are feeling pleased about how they celebrate my bday for me every year. Mum was saying how special my bday is every year when we were in the car. It is..I don't deny it.

But then again, it isn't what I want. Yet, I know it'll hurt them if I tell them it's pointless. I don't need to dine in a fancy restaurant..have a big group of people dining in with me. It's not their fault anyway. They made an effort (and I do appreciate it). As long as they have fun, I'm fine. I know it's just one of the days in the year they tend to get slightly more excited.

Guess what my parents said when they gave me my red packet (since they didn't know what to buy for me cos I dont seem to want anything)?

"Hope you'll become cheerful again"

I hope so too. Thanks Dad..Thanks Mum.

Also, wanna say thanks to those who sent me bday smses. I was shocked to receive them, to be honest. And want to say a big thank you to Alex Kor, who got the florist to deliver a lovely bouquet of roses (very touched that he got this all planned even though he had been so extremely busy with his wedding, apartment and honeymoon..not to mention that he actually had to catch a flight today to NZ).

Oh..and also to Clayton for being so so kind enuff to ring me at 12 midnight sharp on 25th Dec to wish me merry xmas..and for the "A Happy Ger is a Pretty Ger" reminder...
