I turn 28 today. My birthday is on the 5th of April 1981 (it’s always Cheng Beng except for leap years) but I don’t make it a habit of celebrating my birthdays.
I remember less-than-optimal serotonin levels during my birthday, being in rehab during my birthday, and being so totally messed up that I forgot it was even my birthday! Birthdays are not exactly my favorite day of the year.
Anyway, I had an office birthday this year, thanks to SH (less than 3 you, always). She was kind enough to go out of her way to get a cake and a miniature helicopter (to commemorate my helicopter ride) for me. Thanks SH! π
It’s a nice feeling to have people remember your birthday and the people at work set up a diversion and got the conference room ready for the cake cutting ceremony. Thanks to Mimi, Vei Teck and all the others for showing up (and the ones who were there in spirit – thanks Joyce). Cheers! I appreciate the gesture.
You the best SH. I know what you did and I’m touched. My eternal gratitude for the office birthday on Friday. π
Cheers to Eiling and Yiling who were the first to wish me a happy birthday and the lunch invite next week.
Doris, thanks for the birthday wishes. I’m glad you remembered.
Cynthia, Zoe, Mel, Sze, appreciate the birthday wishes. π
Cheers Teng Loo for the birthday wishes. You didn’t forget the article that Karen sent us. π
Abby, my real estate agent, I suspect you read this blog from your text and I’m surprised you let me rent the place despite all that you know. Thank you for your birthday wishes. π
Thanks Cherie for the…erm, *cough* birthday gift, the single malt whiskey and the kolo mee all the way from Kuching.
The best birthday wish goes to Arthur, who sent me a text which goes “May you be as handsome as you think, as rich as your friends believe and may you have as many women as everyone suspects! Happy birthday!” LOL! I still can’t stop laughing. Cheers buddy.
To anyone I missed out, my apologies, here is a catchall – thank you everyone for wishing me a happy birthday!
Alright, this “Thank You” post has gone way too long so let’s go through what I did during my birthday. I went to the Nuffnang Music Bash on Saturday, dropped by Cherie’s condo after that to chill, and went to the F1 race in Sepang on Sunday. I just got home and I’m coloring my hair back to black now before heading to bed. My apologies for the disjointed post – I’m sleep deprived and I need to catch up on zzz.
…and finally, thank you all for peppering my Facebook wall with birthday wishes. You made my day. π
Oh, and if you want to give me a birthday present, I really need a wallet. I suggest Mudah.my – get it delivered to my office. π
Happy Belated Birthday
yo…happy burfday!

First to wish happy birthday on this blog, bro!
Man i’d love to see u carry on the blonde look, but I guess it’s too much to ask for, eh?

Thanks for knowing that I was at the office – in spirit – for your cake-cutting ceremony. π
Glad to know that your hair is black again. π
Thanks for helping me to “get rid” of the soju bottle or else my landlord will have a lot to say. π
Have a great year ahead, friend!
Aww man, looking at those old posts made me want to cry. It reminded me of my past 2 birthdays. Everyone was trying to get me to have fun — like a normal person — and I was too busy finding/buying/shooting heroin. I remeber how incredibly depressed I was at the end of that day when I realized that was not what I wanted at all. It was auctually the opposiste of what I wanted. I wanted a stupid office birthday party where you get stupid gifts, you talk to your family, and go to be happy. I HATE HATE HATE being and addict on birthdays. Birthdays and christmas. Christmas is a lonely time to be an addict. Here is to hoping my next birthday is better.
O yea, happy birthday too man!
Happy belated birthday. I’m late…..:-(
happy b’day hb.. i won’t be as notti as arthur, so with u good health and long life.. hehe

Myhorng: Thanks buddy! π
Joyce: Thanks Joyce! My sister was born in Kuching. My parents were working in Kuching then and came back to Sibu for Ching Ming. I was born while they were here – had a hard time finding a midwife too. I went back to Kuching after that, but I was actually born in Sibu so I consider myself from Sibu. π
Mike: Chin up, my friend. I used to be like that too, I like to remind myself how bad I was back then and how fucked up my life was. The best thing that happened to me was rehab. Now I’m clean and reintegrating into society. It’s a great feeling mate, I wish you all the best.
You know what you want, I have faith in you, that you are ready.
Thanks for the birthday wishes mate!
