Kalau tiada orang yang wish atau sms mengucapkan selamat hari lahir, alamatnya memang lupa terus. Dulu masa guna phone number Maxis, nasib baik la Maxis ada free call pada hari jadi anda. Maka aku akan sedar bila dapat sms Maxis cakap "yeay, today is your birthday. You received free call to any Maxis number. Talk whenever you want, whoever you want ...." (ok, aku exaggerated...) ... mula la aku call semua nombor Maxis yang wujud dalam telefon Nokia 3310 itu.
Selepas berpuluh tahun kita hidup, apa sebenarnya yang kita telah capai? Pada level mana kita berdiri bila dibandingkan dengan garis rujukan. Banyak orang akan membandingkan tahap berdasarkan tahap purata insan separas mereka. Ok, tak faham kan?
Sebagai contoh, katakan kita sudah mencecah umur 28, kita akan selalu tengok orang lain pada umur yang lebih kurang sama dan membandingkan tahap di mana kita berdiri. Berapa gaji? Anak berapa?Rumah besar mana?Pakai kereta apa?
And yes, I used to be like that, when I was 12. But at an older age, I started to realize that we are not in the same boat. We might be travel in the same direction, but different boat. Our ride could be an exclusive cruise or a plain sampan depending on who provided the ride. And even if we move with the same type of ride, who are the one controlling the wave? By the end of the day, whoever reach the destination will forget who did provide the sampan, and who did arrange for the wave.
Never stop to look back and remember your journey. It is the best mirror beyond your present, to be thankful and appreciate every detail of this life. You may say "It could've been better if i did it this way." ... but don't forget to say "It could've been worsen if it happened other way".

... happy birthday to me.
