I believe every year we will be wiser. Not by age but by the experiences that we had gone through. People always said girls are more mature than guys (no bias) but I said the maturity level is by their family background, context and perception. Me, I hope to be better each year. I would always said my birthday was full of surprise with my loved ones. It was not luxury, not fabulous like, no expensive cakes and pressie but I had the most wonderful surprise without a price given.
In the 20 few years, oh yeah! I am still in my twenties.., I feel like many many people that loved me so much. Mom said, your journey has been planned and it will always in God's hand. This year, never the less the same, surprises, good food and heart warming activities happened.
It's a western culture that we have birthday songs and cake cutting, it was from ancient Greek and I have found many saying about the cake cutting. To me, cutting cake, blowing candles and making wishes is a new beginning of each year. Wow..one year we have so many "beginnings". Psychologically, it will be useful for people who wanted to change and finding some significant date to do so. Well, we are humans. New year, Chinese New year, birthday, etc. one year we have so many but do we really change? A question to ponder.

My surprise from my colleagues. It was really a surprise, trust me if you were me then you will know what happened.
It was simple yet and extraordinary birthday celebration prepared for me. So blessed. I am a happy girl.
