one year older
My birthday went away quitely, except I’ve got a terrible cold, several online greetings and a phone call from Greek army. A good friend is doing his military service there, calling me with his gun in one hand and cell in the other. Amazing…
Mum had been murmuring about “you are thirty now”, and I was too weak to correct that I am still enjoying my last year of twenties, plus my cold has taken too much strength out of me, and I do not have any left to get emotional about this.
In one casual conversation with Red, she commented that we never get one year older on Birthday. But maybe it was that day we are offically reminded of that fact. At least for someone as forgetful as I am, I never really know which year I am in. 2006? 2008?
For a rather long time in my life, I had wished that I can finish everything I need to do before thirty, and then spend the rest of my life doing things I wish to do. As my deadline is approaching, and really fast, I start to realize that it is very unlikely that my life can be spend that way——for after doing things I need to do for so long, I totally forget what are the things that I wish to do.
Or from a rather possitive angle, all the things I need to do start to become the things I wish to do? A much more comforting thought.

I haven’t been here for some time now, and I miss you and your special comments a lot, so I was here again.
I am sorry to here that you got a cold recently,and I hope you will recover as soon as possible.
Thirty-year-old birthday, I wonder what achievements I would have get, and what I would think of my life at that time.
It is said that it is not good to say Happy Birthday or something like that after the very day. Well, I never believe that. Anyway, I wish you have a fruitful and meaning life~
