was my birthday! to be honest, i was quite dreading it because i thought it'd been ruined by the fact that i suddenly had 2 extra classes after school, but i had forgotten that i was surrounded by WONDERFUL people, who didn't give me a chance to feel that way at all. and so i have to thank some people! (this sounds so much like an oscar's speech it's scary.) okay you know what, scratch that. i don't want to thank some people, i want to announce how grateful i am to have these people in my life =)

1. my family

i mean, whose mom is cute enough to send me a happy birthday sms exactly when the time on my handphone switched from 11.59pm to 12.00am other than mine? =) and a sister who is adorable enough to send me a long sweet letter that moved me to tears other than mine? i'm grateful to Allah that i've been blessed with such a wonderful family. a family i can laugh with openly, a family i can cry with openly, a family i can share secrets with comfortably, a family who accepts me not with all my flaws but BECAUSE of all my flaws, and a family i love unconditionally and very very much. thank you for making my every birthday a birthday worth remembering.

2. A.M.I.N.A.H.

what would i do without you guys! i would've been completely lost in JC at the start if it was not for you guys. it's funny how we knew each other from sec 1, but only really got to know each other at the end of sec 4! thank you for the yan-yan cake x) and the beautiful present! i don't say it often enough, but i love you guys, A LOT A LOT A LOT.

3. Stacey

5 years and running i've known this beautiful girl, both inside and out. thank you for the equally beautiful present dear! in your card you thanked me for being there for you, but really it's me who should thank you for sharing your world with me and letting me share mine with you. thank you for being there for me whenever i needed a shoulder to cry on, or whenever i needed someone to share my happiness with. i love you <3

Sarah, Yen, Hannah, Huiwen & Munir, thank you for the lovely presents =) especially to Sarah and Yen who "walked until their feet rotted" (i quote Yen!) to find me those presents. Jeryl, thank you for getting the cake =) and to the rest of the class, thank you for all the birthday wishes and for singing the birthday song for me twice, YELLING my name a few hundred times the second time so that practically the entire canteen found out it was my birthday x) thank you for making JC life bearable and for letting me have a reason to get out off bed in the morning of school days =)

5. Chewmin

thank you for the gorgeous present dear =) after talking to you yesterday and the day before, i realise how much i miss you. we must catch up soon!

6. masjid girls

thank you for all the wishes =) especially Zahra and Maryam, thank you for staying up till 12 just to wish me =) i've known most of you practically my whole life, and i'm really grateful that i have you guys in my life. i wouldn't trade it for the world. and no matter which part of the world we end up in later (like India for Tasneem x)) i hope we can keep in touch forever and ever. i love you guys =)

7. Os

thank you for staying up and talking to me for so long in the middle of the night =) i've always known of your existence for the past 5 years, but we only really got to know each other last year and i'm really grateful that we did. you've been a great friend, and i hope i've been for you too.
Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge
Todenge dum magar tera saath na chhodenge.

8. everyone else who wished me!

whether it was through sms, phonecall, facebook or email, i'm very happy that you guys remembered and bothered to wish me =) thank you!

half of my friends forget my birthday in the excitement of valentines day, and wish me a few days later when they remember. i remember being very disappointed last year on my birthday, when i expected too much from people. this year i took mummy's advice and didn't expect too much. and that's exactly what made such a great difference =) i was pleasantly surprised when i got presents from people i least expected to give, and when people i hardly speak to found it important enough to remember my birthday and wish me. that's why i unabashedly told Stace and Sarah: i love birthdays! especially mine!

i wish everyday were my birthday.
