Birthday

Birthday, an important day in our life. 


My childhood  impression on birthdays : Party, friends, fresh cream cakes, presents,candles and games.
I was very happy if I were invited to a friend's birthday party because I get to wear pretty dresses and have fun with friends and I enjoyed making brithday cards and wrapping presents for them.
As a child, I wanted a birthday party .


But as I grew up, I do not want that anymore.
I've observed how some people celebrated their birthday, which I would not prefer.
Some counted how many people posted "Happy Birthday" on their Facebook wall. 
Some claimed themselves an adult but left their mother and aunts cleaning up the mess after their huge "Happy 21st" cake end up on the floor, and they went chasing their friends all over the house, or later went clubbing with friends after the party at home ends.
Some went reminding their friends days before their birthday.
Some built their own happiness on others'pain.
Some made a lot of noise late at night, despite living in a dorm.
Some forced their friends to attend their party.


Once a friend asked me to attend a birthday celebration of another friend, which I was not so close to. I don't want to.  I still send my wishes but I just don't want to witness another "cream fight". (I dislike people wasting food).  They  thought that I was envy as I never had that kind of celebration with a big bunch of friends attending, and promised to organize one for me if I would attend this celebration. Oh dear....=.=


But I have seen some people doing good deeds, spending time with their family happily or changing the world into a better place during their birthday.
Salute! Those people are among the ones whom I respect. I do not mean that everyone should do something great on their birthday, but at least don't create problems on others.


Best wishes to you, Birthday people! Have a great one!
