19 years of Blessings & counting...

I just wanna thank all those who wished me Happy Birthday, especially Uncle Moon & the family that took the effort of buying a cake & celebrating for me & my housemates who sang a birthday song for me. I'm now 19 years old (I know I'm OLD)!! 


I've never had this thought before but this time, I just wondered why are birthdays so special to me (and to almost everyone on earth)? Almost everyone will be excited when their birthday comes (except those who hate being a year OLDER). To me, I used to look forward to the gifts, the celebrations & most of all the attention, especially if it's from the ones I care the most. Somehow, my birthday is the only day of the year that I feel...SPECIAL. 


This year, I somehow have a different perspective. Other than being "special" on my birthday, most of all my birthday means that I've experienced yet another year of God's abundant blessings. From the very day I was born until this very moment, I've lived solely on His blessings, His grace & His love; even during all the years that I never knew Him. Of course I still love the gifts, the celebrations & the wishes from my friends & family, but this time around, I want to remember my birthday as a commemoration of another year of living in the BLESSINGS of my Heavenly Father. Everything else falls second place to that. 


So, I just want to thank those of you who remembered my birthday, and for those who didn't, it's okay. It's not like you can remember everyone's birthday, right? I feel special because I know I am loved & most of all, I've been experiencing 19 years of blessings & counting...


P.S: Also, Happy Birthday  to Xin Xin(21st Oct), Leong Eng & Loon Tat(22nd Oct), Eu-Gene & Daniel Phang (23rd Oct)...GOD bless you all =)
The one I waited for didn't come =(. Nah Never mind ;)
