Before, During, and After



As most of you who reads my blog means that you have my Facebook. This means that you would know that I had my 19th birthday a few days back. Truthfully said, hands down, that it’s the best birthday ever!!!!(For now).

BEFORE

It was nearing my birthday so I didn’t know what to do the weekend before. Some of my friends were planning on going to Sunway on Monday, but I wanted to go on Tuesday (my birthday). Still, since Azizi and Fidod are going, I heavily consider the option.

But then my brother called saying that he’s going to treat the whole family for his first paycheck, with the condition that the family member involved must be home. I already said to my mom earlier that I wasn’t coming home that weekend. Some of the people out there would know of my family problem (it’s not you, it’s me, literally). Somehow, the thought of food kicked in and I said yes.

But then in the evening, someone added me on ym and wanted to get to know me. As the loving and only-sociable-on-technological-platform as I am, we talked, and got to know him a bit. He’s in Shah Alam on a trip and would be returning to Johor Bharu at 4.30. Something about him impressed me. Can’t put my finger on it (actually I could, but that’s a secret) (?). He merely raised the idea of me going back with him, but I instinctively took it seriously (?!) and offered. The bus was supposed to be at 4.30, but then due to my sudden accompaniment, if got changed to 6.00 so that I can fit (in the bus. I can fit fine in the seat).

There I was on a journey for the first time alone (no family) to JB. Along the way, I got to know more about the guy who magically persuaded me without even doing anything. I decided to stay until Tuesday morning even if it means costing one of my classes and a birthday (or so I thought).

The guy goes to work on the day, so I spend my day just watching movies and getting bored. But when he returned, it was fun. He’s the kind of person who could speak to a taxi driver like he’d known the guy his whole life (this actually happened). It wasn’t hard to enjoy my time there.


DURING

Monday night I just felt so tired watching movies all day that I fell asleep right after diner. But when I woke up, the room was dark, and the only source of light was a candle, on a cake, in his hands. The one thing that I wanted on a birthday for 10 years was given to me by a friend I just made barely two days before. It was the most touching thing that anyone ever done to me. He even gave me a present. A teddy bear. His teddy bear. One that he kept from anyone for years (months actually, but it wont sound as good). I went back with a smile all the way.


I was still planning on going to Sunway to skate, even if it means I have to go alone. I always did spend my days alone. Even went to Midvalley and KLCC alone for the sake of pitying myself. It was a logical idea and I would have gone through with it. That is, until Ahmad Hafiz offered to go to diner with me.


The actual plan was to go to diner with friends, but when it was time to go, no one cared. I was just not that important to anyone. Not a beautiful girl who people go to diner with at pizza hut just because its her (I'M NOT COMPLEMENTING YOU!!! METAPHORE!!!). But it seems that the day was important enough to me for him to care.


So that makes me going on a date with Amad. We went to Secret Recipe, and we had a date. Amad is the one of the people I just cant stop analyzing (bad habit). He just has this ability. It’s like he can be immature and charismic at the same time. And by being immature, he became funny, not even slightly annoying. Diner with him was the best present even I didn’t realize until we reached home.


It was a good birthday.


AFTER

As I wasn’t present on my birthday, most of my classmates wished me on the next day. I even got a shirt that a bit fit compared to my usual wardrobe, but what the heck. It’s a present, and I don’t get much presents in my life.


I got a really nice tie from Farahi
I got chocolate from Mya
I got Big Apple from Lynda


There’s more, but I just want to say thank you.
I got 62 wishes on Facebook
And 6 wishes on my phone.
6+2 +6 = 8+6 = ^_^
