vingt-quatre

salam.

how's your week? is it good? is it fine? or hectic like always? mine? pretty mundane, nothing more or less since my ladang anggur has become much bigger than how it looks like 180 days ago. i have nothing interesting to share here but nahh, who cares best ke tak best ke, lantak. heh.

so...... last week was my vingt-quatre (pronounce as vahn-katr) //24th birthday. i am no-celebration type of person, but i welcome any effort to those who remember to wish me that day . as usual, my parents la yang first wish (thank you buya!) and they macam biasa la tanya nak hadiah apa, yada yada. those who are following my blog since 2008 (i mean yg setia lagi stalk blog ni) mesti tawu yang aku ni selalu tanak hadiah, just lek je. ada satu taun tu i just ask for sleep (lol) since zaman tu jenis tak cukup tido and dorang layan je la kehendak anak dia ni so dorang tak kejut langsung and bekpi la hang nak hibernate lama mana kinda thing. ada beberapa tahun pulak, jenis celeb bday sekali dgn my bro. ktorg pi makan besar je dekat kedai western area rumah, so disebabkan my bro punya bday a week after mine, kenalah tunggu bday dia dulu barulah dapat makan besar.

kalau memori best dgn member2 pulak aku tak ingat mana la kan but for me, paling takleh lupa 2006, 2009, 2014. time 2006 tu kira zaman baru kenal high school life macam mana, then first time la got this kind of birthday card yg satu kelas gave their signature and wishes, just like that. simple tapi sweet. then in 2009, dapat real wishes and presents from your bffs - Nerdix, Ceria, you name it. lol. i still remember that day i received a box of cupcakes from Tapirapyanyan, then i had to carry the box back home (my school to home journey tersangatlah jauh, tiring and full of adventure) then da nak sampai rumah tetiba hujan lebat, kemain aku berlari sambil tatang box tu dalam hujan (oh memories :')) Then in 2014, time dekat U, zaman yang berapa kerat je tahu bday kau bila (tu pun sebab aku lupa nak hide birthday notification dekat fb), ada jugak yang bagi wish, hadiah. uish. terharu beb.

&& 2011. got an advanced, yet surprise birthday cake from my beloved roomates. setakat baling bedak wangi takdehal lah. dapat time start study week rasanya (tak ingat). then on midnight masa birthday tu dapat calls from ammar (along with his friends reramai memekak nyanyi thru fon, lol), then dapat birthday call dari 2 budak prac Mia yg baru aku kenal- Man dgn Azrul (serious terkejut and thankful for their wishes) and so many, many, many wish dari friends zaman myspace, ym, fb, schoolmates, tuitionmates. (gosh, memories!) :')

well...

how about the bad ones? i would say last year. my birthday fall on weekdays, it was during my internship period. i had to wake up early and go to kilang at 7, then ada la bengang sikit dengan my family awal2 pagi. then dekat kilang pulak nobody knew about my birthday and well, many things happen. dah la xde org notice, pastu kena tinggal waktu lunch, then kena finish up some works, redo banyak benda, non-stop keja sampai pukul 5. dayumm. then xda sorg bff pun wish. lol. hampa gila. but nahh. i dont care lah. i just ended up my hope, then tido awal that day. huargh. bosan gila cerita aku ni . haha.


so how about this year?
-i would say it was mundane tapi i feel blessed. maybe because i dah lower my expectation to receive that kind of birthday wish kot. tapi as usual, my parents dengan my bro la wish dulu. mcm biasa, my parents tanya nak hadiah apa, then my mum tetiba kata "syara nak handbag ke?" LOL. it was the first ever soalan yang datang dari dia. my hati kering memang "omgggg, siapa taknak handbagggg!" kahkah. but sebab i takmo la susahkan my mum, yerlah, dah banyak kot dia spend utk jaga makan minum bil shelter semua lah sepanjang aku hidup ni. so i just say no, i dont want anything . then dia tanya lagi "kalau nak handbag, ibu bagi duitlah, beli sendiri. ibu tatau syara nak yang mana" pergh. godaan duniakah ini? HAHA. syaitan dah mula membiak dalam hati. then i just hati kering lagi "taknak ah, takpa ah ibu". then utk kali ketiganya my mum try nak pancing lagi "ke nak duit? ibu bagi" dayummmmmmm. iman memang tahap bergoncang skala 6.7 magnitude. LOL. last2 aku cakap je "taknah ah. beli makanan makan kat rumah je". yup. macam tu je aku sia-siakan wild card birthday aku. they both makan western, aku pulak mintak NASI LEMAK AYAM REMPAH. hahahahahaha. K. lain macam kesedapan nasi lemak birthday wei, sumpah tak tipu ! :P then as usual, my bro tak bagi pape sbb dia memang salu sengkek (ngeng!).

-apart from that, surprisingly, none of my Uni friends yg wish even yg bff kecuali cintahati saya: Kaksya. yang lain hilang dalam workload keje yang melambak rasanya. tapi still, i received some wishes from my highschool buddies (yang berkurun tak jumpa f2f, thanks guys!). oh man. terharu gila. time ni la baru nak rasa bersalah sebab tak igt nk wish bday dorg (sorry guys), then ada juga received bday wish yang salah tahun, (i'm 24 ths year, not 25!) duhh.

-tapi yang paling nak highlight: taun ni i just spent my birthday dekat post office dengan malls. YEZZA. pepagi lagi aku dah terpacak dekat pos office tu, dengan berpeluhnya aku menapak dari rumah sampai lah pos office tu dalam 15 mins brisk walking distance. dahlah takde teksi, bas pun xlalu. hampeh. nasib baik la waiting time tak lama mana dlm 10 org baru nombor giliran aku. kenapa post office? renew lesen ler (duhh). ironi gila pi renew lesen tapi xberani lagi nak drive (pffft). yang bestnya time nak renew lesen tu abang posmen usha ic. then dia cakap " harini awak nak renew ic berapa tahun? eh. kejap. harini berapa haribulan? eh. birthday awak. happy birthday!" awwww. thanks. tersengih2 aku depan kaunter tu lol.

then lepas tu almost sejam gak tunggu bas (bapak saving gila tanak naik teksi) before pergi lrt pulak. then as usual, pi port biasa, pusing mall. then watch movie. time tu 2nd airing time for the huntsman. what do u expect la crowd pukul 12pm, konpem tak ramai. i conquered one line then for god sake, ni antara muvi yg berjaya buat aku tersengguk2 mengantuk dia ya rabbi. keluar2 je aku pi la pusing mall lg before end up pi melepek free reading dekat bookstore, killing time. then pi bodyshop, spend some bucks with 25% discount , then pi chatime redeem free birthday drinks (fully-utilizing all those birthday discounts&promotions!) (and dengan tak malunya pi keluar masuk kedai tanya ada pape discount tak on birthday, then tak malu cakap eh today is my birthday, so what do i get-kinda thing) LOL. then bila da penat pusing, i just nak baliklah before rush hour, then  got my takeaway sushi (damn sedap gila aburi salmon), blalala.


so yup.
i feel blessed and there's no word that can describe my feeling on my birthday. thank you for all the wishes, i hope you guys lead a fantastic life in return, insyaAllah, amin.

toodles!
