Turning 31, way past the quarter-life crisis

I turn 31 today, on 18 September, one of the important days in China history.
I am always very touched when people remember my birthday, and wish me happy birthday or give me just a simple gift.
As I grow older, I find that its not the gift or the treat that matters, its really the heart & the thought that counts.
Because I myself find it not easy remembering people's birthday.
And whatever gifts or meals that I wanted, I can buy with my own money.
Thank you L & P for remembering my BD on such a busy school day......
I thank god for having real friends in this school......;)

I feel quite important today, because this is the day that god has made me.
But somehow, I feel confused too, because I don't know what else I want out of life,
and how I'm going to live my life for the next century and more centuries to come.
Its always a mixed feeling on birthdays, as you grow older and older and older.

I had quite an unforgettable birthday celebration with my new family members on Saturday.
How they arrived so early at Aston's so that we can get in & have a cheap & really nice dinner,
how she go about searching for the pink colour bag for me,
how she made the effort to wrap the gift so nicely,
how he/she remember that I love cheese cake and buy one from the famous cheesecake cafe,
how they sing the birthday song, and listen to my birthday wishes.
I really thank god for bringing me to this cell group.
Everything that they do have touch my heart and add a personal touch to everything.
Thank you friends.......
