I just finished reading the last story of Haruki Murukami Birthday Stories anthology. There is two of the short stories that are my personal fave. Angel of mercy, Angel of wrath by Ethan Canin. And of course, the other by Murukami himself - The Birthday Girl.
"Your life in this world began exactly 20 years ago today.it comes but once in a lifetime. It's an irreplaceable day"
Excerpt from the story- Birthday Girl
I like this quote. There is many times , especially when we get older, we take our birthday to be just another day of the year. It does not quite stir that personal touch in ourselves as when we were younger.
I am going to remember this quote. So that i can appreciate my own birthday!
And folks, if someone were to grant you just one wish on your birthday. You cant change your mind. And you only have a minute to think. What will that be then? :-)

my wish would be to be myself and live my life all over again, with all my loved ones around me!! ^_^
The cliched reply would be for world peace (As Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality always says!) :-) But for me, it would be to be who I am and not change anything, we should all learn to love and accept ourselves and be proud of who we are.
Hmmm..seems like both babe and dessie have similiar sentiments! As for me, I would want to live life again. Back from zero. To undo all regrets and wrongs. Does that sound greedy?
Babe. Okay..this might sound cynical but dun get angry ok..?
If i were to die before you did ( most likely) , i want you to tell my parents and aunt diana that the biggest regret of my life is that I have never really understand them as parents, and allow them to know me as a son.
I want you to tell them how I am really like. Cause you are the only family that knows me for me.
:-)
why would i get angry? silly.
i'll do that of course, for you.
but right now, i juz want to kok your head!!!! =p
