yes! the day which i have waited for for 365 days/8,670 hours/525,600 minutes is finally here! no grammar mistake there. finally, i am 13. well, i have one less year to live, and i have contributed one more year's worth of CO2 to the atmosphere of the Earth! and depleted the Earth of one year's worth of O2. and not to mention all the food i ate. speaking about food, my friend Dhivya was right. she told me perhaps my parents would take me out for dinner. and yes, my parents took me to Taka for dinner. and after dinner, we went to Kinokuniya!:) and for all my friends, you know my obsession with books/printed materials in particular...you could say i have a fetish for words. and i got The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, and The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. and sometime before my mum asked me to make a list of birthday presents i wanted and choose one. then i had an mp3 player, and a loooong list of books. ok, it was only 5 books/authors. maybe it's a long list to you. but never mind, i'm quite happy with the 2 books i got:) so there's nothing else for the moment. no, no poetic scribblings have graced my paper, nor fluid streams of words appeared in my wandering mind...
