Now I'm actually quite confused.

Remember I got into trouble a little while back? Anyway, because of that, now I have to write an article for this campaign to raise money for tuition for the kids of cancer patients. I'm not balking about that.

As you know, my birthday is on the 3rd of September -- next Thursday. That guy, Dr. Koo, mentioned that his own son had organised a birthday party for himself and two other friends at a chalet when he was in Sec Three, and the three friends had told all friends to come and eat...with a catch. They were not to bring presents; instead they were to bring the money they would have spent on the present and donate it to that cause. They raised $700.

There is a part of me that says, this kinda thing comes along once in a lifetime. Quick, say you'll organise a party next Saturday after MG U14s, and invite all your friends. Then get them to donate, and forgo the presents this year.

But there's another part of me that says, it's too late already. Some may have already bought the presents (I don't know, not many friends give me presents). Some may not even want to come for some weirdo's party. Some may think it's embarrassing to let them know what they would have spent. Another part says, you can do this next year or something like that, don't forgo the presents, you only get them once a year.

I don't know what to do. I feel rather confused as I cannot make up my mind.

Sigh. I have to worry about, of all things, my birthday.
