Be of good cheer, daughter, your faith has made you well.

for many years as long as i can recall ive not celebrated any birthdays with parents or family.. not even my 21st. every yr e most i would get a angpao from dad.over e yrs ive got used to.
birthdays has never been a big fanfare for a family of 3 members & for parents whom dun really display affections outwardly -tradition chinese family- . over e yrs ive got used to. tats prob e reason i felt extremely difficult to communicate to them over e yrs.. & ive left it e way it is. many a times i wish they could give me a hug instead of askin mie repetitive ques e moment i step into the hse wif my pea brain still overly occupied by work n sometimes ques tat i simply cant answer. i always tot i needed peace. guess i know one day i'll come to realise im wrong.

today i can say i had one of e most "blessed" birthday celebration with my family. :))
it was supposely a get2gether dinner at my aunt's for ah ma & my new-nephew-inlaw (ah ma has been losing memory since she got back from hospital recently) and i jus merely mentioned my bd was near las sunday to them at dinner. so today i blew mie 1st 2008 birthday cake!! today i realised how loved i was in e family & how blessed i am. how wonderful it is to be surrounded by love & ppl whom i call family.

[ ppl who reads mie blog long enuf knows tat im not a family person. i hate being in families gathering & i run away from such. even CNY is my most hated occasions.]

so im tellin u ..e feelings flowin within is unbelievable to myself either.
god's amazing grace is unbelievable. truly.

god bless.
