The long overdue birthday post
Filed under celebrations, personal
My birthday started with a bang, and this is not a tall tale. There was noise in the house so loud I was awakened from my sleep, considering that I don’t even hear two alarm clocks ringing simultaneously on normal days.

One of my housemates, who was about to be married this month, was crying her eyes out while her boyfriend (and his balls) shrunk in front of very angry women. The boyfriend had come to the house so early in the morning after finding out that my housemate was breaking up with him. The guy, who was so used to hitting her he forgot that he wasn’t in his territory, hit her for all the neighbors to see.
When the queen mother of the Order of the Old House on Kamuning Street found out, the guy saw the end to his machismo. I’m sure he would never again come within 100 meters from our street.
After the guy was out the door and all was settled, I went back to my room to continue my beauty sleep. That was when I saw this little thing sitting on my study table.
