I choose to see my life as a series of celebrations - of life, with new births, of death, knowing my destiny in heaven, of what my child can do and not what he cannot do yet, of sacrifices and pains and treating each incident as a learning experience.

I'm 47 years old
This year's birthday was spent at church camp. We arrived a day earlier to spend time with the YC and Charis's family. The afternoon on the 5th was spent waiting and standing around, while the kids did an outdoor obstacle course at a mall. They tried trapeez, and other climbing stuff. At my age, it was fun watching the teenagers experience new challenges and getting all smiles on their faces. That was enough to satisfy me.
LC bought me an Iwatch. It was cool, I like the colour and face, plus a good deal cheaper compared to one bought in S. We had A&W curly fries during a short break then dinner at a noodle soup restaurant. The other family went their separate ways.
The next morning, LC initially intended for me to try IFLY, but I denied as my tummy was feeling bloated and crampy cos my period was coming, and it did come the next day. I was feeling mildly moody on my birthday cos of my unwell and fatique but hanging out with friends relieved it. We had a nice and very full dim sum lunch then took a grab to head towards church camp venue at Sunway. Soon after, we went out again for ecarting. The kids had a blast! I stood and waited again.
I have no idea and no expectation of what I would like to do on my birthday, seems less exciting every yr, but i'm not complaining. There isn't very much I want to try or do, not like the younger and more adventurous me. I'm quite happy just shopping and buying things, though material goods dont carry much meaning to a birthday, really.
Just spending time with my family, enjoying a moment of fun together, is all that matters.
