Differences

July seem to be a month of birthdays celebration. Just celebrate xj and laur's birthday on fri and sun respectively. Let me wish both of them and the rest of them who are turning into quarter of a century this year a Happy Birthday and may all their wishes come true this year.
Some were commenting on the quality of the birthday celebration and how it had "deteriorated" over the years eg, from Fish & Co to Sakura to coffeeshop this year. What more can we expect to see as the years passes by. Maybe singing a birthday song alone while cooking instant noodles will be what we're going to do in future. Not so bad if I had a "pretty" girlfriend when I'm doing this!!
Nevertherless, many things had happened since the last one year when we're celebrating at Sakura at city hall. Jobs changes, relationships was broken/formed, people left.......etc. Somehow, changes is still the only thing that does not change all this while. Much as I do not want to change, I still had to accept and lived with all the transformation going on in my life right now.
Relationship is becoming more distant as the priorities of the different life phases step in. Quanity had been changed by Quality instead. Somehow, it's not how many people we had around us that matters, but rather how close are the relationship that matters the most right now. Who can truly say that I will survive alone, without the company of families, friends or even a relationship?
As the age get older, the worries or should I said the reality of lives seem to get bigger too? Can we face everyday with a truly joyous smile without putting on a false front? Someday perhaps, in the near future, all our dreams will become a reality and we will be able to accept one another as what we truly are and when there is no expectation, there will be no dissappointment too!!
