i just came home from a very very filling buffet. please, no more buffets for at least 2 months. it was my mum's friend's 74th birthday. as i watched all the uncle and aunties gather around and sing him the happy birthday song, and everyone applauded while he blew out that one tiny candle on his gigantic cake, i couldn't help but get all teary-eyed. what a lovely man. at 74, he's still such a lovely, humble man. he's the uncle who sent me that email that i posted a few weeks ago on my blog, if you still remember.
i wonder what life looks like when you're 74. and what sort of person i'd be then. will i have my family with me? will i have friends gather around my table and celebrate my birthday with me?
ah..this splendid life and its transient moments.
