One bitch.. i have to make one bitch about my bday.. out of all the bitches i want to make i decided to focus on just one bitch (a small attempt to be naice.. which has been a struggle these last few weeks)

Claws out, narrowed eyes, raised voice.. here goes..

There are people whom i have know since i was born and there are people whom i have know since i developed my personality and there are people whom i have know since i started working.

In the natural scheme of things, one would assume that people who know me for longer will respond more personally and meaningfully to my birthday. But in my screwed up version of life.. it was my work colleagues who made my birthday special, my friends from varsity who made me smile and my family who made the obligatory wishes.

Isnt it sad that my boss knows me well enough to give me a voucher to Exclusive Books and a handbag (something i wanted to buy since last year but either didn’t have the time or i was too busy procrastinating..) anyways, it was sweet and the effort was meaningful.

On the other hand, Pramod give me a voucher to Woolies! Here are the sub-bitch points on this issue:
1. Woolies clothes dont fit me
2. I dont like the Woolies style
3. Its a fucking impersonal voucher that he bought the afternoon of my bday! Does he not know ANYTHING about me, that all he can get is a voucher??!

On the same vein, but with a twist.. enter Nischy and Anuscha into the picture. Instead of a voucher, they asked me what i would like. This is very sweet of them – i can get something i like, not something like the Woolies voucher (which is the equivalent of giving me pots and pans). Yes, its good to get something i like and no, its terrible that u have to ask me what i like – its just as bad as the pots and pans. Even if u cant think of anything i would like, could u not have made the effort to at least get me something generic? Oh.. and cherry on the top was Nisch asking if she can put the money in my account and i can just get the pressie myself.. because she doesn’t have time. Great cousin eh?

Some highlights was Kuni’s msg, the msgs on orkut, Ajay’s msg and Steve’s phone call.. btw he still wuvs me! :) i hope to God that i will trust the guy i marry half as much as i trust Steve. And it was also great to see the ppl who came to visit that evening.

My first bday with the family wasnt as special as Appy thinks it is. In fact its a bummer. Not that i was expecting that much.. but cos i was let down with the little that i wanted. Its not the pressies are bummed me out.. its the THOUGHT and EFFORT that was lacking from people who are supposed to know me well enough.
