The Day that doesn't come by that often...

29th February 2008 (Fri)

We tend to forget that not everyone celebrates their birthday annually on their real birth dates. Well, of course there are those unfortunately ones who have their b'days smack right in the middle of exam period...and there are those living in poverty who might not even think of celebrating their special days.

But how bout those who actually can't?....even if they want to

Yes, I'm talking about the 29th February babies!

And my cousin, Ken Jin is one of them.. That's why he's only flying back to Melbourne today..in about an hour time =p Well, of course the fact that Melbourne Uni kick-starts its semester on 3rd March helps... You're one lucky dragon Mr. Tan =p

We didn't grow up together.. I visit him annually (which is something I always look forward to..especially when I'm young) but surprisingly, we're still close... perhaps it's because we're only a year apart..

You know how you tend to mix with cousins usually of the same age during family vacations (of course cousins whom you must click with) whether in Genting, Penang, or shopping malls.. my parents will usually say, "Nah Ah Yau..you, Ah Jin, and Ah Yang (Jin's small bro) go see what you wanna see..we'll call you when we're done.." Then you parents do their thing while you and your cousins do yours..

Thank God we have the same interest too =) badminton, pokemon... guess what his old email address is =p *hint hint*

Oh, believe it or not we use to send letters to each other too...erm..like pen-pal that kind! Haha..even sent some stickers along with our letters sometimes =p

Yes, yes, we compare exam results too especially during primary school..."Eh, you get no what this time ah?" But it's not that important anymore now...at least to me =)

Last year, we hoped to enrol into the same uni last year... but sometimes luck's just not on our side... I've gotta look at the bright side and go, "perhaps it's not such a bad thing"

Ya..he beats me in swimming...and badminton too..
Haha..he's most probably gonna go, "Why, Ah Yau, why...out of all the pictures.."

Readers, sorry to bore you all with all the details..but it's just so fun thinking about those little things you do in the past =D

Finally, here's to my closest cousin! You've been a great company all these while..Let's graduate successfully in 2009! Happy five-year-old!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam Seng!
