Today is a commemoration of being double-two in my age!

Happy birthday!

Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be

Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May Allah bless you
And may all your dreams come true

So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water to caffeine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how I've come to be.

I caught leap years again, for the umpteenth time, yesterday, on the eve of twenty two. It warmth my heart again, despite the numerous times watching it. It just made me understand the movie, notice every move and every flaw of the movie, yet I still fell in love with it, just like the first time I caught it last year. This time round, I cried the hardest watching this movie, it has really restored back my faith in love, and in romance. It really pierced and pinched me, my heart, my feelings.. all my senses that I could give in loving, and never ceased to make me recall, go down and pine for the lanes that I used to walk and run on throughout my memories all these years while I was growing up. In other words, it is like a reminscing movie for me, making me cry and taking little scenerios, that enabled me to relate into my own scenes of life. But, at the end of the movie, I kept overlooking that it was also all a celebration of her birthday. The moment the movie ended, and feeling breath-takingly awed with how it will help me grow up this year, playing a rather big role on how it could influence my decisions this year.. The second final song in that movie, was a birthday song, from CM, and it all just wraps up.. this is my birthday present. The two hours, all by myself, my personal moment, retrospecting and reflecting on my years, at the same time.. concocting my future partakes.

I am finally grown up. This twenty second, is my post twenty first.

As much as I will not lose the wonder of the child within my eyes, I'm counting my way in growing up a little more.

Here's to all the years I have shared with many, this is just a celebration of how I'm going to be.

InsyaAllah, may all my dreams come true.

Thank you, mak and abah, family.. bestfriends, Leap Years and everyone's imprints on my life. I love you, I would not have been here, without all of you and the support you give me.

Happy New Year,

Happy Birthday.

Until then,

Au Viderzeen.
