my 21st birthday

Hm, i guess this is the first time i'll be showing all of you my family members. This post is something more personal to me. Well today i had an be-earliered 21st celebration by my family. Why some of you may ask, but i don't really know either. It's just that it has always been a custom in my family to celebrate birthdays earlier. So in the morning my grandma cooked noodles for me and my mom boiled the red eggs which is also a custom for my family to eat that on your birthday. Then when my dad came home around 1 in the afternoon, all of them sang birthday song for me. Well to be honest, i don't really like to celebrate my own birthday as it seems like any other normal day to me and i don't to be the center of attention where every one's attention will be focused on you and you alone. And so i thought this year's celebration will be like just any other normal day and boy was i wrong! My grandma came up to me and gave me a gold necklace and gold pendant. As she put on the necklace for me, she started to cry and i was shocked! But i'm the kind of person who cries easily and so i cried with her and she said to me "Ge, you're a big girl now. So you must not let others worried about you and you must think wisely from now on in every decision you make in life" and her words hit me right on the head and my heart. I guess it doesn't really hit me that i am seriously an adult now, perhaps all these while i've been taking my life way too easily. I know why she cried as i'm the youngest in my family and perhaps to her, to be able to see me reach 21 years of age is like a blessing for her as not many people get to live that long and i really am beginning to see that my grandma, my parents and my aunt are really getting older day by day. Gosh, it's really time for me to do something for them in return for all their hard work and love poured on me and my elder brother. I bet this is my best birthday celebration ever and perhaps even my most memorable one for today is the day that i realized just how much we love each other and how important they are to me in my life. Today is the day that seriously changed my perspective and point of view about my own birthday. Birthdays are actually some sort of blessing in disguised as most of us tend to take it lightly but now i realized that birthdays are actually the most significant days of one's life.
