26 YEARS AGO TODAY...

... an ABSOLUTELY adorable baby boy was born, bringing bundles of joy to an already big family of 5 children. he completed his parents' wish of having 3 pairs of children - 3 girls and 3 boys. just like the brady bunch (ok i'm making this up... heheheh). the doctor, when delivering the baby, told the baby's mum this - "he's going to be a smart boy. he'll get 6 aggregate for his SRP" (THIS is true - honest! ask my mum if you don't believe me). and 15 years after that, true enough, the boy did get 8A's for his PMR.. (ok so the doctor was not psychic enough to predict the change in the m'sian education system..but still.. quite impressive eh?)

ok - so i turn 26 today. i am neither extremely happy nor extremely sad. not EXTREMELY happy because i am not expecting much of a celebration with my new friends here. and i keep thinking about what i'd be doing on this day with my friends if i was back in kl. but at the same time, i'm NOT very sad because there'll be some sort of celebration later today.. so it should be quite fun.

surprisingly, i'm not cringing of the fact that i'm now 26 (at least not yet!). i think, based on how i see myself as a person - 26 is actually an appropriate age for me now. just nice. maybe it's because i'm not comparing myself with other 26 year olds i know. i guess at least there's one thing about being away from your country, you are not surrounded by ex-classmates / ex-unimates who are 26 AND already married with a kid or two to make me feel inadequate or unaccomplished (especially in THAT particular area).

anyway, i am not the only one who is celebrating my 26th birthday today. fyi, there are some other cute guys who were born exactly 26 years ago today (apart from me, that is :P). ben savage (from the sitcom boy meets world) shares the same birth date as me. aid*d marc*llo (that 'still standing?' guy from the brylcr*em commercial) was also born on the same day.

check out my twin brothers:

twin brother #1 a.k.a abang long










twin brother #2 a.k.a abang ngah










looks like 13 september 1980 was a definitely a good day to give birth to a baby boy, eh? those who were born on that day all turn out to be absolute hotties! (hehehe...kasik can la... it IS my birthday today ok? ). anyway, happy birthday to abang long and abang ngah. but most of all, happy birthday to my most favourite person in the world - ME! :p
