First of all, I’d like to thank everyone who called, emailed, tweeted, facebooked, skyped, or sent me birthday best wishes via any other means. Ā I got all of them, and it means the world to me. Ā One thing all my birthdays have in common is they remind me of all the wonderful people that I am surrounded by. Ā Thank you all.
Secondly, a few of my younger friends, inquired as to how is being 34 years old different from being 35 years old. Ā As easy as the question seems, the answer is quite complex. Ā To ease up with the explanations, I’ve decided to create the visual aid that you can see below (excuse my poor skills of a graphical designer).

As poor as the image quality is, I think, the illustration does answer the question. Ā Please feel free to let me know if you need any clarifications.
Thirdly, please don’t think bad of me for not inviting you to my birthday party. Ā There was none this year. Ā With EasterĀ coinciding on the same Sunday, I felt it was slightly inappropriate to compete with religious celebrations. Ā Especially given the rainy weather and out-of-country trips for a few must-be-there guests. Ā Excuses, excuses, I know. Ā I was just too lazy to arrange all things in time. Ā Until the next year.
Once again, thank you all for warm words and wishes. I had a good one!
