Just Another Day?

Are there any days that are special to you? Well, for some, yes and some no! This is what I think, after little reflection these few days. After one joins certain 'club', you really don't bother to care much about birthday anymore. I have been asking many people who actually came out with the birthday cake idea? Guess what, this from Wikianswer:

It appears to be related to the Greek goddess Artemis, whose birthday was celebrated with moon-shaped honey cakes topped with candles.
One possible reason is because the ancient Greeks used to take cakes (round to represent the full moon) to the temple of their goddess of the moon, Artemis. The Greeks are said to have placed candles on the cake to make it look as if it was glowing like the moon Another explanation is the birthday cake started in Germany. Geburtstagorten was a type of cake that is said to have been used to celebrate birthdays.

Whatever are the reasons, I'm sure those Bakery people all around the world wouldn't mind to bake more cakes since they have been helping them to prosper much. Whether the world face global economy challenge, that's not the point. The Birthday Cakes still reign!

Alright, enough about the cake. One interesting thing that I received just before today and today itself is that I received literally countless of birthday wishes from all over the world in the Facebook. Man...after a 2nd thought, I think Facebook might be able to overtake the Cake soon! On another thought, do people still write cards? Do you still receive Chinese New Year card? Birthday card? Christmas cards? Probably not huh? However there is one card that is still very much in use; the Sympathy card. You know those cards for people whom the close ones pass away, etc? Maybe people don't really know or how to say things, so the easiest way is, to just get a card. The card does all the job!

This is for the Facebooker:

Reaching planet Mars is nothing. The process of reaching there is not that tough too. I think the most difficult time is the preparation for the past 2 years. It's not that easy to prepare you know. For some, you are preparing yourself. Some, never really prepare till the day come. Like it or not, it will come... to few of my friends...with wide open arms, I welcome you! (Joshua, Hwei, who else arrrr?)

SWEET Cake & me in my new Pinkish Espirit shirt :@)

Thanks to my Yr.7-9 Music students, especially to Ms Jeniffer who bought the blueberry, baked cheese cake. Honestly, it's REALLY nice! Hehehe...if I have to get anyone a cake next time, I'd either get this kind of cake, a big one to share with many, or just a small slice for the birthday person. Anyway, thanks for making my final 2 hours in school, a happy one. Thanks guy!
