Happy Birthday Abang Eddie!


Where does the 29th of Feb fall then when it is not a leap year? Aging every four years sounds rather ideal, though detrimental to the botox and cosmetic surgery industry.. But acknowledging and celebrating the birth and existence of one only once every four years is a crime!

Happy Birthday Abang Eddie! The fact that your birthday only comes up once every four years only makes you extra special!and even if it isnt a leap year, I still remember..

It is somewhat difficult to describe the man(and woman) above.. Not quite my uncle and aunty.. coz it doesnt really go with the term abang and kakak! Nor are they my brother and sister either.. They are a couple(albeit in their own individual right) who were significant in my childhood and whom I think of fondly now.

They were the only ones who could pacify me in my tantrum days. Even my parents couldnt. That suggests they were quite powerful and to be feared! And from them, I learnt and experienced a lot. Kakak Agnes contributed to turning me into a literate. I clearly remember acing 'bicycle' in one of em spelling tests. Abang Eddie read us bed time stories.. From silly ones such as the Mazda 323 that could fly from tree to tree to bone chilling ones whereby the ones who sleeps in the middle is the ghost's favourite!

I am more well behaved than my tantrum days(or so I'd like to think), can spell words bigger than 'bicycle' and am not easily fooled. Yet, those moments are precious to me and will forever be etched in heart.

Happy Birthday Abang Eddie and I wish you a wonderful year(or is it 3 years??) ahead!

p/s: doesnt Kakak Agnes look gorgeous??
