  • Yet another birthday.


    Happy Birthday to my sister, Mad Sheep. You thought I forgot about it, didn't you?


    This is the Western birthday. Let me tell you non-Asian people something about birthdays. Birthdays are really cool for my generation of Asians because we usually get two birthdays every year: one lunar birthday, one Western birthday. We benefit from this particularly because our grand-parents tend to follow the lunar tradition and our parents tend to follow the Western tradition. So the result is that we get presents at least twice a year. Although the end result is the same amount of presents because one can only have so many grand-parents and parents anyway, we get to celebrate twice.
