We celebrated the boys' birthday together again this year. And they fed each other cake again, just like they did last year. :p

I remember how we used to squeeze our brain juices just to whip up some mammoth task of surprising one another in the most amazing ways during our birthdays. From driving the entire herd all the way up to KL to surprise Lee Choon, to cooking up with some lie about winning a one-night's stay in a JB hotel to surprise Teri, to turning everyone into little kids again in McDonald's children's party to surprise William, to collaborating with my mom to hide in various corners of our flat to surprise me when I reach home... and many many more heartwarming, tear-jerking, love-filled acts of surprises.

Now that we're older, we're contented just spending quality time with one another and reminiscing about the good old days. Birthday celebrations in the last couple years are about the simplicity of enjoying the wonderful company of wonderful friends.
