1 March 2010

1 March fell on a Monday this year and we happened to have e-learning that day. But not only that, 1 March was also the day Bosnia and Herzegovina declared its independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1992. The city of Rio de Janeiro was also founded on this particular day in 1565. Besides these, Napoleon also returned to France from his banishment on 1 March on 1815. But how are these linked to me?

1 March is a very special day not only because of such historic events, but most importantly because it is my birthday. 1 March 1996 was the day I came into this world, and with each passing year, I would have grown and mature by a bit. Now, after 14 years, I can proudly say that I am no longer a young and immature child but a young teenager with more knowledge of the world and its evils.

But first of all, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my fellow classmates who wished me a happy birthday. Each of your comments really made my day. Also, I would like to thank my parents. I am really grateful to them not only because they raised me up and satisfied my every need, but also because they gave birth to me on 1 March and not on 29 Feb. If that was the case, I would only manage to celebrate my birthday once every 4 years and I do not think anyone would like that. (No offense to the people whose birthday falls on 29 March)

It seems as one grows older, his birthday becomes less interesting. In my case, I was rudely awakened by my maid when she accidentally dropped something on the fall. In the end, I remained grouchy for half an hour before e-learning started. E-learning did not help much as well. There was so much work to be done and due to time constraints, I was not able to complete some of them within the period of time. After e-learning ended, I had to rush to school for training which tired me out by the time I came back home. (Yes, in case you were wondering, I had training and even now, I am surprised I actually bothered to go for it.) At night, my whole family and I went out for a meal at some restaurant before proceeding home straight after that.

However, like what I mentioned just now, just those wishes from my friends and family is enough to satisfy me.

So before I end, I would like to once again thank those whose words made my day. :)
