RM28

Some people love their date, some people dread their date. Usually the younger and older ones would be those who love it and those in the middle don't really want to see it coming. Me? I feel like its just another day, could be happy or could be sad. I think both happened at the same time.

Not really possible right? Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps its a matter of perception or even mathematically for what im about to explain.

Just like the previous years, this day will be spent with my family. My definition of family is all of my closest kin. However, this year ... it would be 1 person less BUT then again 2 extra person. Mathematically this is a gain, no? True ... but 2 does not make a 1. Then again, further thoughts will show that 1 wants to be 1. Confused? Perhaps only for those who don't know but that is not relevant in this topic.

I was without internet for 4 days and finally when i am able to get online again in the office, i found 28 wishes on my Facebook and at the end of the day i received 13 SMS wishes from 14 senders (LOL, mathematically impossible again :p ). In the 13 SMS-es, 1 is from a job agency and another which i later found out was from an insurance agent who seems determined to get me to sign up with her policy.

4 paragraphs and what the heck does it have to do with the title of the post? That was the amount of money i had in my wallet on my day. When the bill came for the family dinner, the waiter politely declines my Amex as they do not accept cards (DANG!!!), red-faced me (due to the beers as well :p ) had to be bailed out by my sister who took the full payment of more than 3 RM50 notes worth. Way to go, old man...

p/s : I love using auspicious numbers, that is why this is backdated.
