Happy 25th Birthday to Me!
小嵻终于25岁啦！不小了~
不知不觉，一年就这样过去了。还记得去年的生日小嵻是和小嵻最爱的社服人一起在金马伦高原庆祝的，那是小嵻最难忘也是最有感觉的其中一个生日了。另一个比较难忘的是在大学生涯时小嵻的朋友让小嵻穿着女生裙子在校园里到处乱跑的那次，那个生日真的是超棒的！
如今，小嵻只剩下一个人了，所以25岁的今天小嵻是孤单一个人度过的。和平常一样，小嵻给自己做了一份早餐，然后就是坐在电脑前上网了。中午小嵻懒得煮，所以就只吃了一杯泡面充饥。过后小嵻去修理民宿的单车（小嵻发现有一辆单车的刹车故障了），然后再去为民宿的房间地板油上一层木漆。晚餐呢，老板打包了一包鲜鱼给小嵻。原本吃完后就打算不再吃晚餐了，不过生日嘛，怎样也要意思意思庆祝下的。所以小嵻拿了一辆单车，骑了二十分钟，来到了附近的一家茶室吃煮炒。话说，这可是小嵻第一次一个人吃煮炒呢！虽然这不是什么丰盛的晚餐，也没有华丽的布置，但是简简单单就是幸福了。
吃完晚餐回来，冲个凉然后又继续上网了。突然间，电话响了。是小嵻妈妈打来的。刚说完哈咯，妈妈就来了一句『生日快乐』！短短的四个字，却让小嵻有所感触。小嵻与家人的关系向来都不是很好，家人们也是比较含蓄的，所以在小嵻记忆中并没有从妈妈口中听过生日快乐这四个字。小嵻离家已经快六年了，间中只回过四次，但没有一次是回去吃团圆饭的。或许这个新年，真的该好好与家人团聚了。
小嵻真的觉得小嵻变了。变得更加乐观，更加心宽，更加积极。小嵻觉得让小嵻改变的主要原因是周边环境。环境能影响一个人的心态，好的环境能带给人积极的心态，不好的环境则让人感到消极。小嵻曾经听过这样的一句话：“强者不会被环境改变心态，而是用心态来改变环境“。小嵻自认不是强者，也做不到用心态来改变环境，所以小嵻选择更换环境，往更适合小嵻的方向出发。
至于生日礼物呢，小嵻今年倒是收到了最棒最特别的礼物 - 高空跳伞！这是大家给予小嵻最好的礼物了，真的真的很感谢大家！就这样，简简单单的一天过完了。让小嵻开心的是收到了还在泰国旅行的朋友们的祝福，也很感谢发短讯祝福小嵻的朋友，最后也不忘了面书上的祝福。虽然这个生日过小嵻孤单一人，也过得很普通，但这就是小嵻的幸福！
对了，看见页面上的倒数计时吗？倒数完毕的那一天其实是小嵻2017年的生日哦，也就是小嵻为梦出发的那天。所以，现在小嵻正式为梦想倒数两年！愿小嵻梦想成真！

I am 25 years old now. It's time to grow!
In a blink of an eye, a year has passed. I still remembered I celebrated my last birthday with my beloved She Fu people at Cameron Highland. That was one of my most unforgettable and meaningful birthday celebration ever. Another one that I still remembered clearly in my mind was my birthday celebration during my university life where I got dressed up like a girl and walked around the campus. It might be hilarious, but that was really an awesome thing to remember.
Today, I was all alone. As usual, I made myself a breakfast and then went to sit in front of the computer and online. Soon, it was noon and I was a bit lazy to cook, so I simply prepared an instant noodle cup for my lunch. Afterwards, I went to repair the bicycle in the homestay (found that one of the brakes was broken) and then went to paint the bedroom floor to make it looks new. As for dinner, my boss has bought me a Pasembur. At first I thought to settle my dinner with just the Pasembur, but it's my birthday today, so I went to have another dinner outside. I took a bicycle, ride for about 20 minutes and reached a nearby coffee shop. Alone, I ordered a dish of vegetable and a glass of herbal tea. Though the dinner might be simple and not a grand one, but it was just nice enough for me. Simplicity sometimes is the best.
After the dinner, I went back to the homestay, took a bath and continue to online. Out of the blue, my phone rang. It was my mum! Soon after I answered the call, "Happy Birthday" was all I heard. It was pretty rare for my mum to speak those words as my family was a bit of the timid type. Though it was just a short and simple words yet it does touched my heart. It has been almost 6 years since I left my house and I have only went back home 4 times during the time I stayed outside. However, I never went back during the Chinese New Year. Perhaps this time, I should have a good reunion with my family and have a really good look at them.
I realised that I have changed. Change to a more optimistic, more generous and more positive person. The main reason that has changed me would probably be the environment that I am living in. Environment can affect a person's attitude. Good environment tends to bring out the positive attitude and vice-versa. I have heard a saying that goes by this - "A strong person wont be affected by the environment. Instead, one will affect the environment". I admit that I am not a spiritual and mentally strong person, so I can easily affected by my surrounding environment, yet it doesn't mean that I cant choose the environment that I am living in. To become a better man, I chose to leave the bad environment and continue to look for environment that suites me.
As for the birthday present, this year I have received the best present ever - 10K feet skydiving! This is a present gave by my friends and family and I really really love it! Thanks everyone! And so, a simple day has come to an end. What brings me happiness was the wishes that came all the way from Thailand from a bunch of friends who were traveling there. I am thankful for the wishes that came through my phone and via Facebook as well. Though my 25th birthday was all alone and pretty simple, yet I was really happy with it.
Oh ya, have you seen the countdown timer on the top right corner of the page? The day when the timer hits 0 is actually my year 2017's birthday, which is the day I will realise my dream! So, now I want to officially announce that it is two years sharp countdown to my dream come true! Wishing me all the very best!
