Birthday Birthday Birthday

When I was a kid, I used to count the days to my birthday and remind everyone about it. Only because of one thing, gifts. I love getting gifts. A few years back, around 2002, I would call my mum at least twice a day to remind her that my birthday is getting near to the point that it got annoying. Then on my birthday itself, I did not get anything. My parents were trying to teach me a lesson or something but I was only 8 at that time so after a few days, I got my gift.

Somehow this year, its different. Its just another day to remind myself I'm getting older. I even forgot about it until Hasiff said that my birthday is only a few weeks away. I don't feel excited. Why don't I feel excited?
