It has been now 2 years since I started living in a different country and it is amazing how I kept myself going and had something to cheer about time to time. Most of it had to do with Church as usual in my undergraduate life. The time I spend there with friends and all the activities are always different and gives me hope to chill out my life or to relax a bit. I know for many this kind of experience is not possible and because of that I am grateful to God for giving all these good things in my life to have a happy life.
Today is my B'Day but I do not have a cake today. But it is okay, I will be having a small get-together with my friends here around. For the past few years I was always able to put up a small party for my B'Day whether I had money or not. I think before the B'Day that I will not be going to have a party this year but I always end up having at least a small treat and evening full of talks. One tradition that happened for the past 2 years is that Hasitha never missed the date to pay a visit here and have some fun time. Since I do not have the comfortable background environment I had when I was in Sri Lanka, the only time/place I feel home is when some good old friends get together. It is so nice that we had such a wonderful time spent together when we were in undergrad and bonds we started at that time pay off.
I received so many B'Day wishes today and that in fact made my day even happier for me. It is a great feeling that when I see people make wishes for my B'Day and seeing them bring life long memories sometimes.Seeing those wishes remind me different kinds of friends I had from time to time and it is like a tele-drama when all those people and their connections makes some beautiful drawings of memories.
After all I am 28 now. Getting older. But I still feel I am much younger and want to have many better days ahead of me like all the fantastic memories I have. That is a B'Day wish and may the almighty Lord guide me and bless me for my journey of life.
