Another Way of Birthday Celebration

Some of you might aready know my birthday, and really thank you for all the wishes.
So, how you guys celebrate your birthday usually? As for me, I never had a lavish birthday celebration. Oh...don't pity me.....Is I don't like to celebrate birthday, well apart due to the reason that I'll get 1 year older, especially this year... =.=

The main reason I don't like to celebrate birthday in a lavish manner is the fact that the day we were born, is also the day that our mother need to gone through a great pain and suffering! Especially for first born. How could one celebrate over another person suffer? Plus is our own mother that I'm talking about. I remember last time a monk once describe when a mother give birth, the process is like she is walk through hell gate one round, then come back.

I hope this post did give some wisdom and enlightenment to my friends, if you request a lavish birthday from your mother, think again. How about we celebrate our birthday in different way, we buy gift to our mother instead! And to thank her for deliver us to this world.

p/s. don't you dare ask me how old am I!

Happy Birthday dude and I like your concept of not spending lavishly. I also mellowed from my hey days of 3 day clubbing celebrations to eating vegetarian and doing charity on my birthday. Devil I was!
What is your age? Oops!
