Two Decades

Fuck, it’s been that damn long that I’ve lived. Everything still seemed like it happened just a few days ago. Taking my 1st steps, learning my 1st words, going to school, watching porn, grinding at the Monash Welcome Back party… Wait, that WAS a few days ago.

Well, whatever it is, all my birthdays have been relatively quiet. Not lonely ass “Happy Birthday to Me” la, but y’know, just a family affair. Always has been and I expected it to stay that way. Last year oso, I went clubbing for the 1st time. It was grand, but since it was Maison, it was so damn packed that making a sardine joke now wouldn’t suffice.

This year was something else. I didn’t expect anyone to do anything. It’s been stuck like this for ages.

I was playing CABAL Online when Nizmi came to shake my hand and wished me many happy returns. He came back with Azim a few moments later and Rashmi’s guitar and started strumming madly, on one foot and singing Happy Birthday. Truly a sight to behold as I always saw Nizmi as a very serious business-like person. Damn.

The kicker of the night was yet to come. All these people had left for somewhere as usual and I was home alone la. I was so busy playing that time was passing faster than I thought. For reasons unknown (or by coincidence) they left the door open and suddenly three very gorgeous women, in the form of Nabilah, Nix and Piumi came and started singing Happy Birthday to me. I just had to laugh and clap. That was something outta a teen drama series, man.

After they were done, they asked me to come and chill or something like that. Since my place was like some seedy cyber café where laptops lay and empty cigarette boxes strewn over the floor, I decided to just go to their place. I thought we were just going to sit down and chill a bit.

Fuck, I was so wrong. Spidey-sense definitely took a convenient break tonight.

As soon as they opened the door, I saw the hall lights dimmed and there were multiple candles glowing in the distance on the glass table. I glimpsed a few dark silhouettes on the sofa set and a few shadows slinking near the kitchen area. As soon as I stepped into the area, the lights came on and whatever that happened next was a complete blur. All I could remember was feeling extremely ecstatic, clapping, laughing and surrounded by friends. I turned around and saw that instead of the traditional cake, there were 20 J Cos donuts of every flavour possible, each with a candle.

Someone definitely has a picture on their phone somewhere; I would post it soon, no worries. I hope I can remember everyone that was there, well, the whole of 706 (Rushdi, Rahul, Taqi, Altaf and Yaseen) was there and of course 701, as it WAS their place after all. Yash, Nix’s boyfriend was there as well. Raashid was there as well. I know that Azim and Nizmi were there as well. Sorry if I forgot anyone as there were a few people that just bailed after I blew the candles.

I didn’t expect this huge ass birthday card either! Check this shit out!



That's one huge ass card!



I recognize those characters from somewhere



Loads of messages in there



A lesson in Urdu by Altaf




An understanding wish from Yash



A death threat and a sincere wish, all in one by Nix =P



From the brutha from another mutha himself, Shakir



Insisting that her mistake was an honest one, Nabilah =P



Rushdi with the sincere wish of my quick death =D



From Taqi, my Urdu tutor. Chard bun ka pasina to you too, mate! =D



From thy bearded one himself, Yaseen



And of course, from my nangi, Piumi!



Another "well-wisher" in the form of Chandu Man a.k.a Rahul



Raashid, making a famous Sri Lankan quote that would crack me up if said properly!



Of course, the huge ass card itself, wishing me

Fuck~ Amazing! CHOOOIIYY~! Thank you guys! Shit…

I don’t think there’s anything more that I can say. So far a great day! Peace out y’all!
