My 34th Birthday

I want to sincerely thank everyone for the birthday greetings. I would also want to take this opportunity to thank my mum & dad for taking their chances about 35 years ago. Though the two of them didn't work out well down the road, I'm sure they didn't regret having me 34 years ago. And I hope I'd done them proud many a times.

To be brought up to become an adult and eventually asking another individual to take her chances with me, I want to tell this fine lady, whom took the risk, and celebrated so many birthdays with me....

I LOVE YOU!!!
Thank you for being with me, birthday or not, I appreciate your company & presence.
