Happy Birthday.
I haven't seen you in so long.
Whenever I think of you, it's like I'm 5/6/7/8/9 again, running around backstage in Dewan Sri Pinang, dancing a bit better to make sure we get selected, getting ready for our ballet exam, gossiping under my dresser, stressing out about exam results, crouching down and staring at some poor dying worm, sharing everything we knew about the world.
Remember your 8th or 9th birthday at McDonald's Green Lane? Yeah when I got home I kept that balloon you gave me in between my bed and the wall until it shrivelled up completely and there was no air in it anymore.
Now you don't have birthday parties at McDonald's anymore, now you don't care about dying worms anymore, now you've finished ballet, now you can drive, now you have a boy, now you're almost not a teenager anymore.
You're so pretty now, and whenever I see photos of you and your boy, of you and the girls going out to dinner with the guys, at parties, I kinda wish I were there with you.
I miss you heaps.
