The long and short about Birthday Wishes

When I was younger, birthday greetings were very simple, and usually goes something like ‘Happy Birthday’.

Now that I’ve turned older, I realized that birthday greetings have evolved into something more complicated. The following are some of the more, eh, complicated greetings I received last week:


From my Boss (co-written in the office birthday card):
Oei Sian! Do you want me to bring you to a lup sup bar to celebrate? Haha, just kidding. But not really. Happy Birthday!

From Office Bimbo (co-written in the office birthday card):
Happy Birthday! I’m glad you realized that we are not made for each other. You may be lonely, but don’t worry, I am sure you will find one of your kind soon. Or maybe not so soon, haha. Enjoy!

From Ms Tan (co-written in the office birthday card):
Try not to take so many MC this year.

From Nerd (via SMS):
Happy birthday Mr Sian! You are a clever and good boy, so I think you will find a girlfriend soon, haha. . . . But if not, don’t worry because you always have me ok? Please come over to my place again for some PS2 fun after my exams :)!

From Anonymous Blogger Who Doesn’t Want To Be Named But Who Always Leaves Sarcastic Comments In My Blog (via SMS):
Happy birthday to you
You are born in the zoo
With gay birds and hippos
May the rhinos rape u


No prizes for guessing who wrote the last greeting. Heh.

With Love,
Sibeh Sian
