Year 1988, November the 7th, 00:27 a.m., a child was born in RenJi Hospital.

This was me.

Actually, this is the first time I spend my birthday in a foreign country, especially without accompanied by my family. Even though, a feeling of warmth is still filled in my mind.

Just a few moments ago, I was back from shopping for the birthday cake essentials with my friends in Willys. Our plan is to create a homemade birthday cake from scratch on date of my birthday, which is tomorrow. All colors of fruits as decoration, Baking powder, Cream, All colors of juice mixed with cream, Flour, Sugar, Vanilla, Eggs, Milk, Cheese, mixed nuts, even Candles( of course more than 21 ), baking vessel, Cream Spread Knife, etc. are all prepared in readiness. As the scheme initiator, Tanyi contributes his own apartment as our strongholds. We consulted our corridor mates, respectively, about recipe of homemade cake. Wubo even brought a piece of paper filled with ingredients, Swedish translation version of ingredients, exhausive steps. All these guarantee the success naissance of my first homemade birthday cake.

My mother has started to bless my birthday through MSN since yesterday, even more, today she told me the exact time when I was born 21 years ago, which was precisely the same as publishing time of this blog. Furthermore, she bought an elaborate cake from Christine Bakery Store, using the online video camera to display the cake. Though it was just a tiny little cake, but I really thanks for her various ways of celebrating my birthday.  Today, dozens of blessings, which write happy birthday, in variant character fonts and colors were continuously jumped onto my screen, through my mother’s MSN message chatting window with me.

I am really happy of all the efforts made by someone who truly care about me. I hope the success of our homemade birthday cake tomorrow, and I wish happiness in my future life just as this moment, after this first special foreign birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
