Listless story

There is something similar between me and orang jaman dulu2. About birth date.  Many from our parents/grandparents generation do not know their actual birthday due to jaman perang, their kampung far from balai polis, fathers were not around during the birth of their children etc etc.  And  it's common if we heard that our parents is only 5 years younger than their own parents.. agak2 punya pasal. And I always heard orang tua2 kat kampung i said that they were born before or after bah besar.. so bah besar is one of the time line orang jaman dulu2 kat tempat i. 

For me, there is something funny about my birth date too. I actually have 2 birthdays in a year.  A real but unrecorded birth date and fake but recorded birthdate.  The first is always 3rd day before new year, where as the latter is always the third day after new year in every calendar year. 

Been born in our kampung house and since there was no proper registration needed during the labour process, father chose another birth date for me to be oficially registered in birth certificate for the reason i was so tiny when i was born and there was only 3 days left for that year.  Father was scared that i will be bullied when i start to go to school.  That was so true in his eyes at that moment without knowing i turned to be monster later on. Friends said  i was very lucky to born twice but it doesnt really matter to me.  But there are times that i wish that i had my real birth date on my birth certicificate, so that i could graduate a year earlier but most of the time i'm ok to be born a year later.  I dont really want to be one of my 1 year senior group in school.. it just not suited me well to be one of them.

Family and friends always remember my registered birtdate.  Husband also choose the registered date, even though i knew he knew it both.  The only person who never failed to wish me on my real birth date is my bestest buddy, Cik Kentang.

Today, again i have my real birthday.. a quiet birthday.  Without anyone notice except Cik Kentang.. I always love it this way.  Thanks God, for another granted year..Alhamdulillah.
