The people who remember my birthday have their birthdays the day before or after mine. My folks remember my birthday, and usually get a cake, but what I really wish is to get a big fat ang pow.
There is no free lunch in this world. Ang pows comes with a birthday celebration. No birthday celebration=no ang powJust like if you want ang pows for your wedding, you need to hold a banquest dinner for all your guest. No banquest dinner=no ang pow

normally we only celebrates birthdays for those that are still consider kids.....

then its normally consider a normal day for most person.
i still work on my birthday and seldom celebratz it anymore since i reach age 21
now im 33 and it been 12 years since i really celebratz a birthday.

my parents don't give me anything even before i was 21.
i'm not even affected by it.
u should be thinking about work / studies more than silly things like these

my bdays celebrations are drinking w my frens on the night before having lunch w my parents on the actual day n trying to hide a huge hangover go shopping and buy something i want (not need) spend the rest of the day lazing in bed

my parents don't give me anything since my ns days.
but every year got friends buy me dinner and drinks. actually what we do is we celebrate a few birthdays at once (for those whose birthdays fall within the same couple of months). more economical

Make friends.

The last time i actually had a proper bday celebation was my 21st..nothing grand..just a dinner outing with my parents and a few relatives at a restaurant in boat quay..few days later i entered BMT.. It's been 6 years since then..and most of my bdays have passed without much fanfare..apart from yearly wishes from my parents and some friends..on some birthdays just go out hangout with friends.. So i mean its no big deal..especially once u get older..its usually the girls who make a big hoo-haa about it..want chalet la..wanna go beach celebrate la..wanna go club celebrate la..

After that every year my birthday will be like any ordinary day. In fact, no one except my parents know that it is my birthday.
My friends who celebrated my birthday with me 5 years ago were my poly friends who have lost contact already. In fact, they changed their hp number and did not even bother to tell me until I call their hp number than realise that it is no longer in use. When I email them asking for their hp number, they did not even reply.
And I never even do anything to offend them. Just that after poly I went ns while they are girls so they started working. During the 2 years we seldom contact because each of us have our own life and than they just changed their hp number without telling me.
What kind of friends is this?
My parents although they know its my birthday but they also never celebrate. They just give me $200 for birthday present all the way until I completed ns and start working than every year they don't even give me anything at all.
Is this pathetic?
Anyone here as pathetic as me, having to spend your birthday by yourself and nobody even knows that it is your birthday and that day just went by like any other day?
Of course it is not pathetic. You are now considered a grown-up, and you don't see your grandparents celebrating your parents' birthday, do you?
Join the guys at Club 30, they won't mind you joining them for their outings, and you could try making friends with them.If you got the spare time, you could also go for volunteer work, and make lots of new friends there.
As for your friends, perhaps they have also changed their e-mail, and thus didn't receive your emails. I know of at least one forummer here who often changes his active email.
All in all, just start a thread here on your birthday and most of the forummers wil wish you a happy birthday. With no Ang Pao though.

no big on birthdays...just be thankful that you get to live each day..your female friends that lost contact with you..maybe they got married..or they dont want their bf/mates to get wrong ideas...
-
So far i do not remember any of my birthdays being celebrated thru out my life. Except for some greetings from close friends which i received. Anyway if got outing, can PM me. i also like to join in the fun hehe
-
I don't really celebrate my birthdays.
For my last birthday, I had a quiet dinner with my gf.
And I belanja my family to Canadian Pizza delivery. End of story.
-
I never celebrated my birthdays for the first 7 years of my life. After that, I celebrate my birthday.

I definitely find you pathetic.
You blame your classmates for losing contact with them when you are the one who did not place in effort in the first place.
You expect people, even your parents to give you something on your birthday when it is supposed to be you who should give them something for bringing you into the world.
It is not pathetic to spend birthdays alone. Some people actually take it as a blessing to be alone for just that day. But it is pathetic when you actually wanted company but still end up alone cos no one want to spend it with you.

are u sure?

same here..infact i find that my mum and godparents tend to overemphasize my bday..i dun like parties XD
but i feel if you want to celebrate ur bday, just let your parents know. its not tough, since they are your parents. as for your poly friends, just forget about them.

I think once you hit 40 and above, you don't want to be reminded how old you are.
Best keep a low profile on that day.
Sleep it off.

when you are 40 and above, the best way to celebrate your birthday is to have sex with your wife on that day
