My birthday was two days ago.
Unlike last year, where turning 30 made me reflect upon the past decade that I had, this so-called "twenties" that I doesn't belong to myself anymore.
This birthday started out more or less like a few birthdays I had before, I was working by attending a production meeting for an upcoming documentary shoot.
The fun started after the meeting, when Hanae decided to prepare a present for Uncle Edmund!
Of course, we had such a conversation before that:
Me: It's Uncle Edmund's birthday!
Hanae: Whaaaat? Are you joking?
Me: No, I'm not! It's my birthday!
Hanae: But there are no balloons! And cakes! And presents
Me: Uncle Edmund is a big boy, he doesn't need a party! Are you going to give Uncle Edmund a present?
Hanae: Okay.
And so she made me those presents.
