I was expecting a very quiet birthday..not expecting many people to remember this day..but i am obviously wrong. The wishes have begun pouring in much ahead of the date and its still coming in....I just wanted to thank all of you for taking the time of and sparing a moment for me..
unfortunately this time theres no cakes or sweets to offer you.
But ur wishes are warmly recieved all the same.
So how am i celebrating it? well im not really celebrating.
.i ve kept it secret and nobody knows here...for me its a day
to sit back and put my life in perspective...i realise i am at a very
critical juncture of my life ..a lot depends upon how this year goes for me. i cant really complain how life has treated me for the past 25 years and i hope this year will be filled with a lot of luck and have a little extra to offer.
It is interesting though that today is also chinese new year. but whats even more interesting is that by chinese classifications i was born in the year of the monkey....no wonder i`m attracted to climbing trees.
All the chinese guys here are busy partying and making merry...and of course sticking to superstitions...like not having a bath today ..cause that would mean washing away good luck!(so i guess dirty guys have a lot of good luck!) there is a significant amount of chinese people in the uk..a huge bulk of them being students. Our international students service is organising a party for them.
if any of you are interested in knowing more about the chinese new year, i found a good link : Click Here
and heres another one if you want to determine what animal you are in
the chinese view of things.

oh yeah, just for the record..it sounds like a heap of monkey shit!
Thats it from me for now..will be more regular by the end of this month.
once again thanks for all your kind wishes
love
Thomas
