I was rushing through worksheets and msn that night,

when someone suddenly popped out asking,

"Have you forgotten?"

"Hmm... What?"

"Never mind..."

"Say leh..."

"My birthday was one week ago...."

"Oh...."

"Happy Birthday......"

"It's okay...."

Suddenly, it dawned on me that i've never forgotten his birthdays before.

This was the first time in the 3 years since we've known each other.

It wasn't deliberate, i just clean erased it from my head.

Although a little surprised and a little pai seh to be confronted like this,

there wasn't any tiny trace of emotions left.

What Mae said was right. I should have understood the motives sooner.
