Celebrated my brother’s birthday at Kensington yesterday. It was a belated celebration for him though. The ambience was great. They were playing classics and I could recognise some of them. Then, the difficult part came in - the ordering of meals. It’s really hard to pick what we want from such a great variety of them. Normally, I would pick the chef’s recommended dishes but I don’t see any of them marked in the menu. As usual, we took our time as we all did a thorough analysis and debate on available dishes.

Following that was the camwhoring session. Of course, featuring the main person of the day – the birthday boy!

The upcoming birthday boy!

And also… the last birthday boy of the year who can’t wait any longer. haha…

It’s so much of a difference. Well, this brother is one year older now, that’s for sure. Balloons, party hats, birthday suit etc are no longer in his taste. Yeah, what he wants now are Nike / adidas soccer shoes, football and more upper class stuffs. Yup, now I realised how inflation takes place in the family’s economy. Usually at a higher rate or percentage than the national’s inflation rate. As kids grow older, hah! That’s when the rate goes rocketing into space. Well, of course I wouldn’t say that I’m not guilty of it.

This is like a norm in many families. Well, that’s because you and I are living in this ideal world. “Ideal world”, a word I just heard from a TV programme just now. Now, I know sometimes we wonder that our world we live in, and yes, I mean the surroundings and situation we are in, are really ideal. Distress, bitterness, stress, hurtings etc. But when I see the non ideal world out there, where there is civil war, and people who are dying… I don’t think that we are in a bad state any longer.

Blood diamond. I watched that movie but nope, I’m referring to a much more real case scenario which I saw on TV just now. Do we get our hands chopped off just like that when we refuse to be exploited or to work? Sometimes when we say we are used, by people around us, but when compared to the extent of the exploitation that the poor people are facing, I feel that we have to stand up again and stop embarrassing ourselves. Are we forced to live in run down houses, tents with HIV, Malaria and other life threatening diseases roaming among us? The list goes on.

Next time, think twice before calling the world we live in “non ideal”, just because we couldn’t get what we want.
