Born on the 17th of October
My plan to keep a low profile on my birthday was foiled. Friends at New College organised a surprise birthday party for me, and took every chance to remind me how old I am; at 23 years old, I’m one of the oldest guy living on our floor. It’s also such a coincidence that the T-shirt Samuel sent me from Australia arrived on my birthday. As usual, I received a birthday card from my parents, but this year with lots of Chinese newspaper clippings that I asked them to send over periodically.
Thank you all for making my 23rd birthday such a happy occasion. Growing old never felt this great!
