Day +366 : Three birthdays I celebrate

I am fine today.

When I was born on 22 November 1967, my mother ‘forgot’ to register me at Jabatan Pendaftaran Malaysia (National Registration Department). About one and half year later, on the 11th of May, 1969, she suddenly realized that she hadn’t done this important job, so she registered me on that day. When I did my bone marrow transplant on the 5 July 2006, a nurse told me, “Ting, remember today as your birthday.”

With this, I have to celebrate three birthdays every year:

  1. Real birthday on 22 November 1967 - 40 years old birthday
  2. Official birthday on 11 May 1969 – 38 years old birthday
  3. Bone marrow transplant birthday on 5 July 2006 – 1 year old birthday :-)

Happy birthdays to me :-)

See you next post :-)
