I’m really happy to receive all these HBD messages from all over the world. Thank you, my friends.
I enjoyed my birthday yesterday. Students who know my birthday gave me warm scribbles on the blackboard before or after class, and some even sang the HBD song for me, along with very heart-warming compliments that I look younger for my age, comparing me with their parents, who are mostly my generation.
My family enjoyed my birthday as well. I emailed them that I wanted to eat sukiyaki for dinner, and ended up in doing the necessary shopping and cooking myself. But it was a great dinner. I realized it had been quite a while to have dinner together in my family.
