THE TIME MAKER

Origins:

Pleasures: artistic ticks
Specifications:
Has a-thing-in-e-head that never stops ticking.
But it never creates the time to indulge in academically pleasing pleasures.
Instead it ticks out a bed of de-colourised fur (or some call it hair).
Cursed by the thing-in-e-head, it constantly produces ever-lasting, never-ending emotional life-timers.
Most of it may be recyclable timings - but only if one has a heart&brain like me. few do.
Some of it would be just bland, tasteless written talk. But only to those who share a heart&brain unlike any of mine.
So this is the timing of the ticking and tocking going on inside and only inside my life-brain.
Feel free to tell the time. But few do.

One cake. Fifteen candles (or maybe 1 big 5 smalls).
i've seen cakes on this earth for (now) 15 years of my life.
and year after year, the cakes get nicer, bigger, brighter, creamier, etc.
but as the number of candles increase, there is a trend.
maybe before you reach the stages of having a big candle, the cakes may get bigger and bigger to please you.
your idea of a day with cake, candles, and your name on the cake is one of happiness, joy, special treatments, etc.
but as you reach your twelve candles, you realise things don't always go like that.
and that is the way it is now, for me at least.
though we conventionally expect a lot from a festival/occasion, as the years go on, things do change.
we are said to have "grown up" and because of that, you get fewer presents (may be just money) and then you dont have huge big birthday parties anymore.
because you have grown up.
its the same for cny, for anything.
at least for me, these festive occasions grow less festive with the years
and i've grown to accept that.
it has to do with how much you expect, and if you don't expect too much, then the more satisfied you would be with what you have.
which is why, i'm not saddened or disappointed though i've done and had nothing this day, my birthday, but a cake.
