Me: Can I go to her birthday celebration?
Parents: Where is it held?
Me: Err...she...say go there then decide.
Parents: If dunno venue then cannot go.
Me: Har...but I really wanna go...her birthday leh....Ok la actually it's at Sentosa.
Parents: So far ah!!Aiya cannot go, so far away.
Me: We won't go swim....So don't worry that we will drown...
Parents: But it's too far. No don't go.
And that's the end of the conversation. Damn I really hate myself for telling them the venue. I'm really really very sorry that I can't go, and I want to tell you that it's not that I don't think your birthday is not important, it's not that I don't want you to go, so don't be sad ok? I know that it's natural to be sad but don't be so emo and think that your birthday is not important because it is, and it is meaningful because that's the day that you're born and let me have such a good friend like you, so please be happy, I want to see a genuine smile on your face on your birthday and everyday of your life.:)

And you soar.
