Turning 33!

Today is my 33rd birthday. I think my birthday is the most undermined occasion at home as I've never told my kids when my birthday is (not even today), and my hubby doesn't even remember. The only well wishers are friends from FB and my own family members.
Just few hours ago, my entire family came over for lunch. I didn't cook but rather we potluck and bought food over and gather in my house for a family lunch. All had a good time eating and chatting. My sis even gave me an ang pow for my birthday! So paiseh, so I am going to keep it for Min instead as his birthday is gonna be here in 2 weeks' time anyway.
I am rather disappointed that almost every year, hubby will forget at least 1 or 2 special occasions. For a few years, he doesn't remember that it was my birthday. Just earlier this year, he forgotten about our wedding annivesary. I am not those who needs extravagant flowers or cakes or chocolates or expensive presents. I just need him to remember these occasions because they have special meaning for us...but recent years, there hadn't been any "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Anniversary" or even gesture of appreciation for what I've done for the family. Maybe I am being attention seeking here, but who doesn't? A hug or a peck on the cheek will be good, if not, just a simple "Happy Birthday" will work for me. At least it doesn't make me feel taken for granted and I know I am still someone important to him....hmmm....wonder if it's my PMS causing me to sulk here on my birthday. Maybe I just need to have someone stepping on my toes and pissing me off and make me scream at that someone.....maybe that'll make me feel better today on my birthday!
