I learned something interesting this morning: it's Prophet Muhammad's birthday and mine too; what a nice coincidence, but I knew that people use the Isalm calendar to determine the date of Muhammad's birthday, while mine uses the modern Gregorian date.

Basically, what I am trying to say is that we have different calendars in different cultures, and then you would end up having different birthdays. so which one is the right one, or what if none is correct? E.g. my mum wished me happy birthday the other day, but friends think it's today, but at the end of the day, it's just another day in my life - did I age one year during this day? Absolutely Not.

I remember reading from a book that our real age is not determined by outside factors, not even time; Time is only a measurement, not the ageing factor. So part of me felt like birthdays are only calculating the physical time, making it easier for others to "know" you, but that's superficial.

Here are my not-so-crazy morning thoughts, thanks for reading.
