    I also stopped caring about my birthday when I turned like 33... the last time I did something special on my birthday I went out for Indian food with a good friend of mine... she yelled at me because I didn't tell her it was my birthday until we had already eaten, and I paid for us lol... keeping it secret and doing little things for yourself just feels way more satisfying at a certain point

    Happy belated bday Mikey,right before Christmas is my bday also. I have always been alone too, it has always been ok, my parents were always busy, then as I got older the time of year is busy for everyone. Anyway this ya was my 80th and I was sure there would be some recognition as 80 is a milestone? Anyway not only no, but everyone seemed to be out of town, so I really enjoyed celebrating birthday with you! Thank you so much and pecking duck is one of my favorites too. Hope you have many more.

    @Righteous1ist 7 років тому +32

    The reason you'd rather be alone and celebrate alone is because when you're on your job you're around people so much and it feels like a celebration everyday. So on your birthday you'd rather do the opposite, which is be alone and celebrate by yourself because that feels more different and better than everyday.

    Happy belated birthday, Mike! You’re not the only one who celebrates their birthday like this so it’s not that weird. 😂 I usually quietly take the day off work without telling anyone at the office the reason and then do whatever I want for that day: no fuss, no obligations, just whatever feels right that day. 😀 Don’t get me wrong; I still celebrate with family over a weekend meal but I like to have the day to myself. 😬 Best wishes for the coming year, Mike! Happy New Year!

    I’m with you, I hide out and avoid family, because every birthday I have had ends in drama that I have nothing to do with... mostly my folks fighting and siblings angry if I get a family meal when they all had huge parties. I say I’m booked for work. Course when you’re own mother forgets for three days it’s your birthday and no one else says anything you give up and make your own plans.

      Owen Creed I know how you feel about that,I was like that too when it came my own birthday as well as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's I felt nothing good would have come from me being around them during those times and they would have made me hate my life more and made me regret ever going along with actually spending "quality time together" like we really "one" big happy family all the time when it's not ever true

    I'm the same way. It took a while for family and friends to understand it, but eventually they just started leaving me alone on my birthday. Some people like parties and being social, I just want some time alone and to be able to do whatever I want, whenever I want. So, I get ya.
    Ps: You know when chen is knocking on the table after one bite, you know the stuff must taste divine.

    Many people might not understand why one would pay hundreds of dollars to eat at a Michelin-starred restaurant, but the experience is incredible (I’ve never been disappointed, so far). As you said, they do something to your taste buds. The creativity of flavour combinations and juxtaposition of textures is mind-blowing.

    Hey Mike, many of us are stuck here in the midwest and the closest Asian community with a lot of variety like Flushing in Queens is Chicago. Chicago has a historical Chinatown, but it also has other Asian communities. I know, I know, Chicago vs New York City. It would be great though to see you visit this part of the country and do some exploring and let us know if you find some great places to eat. Thanks.

    Happy Birthday Mikey. I've got my 66th birthday coming up in a week and since I live in Vancouver initiating a Peking Duck tradition looks a great way to celebrate. I have kids and grand-kids but enjoy celebrating it quietly to plan and philosophize. Enjoy your videos but have never understood what you are able to put all the food you eat.
