In this story loosely based on Rene Liu's own short story of the same title in her book "I Want Go With You", this birthday wish is of great importance to student Mimi (Liu).
"Happy Birthday" tells a story of a young university couple, Mimi and Nam (Koo).
"Happy Birthday" tells a story of a young university couple, Mimi and Nam (Koo).
A simple gathering among friends sparked off their relationship.
Mimi, a music major whose wish is to be a pianist with hopes of moving on to Vienna, meets Nam, a student in Hong Kong University.
Nam, who has always been surrounded by girls, is one who is of full confidence of himself, while Mimi, whose mother had left her when she was at a tender age, is the opposite, as she has no confidence in herself.
This difference becomes a reason for the turning point in their relationship when Mimi chooses to stay as 'more than good friends' with Nam in fear of losing him.

With this begins their on-and-off relationship, or is it that they have never really broken off? This situation continues on, from the day Nam leaves to further his studies, and Mimi going off for the same purpose.
In all these years apart, Nam never fails to send Mimi a simple 'Happy Birthday' greeting every 6 June, her birthday.
In all these years apart, Nam never fails to send Mimi a simple 'Happy Birthday' greeting every 6 June, her birthday.
With one girl after another in his life, this is still something he never fails to do, and this is also the one thing that Mimi looks forward to yearly.
A few years after telling Mimi that he is getting married, Nam fails to send her a birthday greeting on time, as it is being delayed 42 hours.
This is due to a heart-rending event which Mimi will never get to know.
"Happy Birthday" is a whole one hour 45 minutes of love story to warm your heart, with a belief that true love leaves an eternal hope.
We caught the show just yesterday after my work.
Not too of impressive to me but it was touching after-all.
1st scene that made me tears was when xiaomi's grandmother passed away silently.
Another was the last scene whereby Nam was at his deathbed listening to xiaomi's casettes recordings.
One thing for sure which is entirely unbelievable was the constant wishing "happy birthday" even after his death.
(It make pple wonder whether if there's someone out there who will be as good as him.
Personally, i do not own an easy life at all but i will not forget that there was indeed that someone who had never forgotten my birthday every year.
From her secondary school to Junior College then to University..
From one girlfriend to another..
Each year i never fail to recieve her "Birthday" sms wishes.
"Well, can you guess who you are?" :)
As or the smoking part, i will quit it once i'm ready.
You don't have strain your head over me puffng away. ;p)
Anyway, the ending part was a kinda confusion like if what if anyone was Nam?
Will you guys remains quiet and keep xiaomi in dark?
I think Nam is brave and he will only want her to be happy.
Although it's not fair to the another party but who has the heart to break the news?
~Sad~Sad~Sad~
(Red : If i was to die one day, i will wanna go before you do.
Jo : Why? But that's unfair.
Red : (Jokingly)Because i will born earlier than you next life again, i will catch up with you by then.
Jo : It unfair to leave me alone weepin' over the loss of my loved one.
Red : Isn't it the same for me as well if you go first, huh?
Jo : I don't care, i wanna go first. ;p
A silly conversation i'd with gf once.
At times i feel that there's no need to compare or to argue.
In life, no one has the right to answer what is bright and gray, what is true or false.
We lead our life whether anything will happen or not.
The best achievement is to live life to the fullest, complete your wishes and dreams if possible.
Work hard and be out-standing;prove to yourself that you are capable of many others things.
Amidst these, don't neglect loved ones, especially your family.
Grasp our hands together and try to make things work if it starts to slips.
Like as in for now, i made a mistake and i pissed gf off.
Intially she cannot accept my reason and explaination, then she starts to cool down and convince herself.
She apologise and accept for what i am.
COMPROMSING~
I totally understand that no passion can outlive anyone for now as this society is to darn polluted.
I cannot demand passion to stay or to have the same kinda romance during courtship.
A little part of me still believe it exist but somehow i'm not willingly to show it out like a display.
Betrayal made me someone i never choose to be.
Well, *pat* urself and still believe.
A certain time, with the right person if you are patient enough, good karma will come to you.
Hell yeah, i am bullshitting now, you may think.
I ain't no story-writer but neither a good talker.
I say what i feel and i deem hell right.
If karma stays with me, i write it all down and you will see.
Anyway, time for me to roll back to REALITY TIME.
