and so my 26th year has begun

Dong... the clock has struck 15 mins past midnight, and no, my shoes are safe with me.
ok just me being cheesy haha...ok lame...

Oh well, it is 14th September, which marks the end of 25 years and the beginning of my 26th year on this planet called Earth. In case they are aliens reading this through some next gen internet accessed via the big wide vacuum. ok lame meter just reached 100.

So well Happy Belated Birthday Eric, the next stage beckons, the stage where i go out and work, learn new stuff and strive for a good life. but what is a good life? well that itself deserves another post, on another day. So being the youngest and only son in my family, the responsibility of "Guan Jia" will become more evident. My mum recently said that once i start work, I will have to spilt the electricity bill with my sis, bills will be part of it, but there will also be other aspects; more to come!

This is also a time of reflection, looking back and also forward. What have I achieved? a degree but have i matured? I don't think so, still so many things to learn, to experience, to rationalise, to analyse, all the pressures of life, which I can't run away but can only deal with it. After all past running did me no good so I can only learn to deal with what life throws at me. Then maybe I'll be mature although I think the state of maturity will always change, as life does, as our planet does.

so the past 25 yrs flew like a speeding plane, will the next 25 be even faster? I hope not...what would the next year be like? where I will work full-time, longest ever since my industrial attachment. Well I believe with God's grace, I'll be able to cope. Life has taught me to be positive and optimistic. It will be a good year, a stepping stone for what lies ahead, be it career, non-material needs, dreams, friends, family etc. and so my 26th year on earth begins. Glory to God
