Now 29...

next year the big 30. Believe it or not, I'm actually looking forward to reach my 30s. My coursemate mentioned that she had the best time of her life when she was 30- 35. Time will pass so fast that I won't know what hit me! Hmm...that I have to experience to see.
I spent my birthday at home, doing my dissertation. My sister had to work that Saturday, so we postponed the cake blowing and lam mee lunch (It's a Hokkien tradition to eat this during celebration- at times it's called Birthday Mee) to Sunday. D took my car when he went for morning hill walk and returned it with a new cd player! What a nice surprise :) I'm actually quite used to my trusty radio cassettee player but it sure is a bonus to listen to my favourite cds while stuck in traffic. D gave me one of his old cds which he had during secondary school, it's a compilation of some of my forgetten favourites- songs by SWV, Soul Asylum, Take That..and more (not to forget,the theme song of Beverly Hills 91210 hahaha) sure was refreshing listen to these songs again. Kel, Yvonne, Teng and Chia Hui- thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm so glad we are good friends, it sure is lovely to receive your greetings each year- I'm never sick of it! Heee.

That's a lie...

That's the most blatant way to console oneself. When she past 35... she will tell you life begins at 40.

zewt: My opinion, most ppl sigh about reaching 30 just for the heck of it. Part of building conversation. Also depends on individual, each has their own priorities. If you feel you have lived your priorities to the best and ready to move to the next level, then you'll be more than happy to age.
Not fair for you to make such judgement about ppl you hardly know. She was sharing her most memorable experiences not 'consoling' herself, and it happened when she was 30-35.

Try looking at the brighter side of things, it makes you happier with less regrets.
