Heard a song this morning (cant upload since it's of the 'wrong' format) and thought how appropriate it is... The fact that I've "aged" has been coming back at me quite a few times recently..
A few months back when I turned 21, I'd expected "something" to happen.. changes for sure! Though what kind I really had no idea.. but I've always had this picture that things will be different somehow.. So, I went to bed 20 yrs old and woke up 21.. hmm.. maybe I went to bed 21 already.. But anyway the point is I didnt feel any different the next morning... nor the morning after that nor the morning after the morning after that and so on... until recently that is..
I found out a classmate of mine from high school is getting married! next week! SHOCK would be an accurate word to use here.. Here I am slugging through 3rd year trying to get a bachelors degree.. and there she is getting married.. moving on to the next phase in her life.. kids to follow soon enough.. woah! And that's not the only wedding news.. another acquintance (who's 3 years older) will be getting married soon too.. Up until recently it didnt even occur to me that I'll be attending weddings of people around my age anytime soon.. (well I guess I wont be attending either of these weddings actually but that's besides the point..) And then there are those other little incidences/facts/news that really got the fact through to me.. Life has changed! I just hadnt noticed until now..
For some reason, in my life (I'm not sure if this happens to other people) once I noticed something "new" it'll just keep coming back at me.. time and again! Like if there's a word that I previously didnt know of... once I take the effort to look up the meaning.. that word starts appearing in newspapers/articles/books/all over the place! And this applies to people, facts in life and just about anything... (personally I find it weird.. but it's not a bad thing..)
Ah well.. Life is short!~ As long as you're happy at the end of the day.. you've lived life! :)
... or at least that's what I'd like to think..

so... are you a 'destination' person rather than a 'journey' person? =)

haha.. not really.. i believe one is usually happy at the end of the day because of things that happen during the day itself :)
haha..wah...must be very shock lor..! i haven't had any friend around me that is getting married yet.. i believe it's a weird feeling though.. since sometimes i will kinda compare my life with others..? "as long as we are happy at the end of the day.. we've lived life".. but the problem is i will still be unhappy now and then, makes you feel that ur happy is just "the luck of the day",and so temporary.. while suffering just doesn't make ppl grow.. coz you still feel sad about the same thing again and again..aih.. thinking too much again~ :p.. we should think positive!
i guess life can never be a one-way track; it's filled with side-roads that bring with them all kinds of emotions and experiences. we cant always be happy, just like we wont always be unhappy. dont know if you agree...
well luck may play a part in making our day better.. but i also believe each of us have the ability to work towards making each day a 'good' one.. it may not always work.. but at least you tried..
and it's true that nobody is constantly happy/unhappy.. and that may not be such a bad thing since we always take what we have for granted.. cause sometimes happiness can be a relative term.. if there is no unhappiness to compare it with.. how do you know you're really happy?
