Better late than never...

Haiz... in just a blink of an eye... in the small space of a birthday weekend... i have made the BIG STEP... from the Mid-Twenties... into the LATE-Twenties!!! Argh.... i seem to be feeling worse and worse every birthday since my graduation man... maybe it's because i don't wanna grow up... like Peter Pan... or maybe it's coz birthdays weren't what they used to be anymore.

Remember the days when you just couldn't wait for your next birthday? So that you could throw a big party at McDonalds (i never could coz it was too ex) or anywhere else for that matter? So that you'll get all the presents from your family and friends and you'd be having that rush whenever you were opening presents? Sighz... those really were the days..

For most of us now, a birthday means simply, a year older... another step into the unknown world of... *gulp*.... MATURITY. With it comes more responsibilities, power (if you're Spiderman), stress, worries... everything you never gave a thought about when you were a kid. I guess it's about time i've started thinking about what i'm doing with my life and what i'm going to do.. coz i can't run away from the fact that i'm NOT Peter Pan....

Highs and Lows from my Birthday Weekend

High 1: Sharon surprising me on Thursday night with a birthday cake at my house.


"Hooray! One year old!!"

Ok it wasn't THAT big a cake but it was filled with love and sincerity if you ask me. :) Oh yea... i forgot to mention.. i was out having supper by myself when she came at midnight and had to wait for me to reach home after i finished my bowl of Laksa. Dang. The thought still counts though doesn't it?

High 2: NMB team surprising me on Friday afternoon with a birthday cake at work.

Yes! At work!! The last place i'd ever expect anyone to bother with my birthday... especially when everyone's always looking so stressed and busy (some more than others... :P). Alot of the credit had to go to my "CEO" Low Lay Leng... who actually came up with the idea and made all this happen. Thanks Low Lay (oops... that don't qualify you as a LOW)!!!!

---------------------------------

Low 1: 26 years old.

Help. I feel my youth is dissipating.

Low 2: Working on Saturday.

Did i mention i hate working on weekends? Did i mention i hate working FULL DAYS on weekends? Did i mention i hate working?

Low 3: Norwich trashing United 2-0.

There are good days in football, and there are bad days.... but in no uncertain terms, this was a totally FUGGED up day. The worst performance from United i can remember in a looooong time... toothless strikers... lost midfilders and brainless squad members. Future is looking bleak barring a miracle.

As you can see from the Net Effect above, i had a lousy weekend. And i don't think my birthday weekends in the near future will get any better too, as i roll toward the big 3-0. Unbelievable.
