it's 1st of june 2007... 3 years ago, i just graduated... and it was amazing how i got a job, changed job after 5 months and now, in the midst of another job transition.
i remembered when i was in sec 4, a friend asked me... "what do you think you will be doing 10 years down the road." i told her, 10 years later... i will be 26... and it's the ideal age to get married... or maybe i will move out, stay in a studio apartment with a friend... get the freedom i wanted for a long time... hold on to the job that pays me well.
hahaha... now that i am 26, the life that i am leading is far from my imagination 10 years back. i'm still single, no potential life partner in sight... staying in the same house since i was born... the friend whom wanted to stay with me in a studio apartment got married and bought a new 5 room flat in central area... the job that i'm taking up in 2 weeks' time is not a high-paying one...
am i disappointed?
as for now, i am contented with life so far...
let's just say that even if what i've hoped 10 years ago was fulfilled now... i might not be as contented as i am...
but i am now turning 26. i have a license but i dont know how to drive. i am still staying in my noisy HOME and cramped room. there is no studio apartment in sight.
and i have thyroid, am about to become real fat, and am not sure if i am joining the new company at all.
yet like you, i can still say i am contented. for all the good things that have happened and the good people i've met.
when they say happiness is not about having what you want, it's about wanting what you have.. it's probably true..:)
(i wanted to comment on fri.. but the comment page simply refused to load..:p)
wee, have u watched "the pursuit of happyness"?
each has his own race to run. along the journey, there might be stones on the road to trip us, people who stepped on our foot to overtake us, and turned their backs to jeer at us. however, the good runners whom we met along the way will encourage us to finish strong. :)
i've met u and ran alongside with u... keep running positively, we will see each other at the finishing line.
no i didnt even get to type! haha.. something was wrong with the company's network that day..
