Almost 3 decades...

I walked into the office today and received a few birthday wishes from some of my friends. Thanks guys for still remembering me even though I have not seen some of you since I left to London.

However when I sit down and started thinking, I realised I was drawing nearer to the third decade of my life. And there is struck me. I have lived through more than a quarter of century and now I am wondering what have I been doing with my life all these while?

I guess it would make sense if I started off listing the memorable stuff I have done for the last one year. And the list goes:

  1. Left my comfort zone and went over to London for a better career path. Along the way, I have joined the ranks as a ‘Pendatang’ (of course with a legal work permit);

  1. Began a two-person life without the luxury of parent’s help to pick up the trash;

  1. Travel to five different countries within a year. Something which I can’t even achieved in the last five years;

  1. Meet new friends;

  1. Learned how to construct a photo montage – a new hobby for Kay and myself;

  1. Watched 2 West End theatre plays;

  1. Had a ‘Quick Fuck’ with a good friend of mine. It’s the drink…the alcoholic drink! Stop having kinky thoughts.

  1. Pilot a helicopter… actually it was Flying Bob, the remote control helicopter.

  1. Started a blog;

  1. Went to a strip club and was surrounded by ten ‘curvy’ girls. I had one hell of a night! Okay, that didn’t happen. I made it up, just so to make sure you are not sleeping as the list goes down.

Looking back, its not something to shout about. In fact, it sounded a little bit pathetic to me. Nevertheless, there is always another year for me to make things right. So, for this coming year, I am determined to start of doing stuff which I have been meant to do for a long time (i.e. losing weight etc).

And I will start right away, the next day.

Before that, might as well indulge in the surprise dinner that Kay prepared for me, which I will discuss in my future entries.
