Two decades

So I've been living on this soil and ground for 20 years now.

I wanted to spend a quiet night after having a good dinner, reflecting my life over these two decades but got carried away by some ice-cream and alert sounds coming from my notebook.

But. Anyways.

Two decades. Whoa. I can't remember much of the first decade of my life except for maybe running around and not having as much to worry about as I have today?

As for my second decade living in this world which seems to be becoming more of a material-based culture and virtues stand at a rather low ground i.e. money = power, beauty = plastic and flesh, high/happening status = a glamourous lifestyle and what more. I wonder if I can manage to go through this world without being consumed by it.

I've heard this line many times from church service and my mom:

"You can be in the system, but you don't have to be of the system."

I wish it was that easy but then again...

Okay mind-block. It's time for me to hit the sheets anyway. I am falling sick.

OH, and one more thing,

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WISHES ! SIMPLY MADE MY DAY MEAN A BIRTHDAY.

The hundreds of posts on facebook (I'm quite proud of this hahah), the calls and messages from Malaysia, - although you guys could've just sent me a message over msn/facebook; I truly appreciate it. You know who you are.

AND of course, the birthday cards I received in the mailbox! SO unexpected. Can't wait for our meet ups in December !

Love and heart-shaped symbols all the way from Melbourne <3.
