24 years of age
the older i get, the more insignificant birthdays become. i wonder whether its the ageing effect. i mean, i'm less excitable and am just happy to spend some relaxing time with mummy. in fact, i was even struggling whether to tell my colleagues that it was my bday. in the end, told the younger ones and treated them to lunch. in return, i got a surprise gift (a rather useless wooden table deco thing that when wound up, plays silent nite - which i will place on my desk and irritate them with it when we work late, =p) and a grandma card (despite me being the youngest). yes, my colleagues are strange but are an interesting bunch to hang with.
didn't tell my boss or colleagues in my team coz if i did, it would be like screaming "treat me!" n they were all older and might be more sensitive to birthdays... u know. altho its not so nice to be in a dept that doesn't celebrate each other's bdays, not everything is ideal, so it doesn't really matter. in fact, i realise that more n more things dont matter with age, haha. perhaps its just maturity that enables one to narrow down on the few things that do.
hmm i shall stop rambling like a grandma now, heh.....
so here's a record of how i spent my 24th bday. slept in and did a facial while waiting for mum to return from market with my fave breakfast. in the aft, mum n i went for dimsum high tea buffet at goodwood park hotel. it was really good! and they served a complimentary durian pudding which was to-die-for. coming from a durian-shunner, you can imagine how tasty it was. shopping followed and after getting wat i was looking for - skinny jeans, we went home for the cake cutting and had rich royal choc cake for supper =) eating and shopping - wat i do best. haha, a perfect simple enjoyable birthday.
actually, i cant believe i'm 24. dont let the number of candles fool you, i feel exactly the same as a few yrs ago. i am from today onwards, a self-proclaimed forever 21er. =p

分手epilogue
不知不觉，一年已过。偶尔也会感到孤单寂寞、心酸。但这总比两人爱得彼此都痛苦来得好。
如今我已成长许多，也快乐多了。伤心痛苦的时期好像是多年前的回忆。感谢上帝这一年来的赐福。没了男友，多了朋友，生活反而更精彩！
=) i embrace this season of singlehood.
(n gave up translating my tots to chinese，哈哈)

getting old(er!)
tick tock tick tock tick tockyou know your biological clock is ticking when at gatherings, frens no longer gush about boyfrens / girlfrens (ok, guys dont "gush" abt gfs, more like talk only upon probing...), but conversational topics are abt proposals, marriage plans, hdbs, photogs, gowns, rings and the like.
tick tock tick tock
tick tock.....just like the crocodile in peter pan, it just creeps up on you.
=====================================================================
mum has been expressing her desires for a grandchild. not that i can do anything about that. naggings abt finding / praying for the right guy follow. she has my interests at heart la. the greatest wish for parents are usually the same - to see their child succeed in life. how success is defined differs of coz. for mum, having a good stable job and happy family life are more or less, it.
my current read is "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Joshua Harris. i showed her the book. she took one look at it, frowned, looked at me, and said, “不要啦！”
it was hilarious. =p
