My Birthday Celebration

Relectantly turning 21...

It feels somewat like armageddon when i think of my age.

Days.. months.. years.. passed by so fast.

And I am now turning 21..

I remember when i was 5, I went to my auntie's 21st bday celebration. It was a bbq at east coast. My memories of it were the long walk to the bbq pit, the guitar shaped cake, and a fully grown up man who managed to trick me into believing that he was only 7 years old.

Recently, this auntie of mine got married. A few weeks later, my turn to turn 21.

Everything happens so fast. Time really waits for no man.

I had used to dream of being a grown up, with a career, and all the freedom an adult has.

Now thinking back, I believed that god somehow heard my wish and made time fly faster. How i wish I am a young innocent lil girl again! But den, I know for sure that god dont listen to grown ups.

When I,and all of you, were young, life was only about happiness and fun. Of course i admit tt there were times when we didnt feel good.. like when we have to study.. go for tuition.. get beaten or punished by our parents.. some silly crushes tt last for a few weeks.. But, in general, what frustrations did we have? Did we agonise over PAs? health? family? money? interpersonal relations?

Sigh. I hate being a grown up. I still have a few more hours of, ahem, childhood to relish. Let time jus stop..
