~**~


And so I am now a day away from my 25th. I am trying to feel all excited about it. After all, I am now considered a full fledged adult. Right. In my dreams. As long as I am living here, this will just be an empty title.


I have no idea why am feeling so cranky. Birthdays don't seem to mean anything to me since my 24th. I guess I don't see the purpose of it. There are no benefits that come with it. Do i get to make my own decisions freely? No. Can I go out as an when I want? No. Join classes and tell the truth though it may seem senseless to my father? NO. So what is so great about turning a year older.f Nothing. Zero. Kosong.

I need a life, want a life but do not have the courage to take that step. I rather be quiet and just give in to their stupid demands than to waste precious energy arguing. Ok, I can feel more negative vibes seeping in. So I shall just stop with the whines.

This 1 year ahead of me can only be made special by me. It is in my hands and I will do my best to do what I can to make the next one year a fulfilling one.

A difference to myself and those around me.

But wait, let me list the things I should celebrate for. The little milestones of 24. The year of many Firsts.

Here goes:-

  • I lost quite an amount of weight - after many failed attempts in the past year
  • I have stuck to regular gym workouts and proper diet
  • I ran my first marathon
  • And my biggest achievement of all, turning vegetarian. This month is officially my 7th month. A lucky number.
I hope to achieve more in this new birth year. Namely, a more confident and slimmer me. The much awaited trip to Hong Kong and many more to come. I will have them set out as the days go by.

Here's wishing me a birthday that is as special as me. <3
