counting.....down...

they used to tell me "after you turn 21,time flies very fast and everything will happen so quickly"....and i used to shrug it off...laugh bout it in my heart bout how tt's not gonna happen to me. haha...and tt i'll enjoy every yr tt comes by..

BUT!!!! i'm about a month away from turning a Quarter of a Century years old...and *GASPS* i nv expect myself..to be 1 of those ladies who'll whine and fret over eye bags....eye wrinkles and wat nots.

SHit...yes! reality is starting to sink in..altho i still feel 18....acting like a pampered princess in front of...some pple.hehe.....being the youngest in the dept...and still the darling gal in the family....I hate to admit tt i AM growing older and experiencing the reality of life...

NorthL. sch came to the hotel for a presentation on Friday...and as the teacher in charge was sharing bout the students who were attached to our company had been transformed from a to Z and stuff....and talking bout Character Development....i almost teared...and memories of how I was like when I was younger, when I entered the working world and before I joined my current company...I realised how much I've grown and changed and how the working world has somewhat forced me to become someone I nv was..i am... growing older....but wiser and more matured.

And when all your frens are starting to give you bombs (I have 2 next month!!! $$$$$$$) and another close colleague getting hitched next month...u know u have hit a different phase in life.

Now tt kor's getting all prep for the wedding in nov....suddenly....my role as a sister is no longer tt of no.2... when he moves out and starts his own family, I'm like no.1....and tt's another realisation that I have to be a GOOD Sister and daughter that my family can count on. Kor's the one who'll drive dad and mum to the airport whenever necessary and when he's not working, and he's the one who talks sense to the younger bros....the one who goes out for movies with them....the one who excels wherever he goes - studies, church ministries, NS, work etc....the one who has always set such high benchmarks tt my younger bros and I can never hit, I now have to take on the role that my family can rely on.

Yes, gotta pass my driving as soon as i can....gotta stay focused on work and studies....and gotta try and be there for my bros whenever they need me....and gotta be the elder daughter that my parents can count on whenever they require my assistance. I guess.....this is another new phase in life...not just for me...but for my fam as well.

It's time to change my lifestyle! But am I prepared for it? It's so tough....even to come back early just for a day for dinner.....
