Time really flies. It is only a matter of days until I undergo my 25th birthday. Oh well, some people are so afraid of aging and the fear inevitably kicks in. For me, I do have such anxiety but only to a mild extent as I do enjoy and look forward to growing up (yes, I think I am still growing up). The elevation in age makes me feel like I am really developing in everything - maturity, wisdom, wealth, and intelligence.
25 isn't a tender age but a progressing interval - it is when people strive for their career or some might even have achieved some establishments. Reminiscing my 25 years of life, I enlisted several items that I have proudly grasped them under my belt. They could be mere achievements to you but they indeed mean something to me.
1. I bought my FIRST brand new car with only very minimal financial assistance from my parents!
2. I graduated my degree with FIRST CLASS HONORS and officially became a TEACHER! Nothing extraordinary but I am still proud - it is what I reaped after sowing ample of hard work, nonetheless!
3. I embarked on the PhD journey skipping the Masters! (Okay, nothing to be proud of but I am because not everyone has the golden opportunity to do so. BUT I wish I could nail something greater by completing it!)
4. I have become financially independent even when I was still a university student! I had stopped receiving monetary assistance from my parents ever since I began working part time during my third year of studies as a degree student. With the revenue from being a part-time tutor, I was able to support myself hence I didn't seek for money from my parents anymore.
5. I set up a FOOD BLOG with my boyfriend, Kingsley! I have always loved writing but I didn't have a platform for me to do. JK drooling has become a part of my life and I am looking forward to establish it to a greater level.
6. I have become so much more outgoing and cheerful! Yea, I used to be a cry baby - I cry over almost everything. But now I am so bubbly and talkative! I don't get upset longer than a few minutes I think. Haha!
7. I have learned to love deeply madly and most importantly truly! I discovered so much about two souls' compatibility and understood why two persons can never be together. But now, I feel I am being with the right one and hope to have it till the end!
8. I am now in my 4th year SPONSORING a child in Vietnam! (via World Vision - you should too!)
9. I set up an ONLINE BOUTIQUE! Will blog about why I had it started soon. But as of now, it still isn't very established but I really wish to develop it into a real business.
I hope to achieve greater things in the coming years, hopefully something I would live on feeling proud of it. I wish to be able to attain financial stability to fulfil my dreams!
Last but not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to myself!
