22

Today is my 22nd Birthday... no longer lingering along the ambiguous fringes of adolescence/adulthood of 21yr-olds. Nah.. seriously that's too big a piece to chew. Many people describe it as some 'metamorphosis of life', and personally i agree that things change - but there are still things that remain unchanged. For example, gone are the hormonal urge, for example, to purchase the "most-happening" CDs and the gnawing need to update my apparel (IOW buy new clothes lah..).
Well maybe you have different changes (eg you suddenly enjoy line-dancing and volunteering at NKF) or maybe you reckon you have more/less changes compared to mine (delete where applicable), and there will be changes in the future - either conformed to or naturally occured. I will have to vote, to prepare for life after ORD. To prepare for university studies, academically and financially, and the life overseas in a foreign land where "paiseh" is not nationally understood there. To get ready to work my ass off and really pay my bills and taxes. To have gradually thinning-hair ten years later and hopefully a house and car to go along.

Despite that, there are still things that will remain with you. I will still love the rain (and it is raining today - a gift to me on my birthday), i will still lack the virtues of punctuality (something i had seriously tried to cure), i will still enjoy sleeping and waking up late, i will still enjoy keeping my goatee, having fastfood and i will still enjoy laughing while watching horror movies.

I will still be true to myself. I will be me.

Who will you be?
