So What If I'm 30 Years Old?

Since New Year's day, I've seen some 85's babies moaning, dreading reaching the big 3 O. These people are mostly married and some with children.

Oh dear. Come on. There's nothing to dread. It's going to come anyway. It's not like you can be in your twenties forever.

And then I was like, come on la dude. I'm turning 30 in a month and a few days time and if we were to compare, I'm unmarrried, childless, I don't own a property and according to society's standard, I failed miserably in achieving the pre-set milestone.

When I look at people my age, with most of them married and having kids, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparing my low moments with their high moments.

But I have to always remember this, there's so much more going on behind that happy couple/loving family thing. Things like financial issues, in-laws, cheating spouses.

Did I tell you the story about a couple whose wife had just given birth to their first baby and she was back in her hometown for confinement? Her husband took the opportunity of the wife's absence to bring his girlfriend into their marital home.

And they are planning to get married end of this year. Terrible, I know.

Am I miserable because of my increasing age and the many things that I did not achieve before I reach 30 (like getting married and have kids)?

No I'm not. In fact I'm looking forward to be in my thirties.

Why shouldn't I?

I'm in my best shape, so far. I think I looked better than when I was in my twenties. And didn't you know, women are most beautiful and sexy in their 30's?

It took 30 years to look this good

Because I'm unmarried, I can do what I want, go wherever I want and buy whatever I want with my money. Or wake up anytime I want.

I'm confident and comfortable with myself, my body, my life choices. My mind is at ease. Every night before I sleep, I only have myself and my family's welfare to think about. I'm more matured and experienced in handling life.

When it comes to relationship, I'm no longer this googly eyed, fool in love kinda lady. And regarding life choices, you decide how to live your life because in the end, it's your life and only you have to deal with the consequences. People can try to say this and that, telling you to do this and that, but know that you don't have to listen to them.

I looked forward to a night in on any day. Watching tv with a hot cup of tea is more inviting than the idea of clubbing into the wee hours.

Would I like to back to my twenties?

No. I was insecure, miserable and stupid in my twenties. I was ugly, fat and unsure of myself and my life choices. I was a people pleaser back then and ignored my heart.

Age is just a number. If you looked after yourself well, you'll look better than a 20 years old girl even when you are in your 40's. Eat well, exercise well, keep your heart and your mind healthy.

By the way, people have always remarked I don't look my age, so what have I got to worry? I'm thinking of doing something cool for my 30th birthday. Any ideas?

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.

Manusia Dua Alam

Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat. Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard. First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!" Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga. Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
