» わたしのこと «


The writer does not intend to but tends to make silly remarks that make others laugh. Sometimes she enjoys this unintentional trait of hers, and sometimes she detests it. But nevertheless, she loves to laugh at silly things, both good and bad, mostly little silly things, because she finds that life is too short to spend it sulking away. She also tends to be sarcastic with her words because the subtlety of dry humour makes her laugh even more and lightheartedly at those who "just don't get it."

    The little things in life

    Wednesday, March 08, 2006

    We had a really nice time, celebrating Druce's birthday with a large dinner followed by a chill-out session chatting like we haven't done for a long time. I would have shoved in a photo here but my phone doesn't seem to be able to connect well with my laptop so I guess that means no photo. Anyway Sherina will supply some on her blog. It just reminds me of how long I haven't actually let my hair down like that, not since school started. It also means I haven't been able to go out peacefully while thinking about work the whole time, which just makes going out terrible because I get so constrained by time.

    As my 22nd draws near, I dread to think of the years adding one by one like time counting down, one second by one second, and the fear of growing old eats into me. I know it's not a bad thing to grow old, but it's not a good thing either, not especially when you look back on your life and realise: hey, I actually haven't accomplished that much you know. And then you start calculating how much time you actually have to do what you want to achieve in life and when you put time and achievements together, you discover that they don't exactly correspond. Life is just too short to do all that you want to do.

    Faith and I were just lamenting on how for a woman, nothing big really happens up to the age of 20, and suddenly from then on, for a decade or so, everything starts to fall into place: graduation, travel, work, do everything you want to do freely before having to find a potential boyfriend to get married (if you haven't already done so earlier), get engaged, get married and still find enough time to give birth to your first child before your biological clock tick-tocks even faster. How can a woman do all that in a short span of 10 years? What comes after that is even more hectic: women basically have to become super-women, managing their jobs together with children and still have to find time to do their own hobbies (which usually get killed at a certain point in their lives).
