all grown up

20 years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover.

Haha! I feel like this proud older sister now. Read this really good reflection about 2013 from my friend and you can really see how people really just grow up. And somehow, you can't help feeling proud. To have a friend like that. That you can proudly say to everyone, "That's my friend there." HAHA! Primary school friend some more. Heh. =D

But yea, what he wrote really struck me, and I think almost everyone because 2013 has really been a year of change. So many changes happened, changes that we are so unfamiliar with. But the only thing we can do is to adapt and adjust to the changes. We can't wallow in our sorrows for the changes. Because yea, change is the only constant. Change will always happen and we can't let it push us down every single time it happened. I think everyone can somewhat relate to what he wrote. Though his is the army path but it's still changes nonetheless.

Somewhat inspired by him now. Haha! Still feel so proud. It's honestly kinda cool. To know someone ever since you were 9 years old (which was 10 years ago by the way) and seeing how much he grew. Haha! I guess it's cool 'cause you can see the transition through the years because we are cool enough to stay in contact after all these years. Haha! Still miss all them idiots. Especially this boy in UK. But yep!! Soon soon I hope. Really kinda miss our big groups. Having at least 10 people together. Ok, we are only 10plus people altogether but you get what I mean.

I really miss going out in big groups. Not that I don't like small groups. But in big groups, you feel very proud? HAHA! Like even though together you are crazy and mad noisy and everyone is just staring at you. But you have this feeling that they are staring because they are jealous? HAHA! Yes yes. Me and my weird proud issues. But yea, it really feels nice. Like see here, all my friends are here. Haha! And you laugh a lot somehow. Because in big groups, there will always be someone or some people who will do something really stupid and weird and you will laugh until you want to die. In big groups, you don't usually talk the deep stuffs much but you know that you really enjoy each others' company and that's enough. Laughing together and doing really random shits together. Yea, I really miss that. Like even walking can be fun.

You know, I realise that actually I do really learn a lot from this boy. Haha! His thoughts are just somehow very clear. Well, most of the time. Unless he becomes a butterfly. HAHA! But yea, it's quite nice to see someone your age, who is also your friend, to be clear of what kind of future he wants. Like even though there are changes along the way, he embraced them and readjust his route. He never was really lost? Even if he was lost, it's only momentary. Then he will somehow get his footing again and find his way. It's quite impressive to be true. And it's nice to see someone like that in your life? Someone who you can actually talk to and not like some inspirational speaker or something. Haha! Like someone very much down to earth I guess?

One thing he said that struck me before was "Don't find a job that you love, love the job that you do." Or something along that lines. Haha! But he really does give quite good advices. Sometimes, you really can't believe that he's 19 years old too. Haha! He's actually younger than me some more. Lol! But ok, we kinda did established that he's quite an old man for his age. Haha! But yes, still very proud of this old man. Sigh, the only guy who bothers. Haha! Really hope he is surviving well in UK too. But I'm quite sure he is 'cause it's freaking United Kingdom. So so jealous of him.

I really hope that someday, we can really all travel overseas together. Haha! Ok lar, right now, I really just want to meet up with all of them. It's really hard though. But ok, I won't give up texting and calling them people if need be. Such annoying people but I still want to meet them.

"But I guess I chose to write this as a reminder that I'm going to experience plenty of changes here on. It's not school anymore, but it doesn't have to be a bad thing."
