Twenty Seven!

Another year older and hopefully wiser.

I'm happy that I'm still alive today; happy to know that I've been blessed with another year. At the same time, a lil afraid as time seems to pass by so quickly.

Strangely, this is my first time feeling nonchalant on my birthday eve. Perhaps it's because of the work load? Deep down inside, I still wished I could celebrate my birthday like I'm three years old; with loads of people, balloons, cake, presents, noise, music and without any worries or thoughts lingering at the back of my mind. I've always loved celebrating birthdays because it's the day you commemorate your arrival to the world; the beginning of a journey. And because it's the one day you feel extra special... 

My 26th year on Earth was quite a tough and challenging one:

I've lost both my beloved grandpa and grandma in the beginning of the year. 

Got lost in terms of career, but found my way back onto the right path eventually. 

Started to let go of some things and dreams in order to make way for new opportunities. It's difficult to let go, but it's something I have to do, and presently feel it's the right thing to do.

Discovered new things about myself... and changed perspectives along the way.

On my 27th year on Earth, I will continue to pray for good health and happiness, for you and me :)
