26

A blind man may sometimes hits the mark; a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Occassionaly, it is good to act like a sightless person as a perfect vision and proper deliberation do not guarantee a fruitful outcome.

I am a timid woman who detests changes. Ironically, in spite of my hatred towards uncertainties, I seem to be born with the destiny to deal with all the unpredictabilities in life. Well, come to think about it, this is probably the result from the path I have chosen. When you choose the path less travelled by, you will have to expect a wild wild adventure.

I have turned 26 last September this year. The numbers sound strange for me as I have lost track of time ever since I turned 23 three years ago. A friend asked me on my birthday celebration this year: "Now you are 26 years old, do you regret the absent and the loss of your early twenties or actually look forward to what and where you are going to be when you turn 30 four year later?"

"30, of course. It's good to be youthful, though the pain of growing up is something that I never want to repeat. I am glad to be who I am today and totally working towards becoming a better human being as I get older. "
I replied. An answer which hailed from the bottom of my heart.

The year of 2010 is ending. Personally, I like to do the countdown by referring to the season and festivals. This is the month of October, we are going to have Halloween on 31st. Then, Thanksgiving is coming in autumn, at the month of november. Lastly, the last month of the year, December, Hanukkah and Christmas celebrations will wrap up the year. There goes 2010, Goodbye! Hopefully, the new year will be better!

Anyhow, this year is kind of an interesting one for me. Major changes all took place at the same time. I was over whelming and suffocating . I am still coping and adapting but obviously, there are some obvious progress. In life, we have so much to learn;identifying the goal and striving towards it is the only way to avoid disorientation. Somehow, I am blessed as when I got lost, I have a guider to show me the light, at the end of the tunnel. Honestly, I am thankful for that.

First time in my life, I live my life for myself. Regardless of what others have to say, I am happy with my decision, so far. There are uncountables obstacles and predicaments coming in a long run, eveyrbody can forsee them. However, faith can really move moutains. There are ways to walk through the problems rather than avoiding or running way from them, as long as you put your heart into it.

Many years later, I am pretty sure that I will still brim over with joy, recapturing this decision, even if it fails because at least I have done my best to fight for it, instead of shilly-shallying, worrying about the outcome and allow the fear or 'what if' to stop me.

That will be a major regret that I never ever want to have. I adhere to my principle; I am proud about that.

Briskly, cheers for life, hurray.
