Moving into the 3rd decade of my life...

Ahh...yesh. Today is my 20th birthday~Another 10 years slip pass...What would become of me in another 10 years time?

Anyway...birthday. Well, seriously speaking, I don't celebrate it. My birthday, to me, is just like any other "normal day" of my life. Haha...so I don't really plan on doing anything special or what. At most I go out, meet my friends and have a meal. Or better if I can get my mum to cook something good. At worst, I stay home and rot my day away. Haha. There just isn't this "convention" to celebrate birthdays in my family. (At least for my parents and me, my siblings are exceptions)

Thinking about it...

The first 10 years of your life, you basically are a "clueless person". You come into this world, grow from an infant to a small boy and to a kid. You basically follows your parents around everyday and getting into trouble...basically, by the time you're 20, you would have little clue what has happened throughout your 1st decade...So basically, it's just a "stage where everyone has to go through, and is about the same for everyone". (Unless you're some genius kid of course)

Next 10 years is the one that gives you the "foundation" for the rest of your life. There are many paths and decisions you'll make that will shape you into what you are at the end of the 10 years. The friends you come across, the way you handle things, the places you go to. All your beliefs and goals and philosophies of life are shaped during these 10 years. I think it's probably the most important 10 years you have to go through, and the one that has the biggest impact on your life....

Now I've come to the end of the 2nd "10 Years" and beginning my journey into the 3rd...I think the next 10 years will be one where you really grow. Where you move from being dependent to being independent, mentally, spiritually, financially...everything. It's the 3rd decade that you'll meet some of the most important people of your life~

Well...just my two cents worth...let's all look forward to the future~
