"Live life as it should be,
See with the eyes of a child,
Hear every beat of life ,
Feel from deep within the heart
And smell the breath of love and life
Every second of the day."

Finally found a place to hang my message board. Don't know whether it looks okay but it will have to do coz I just don't know where else to put it.

Just got back today from Malacca. Had tuition in the afternoon with Armand. As usual he was spouting language I had no idea of in between lessons when he wanted to state his case: I NEED A BREAK!

I know I am approaching 36, well, almost on the threshold of 36 but I don't think that there is cause for alarm. I have friends very much younger than me who are worried for me.

The question is, "Need we have a house of our own?" I guess the answer would be, "It depends."

I bought a car in favour of mobility but I know people who buy a house or apartment rather than a car. One woman I knew bought an apartment because her boss told her she was better off with one rather than a car.

One of my young friends asked me what were my plans when I grew old. My answer was, "Travel." If I am still single and have no responsibilities, why not travel and see the world?

Being old does not mean being confined to the house, pottering about the garden and shuffling on old and weak legs. I intend to be a healthy old woman, as gregarious and crazy as I am now.

Being old doesn't mean the end of the road for adventure.

They say that being old is just a state of mind. Yes, I guess that is true because even though at this age, I still feel that I am the person I was years ago, except that I have gone through a variety of jobs and emotional experiences.

Am I wiser? I don't know about that. I can dish out advise which I don't follow. I still have no idea where I am heading or what is going to happen. Some people say it is okay to be at this age and be clueless.

Like my dad says, "Old age is a curse." But we don't have to wallow in it.
