Being 30 and loving it

Tuesday, March 25, 2008

In a week I'll be turning 31. I was okay being 30, but suddenly turning 31 feels a bit overwhelming. Silly, huh? Anyway, I've had a colourful year in my 30th. It felt like a year where I finally grew up.

- The biggest and most exciting change is of course being a mother. The whole experience of being pregnant, going through childbirth and now watching baby grow every day have all been very rewarding.

- I began to invest seriously. I read a lot and learned to take a little risk. I thought a lot about my personal finances and decided to refinance my property.

- I lost my beloved cat, Piper. It's been a very painful experience but it has taught me to learn to deal with the death of a loved one.

- For the first time after being in the work force for 9 years, I really enjoy the company of my colleagues. I only have the nicest things to say of them. I am enjoying where I am right now.

- Too many crimes have happened to people I know. I even saw some of them with my own eyes. This has made me very fearful. As a result, I tend to be more alert and paranoid about my surroundings wherever I am.

- Whilst I didn't care much for politics before, I have become interesetd in the political happenings in the country. The 12th general elections has been a lot of entertainment to me.

Life sure is more colourful these days. Being 30 seems like a big milestone for me. I wonder what is in store for me as I cross over to being over 30.
