Today I’m turning 3-1. The first thing I noticed when I look myself in the mirror is my first strand of silver hair. My first sign of aging and it’s telling me that my age is finally catching up on me.
I have been accustomed to seeing people younger than me or around me having silver hairs but I’ve never visualized myself having to see a day like this to come. It has never crossed my mind.
This must be karma to me for laughing hard at my bf whenever I spot silver hairs on his thinning crown. I remember how I used to flip my hair in front of mirror and confidently adoring my thick, black crown. The envy of many but now I can’t forget the scene in the bathroom this morning.
On the contrary, I have a very good birthday today (ugh! I will kill anyone that try to remind me of this morning’s bathroom incident). My morning started with an early wakeup call from my younger brother that hasn’t catch a wink since last night till this morning because he was still on call (really sucks to have a job that robs you off your beauty sleep) while I was having good dream. Then my mum came to me and said to treat me nice breakfast, to be honest, this is the first time I have breakfast with mum in this way and on my birthday morning. I guess such thing don’t happen much in traditional Chinese family but it’s a good start. Besides, I also have my 2 cute and lovely niece and nephew that I both love and adore. Seeing them gives me so much joy and happiness.
While my younger cousins are all laughing at me stepping into the 30s but I need to let them know, stepping into this age is not all that scary. At least I can say goodbye to days where my wallet is as thin as paper. I walk into boutiques people start serving me and not giving me looks as though I’m just some youngster where the only thing I can afford is the friend I accompanied to go in with.
Today, I'm also a proud to say that I own 1 property and 2 car without any parents funding. I am also no longer the person where people don’t take my words seriously because I’ve been there, seen that, done that. I’m glad I’m moving forward with my life and not backward.
So there you have it, the first post on my life at 31.
