Birthday Thoughts
New Order articulated my birthday wish this morning when I travelled to work:
"Don't wanna have to work like other people do
I wanted to be free
I wanted to be true"
28 years. Old man indeed.
Ran 2 km in over 20 minutes. Twice the time of what I did 10 years ago.
Struggled to do 30 situps in 1 min. Half of what I did 10 years ago.
Am celebrating my birthday with my work today. 10 years ago, I received a Zippo lighter for birthday present (obvious reasons) while getting myself wasted at Boat Quay.
10 years ago and now. What a sobering thought!
10 years now and ahead. Will it be any different?
One thing I hope for sure is that I will still be blessed to have my beloved wife, kids, family and cousins celebrating my birthday with me.
Thank God. It's not easy getting old, but you have made it easier with these people around me.
