As the world turns


Lo! I find myself up, at 2.30AM.
Wondering at the good/bad luck of having caught 2 Q-finals ending in penalty shootouts.

And realise it is July 2. I have just turned 34.

This always happens... every single year. The year plods - or whizzes, depending on what's going on - by, and next thing I know, I am a year older. But it's truely a non-event. I don't bruit it about. I never plan a celebration. I never do anything. More often than not, I'll be working. Like this year.
*chuckles*
I guess I never did abide by mere numbers.

As old as you feel, as young as you think you are - that's what I always tell people.

Having said that, I did clear some time off next week (after world cup, o'course!) but it's going to be a stay-at-home week as the hotel I wanted is booked solid. Perhaps I'll do a little belated bday pampering. Gather up enough courage and get a brazilian wax. Heh! Did I say pampering? Or torturing?


Ah well. Another year. Older. Definitely wiser.

Happy Birthday Fi!! And go for the Brazilian wax!! It's quite an experience and I was amazed by the angles you have to get yourself into so that they can get to every bit *grins* But it's fun lah!!

Hi everyone. Thanks for the wishes!

Ach, Greg, no beer, quiet celebrations unlike your beer fest ;P

Liza, every angle? What a temptation!

JimBob, one of these days, you'll have to provide me an email address so I can get to know you. *chuckles*
