Changes in Life...

Life keeps on changing...at 27 i would have thought that for myself and for the close friends around me we would all have pretty much settled down and probably married, starting a family or in a very stable job. But in the last few weeks and months, I have found that that is not the case. People closes to me are all still changing...some changing bf's or breaking up or starting new relationships, changing jobs, going to different countries to work, to study, some just undecided of what their next step is...etc

As for myself...i think most ppl still think I'm in Maybank...which is not the case, I've quit Mayyyyyyyybankkkkkkkk....bcos like how I've spelt it, that's how fast paced it was. I was bored to tears. Work was slow, ppl were dull and well...let's not go there :p So I lefted Maybank. And now I'm with LexisNexis... a brand new start again....an exciting one tho.

The scary thing is I'm turning 28 soon. At 18 i thought that by 28 i would be married and starting a family soon, but in reality now that 28 is coming...I'm not even close to getting married yet. Tho its not that I'm complaining...cos i've made my choices and not getting married was one of them. But how different things have turned out in all our lives. Its almost exactly 10 years since secondary school, so many changes in everyone. Heck I've put on 14kgs since!!! hahahaha

The changes in my life....hmmmm....well, nobody who knew me would have thought i would be going out with an indian guy. Happily and willlingly ;) Some are still laughing about it & waiting till i let my dad know :p for those who Nd70s_3688dunno...well...here's a picture of Shaun (love this picture ;D)

About my career...I studied accounting and finance and ended up a marketing manager...this still gets to ppl...makes them all go "huh??"

And now when I look at college kids who say "i'm gonna do this and that by a certain age...I'll get married at so and so age...I'll have this and that by when and when"....i go "hmmmm, don't be too sure..." Life really has a way of suprising you.

I'm moving out of my family house soon. which is another thing that i thought i would do only when i get married...but since i'm 27 i felt that Heck, I might as well know what its like living alone...i might never have the chance again...or it might be something i need to get used to...haha...yes, spinster nest...hahaha... (private joke, u guys kno who u are)

Friends and family have not changed much I guess...my close friends thru the years have remained kinda close...of course some of which have drifted slightly as distance and time does not permit too much interaction (those reading this and feeling guilty, yes it means you, so u better write!!)

At the rate that things are changing I do believe there is much more changes to come. So to all my friends out there, choose wisely the path you take in life, don't turn back and regret. Enjoy life and don't spend it looking back in regret. I do believe God has a path for everyone of us, and we really dunno what it is, but he does have a plan and a future for us (Jeremiah 29:11) And its a good plan ;)

So i hope and pray for all my friends out there that God will bless and protect everyone of you, through all the changes in your life. Some changes may seem really scary.... but that's why we have friends to share life with ;)
