Birthday Card

I received my first birthday card today. I didn't expect it to come with the $30 Takashimaya voucher. I would have thought there was only the voucher. My department head was the one distributing the card. A pleasant surprise on Friday. However, at the same time, I felt so old.

Approaching the mid-20s, I wouldn't say that I have achieved a lot in life. I have yet to travel around half the world. Nor have I become half a millionaire. However, I am proud of myself that I had the chance to travel widely to countries like Argentina, Chile and South Africa. This kind of lifestyle is what many peers of my age would not have imagined. Attaining the status of being financially independent even before the age of 20 is considered another achievement for me.

Of course, I have a lot of plans in mind for the next 20 plus year...in terms of work and social.

P.S. Unfortunately, I would still be slogging myself on my birthday, as a new lady is joining my team on Monday and my boss will be on leave on the day of my birthday.
