Growing Up

I find it interesting that at least half of the bros have more than ONE facial product. akc prob has at least 2-3. fatboy, around 2-3 as well, and the same goes for me.

There was a point in time when we thought nothing about facial washes and actually thought it was quite girly to actually use these products. In fact, my mother had to coax me to do it. Funny how times have changed and I find myself being more bothered about all these. I think we're all starting to realise the importance of self image and the need for it and how it reflects on us. And in some way, it also affects our work. Yes, looks aren't everything but somehow, approachability is always a plus point and would remove any prejudices if any.

We were having a catch up before the show on monday (we watched Da Vinci) and we were realising how we were worrying this and that (mostly due to akc's sudden careful diet or maybe cos I've not been hanging around with the guys much). We realised is this age catching up? But then aagin, it's not really that fair to say that cos we're only 25. Seriously. I don't think this age is anything but old. When I'm 30, then i think i'll start feeling old. But who knows, maybe I'll procrastinate this number when I hit 30 seeing I should just be starting my career then. :p

But yeah, we ARE indeed growing up. One can't deny the fact that everyone's pretty much starting work sometime this year or next. For me, it's a whole different experience altogether. One I wish I had experienced earlier.

Nowadays, I busy myself, trying to get things in order for when I get there. And it's really not easy. Bro suggesting maybe getting a property there seeing how I'm actually spending quite a bit on rental for the 3-4 years. And now, i'm exploring that aspect, reading up about buying houses, property taxes and what not. And seriously, the jargon's killing me. I figure i'm gonna have a bigger headache next year when i fill up my tax forms. Which most of us would be doing very soon next year as well.

Yes, we're definitely growing up and there's not running away from it.

I have to figure about cars, learning about it so that I won't get cheated or anything. I need to find ways to cut around corners so that I can save money. I'm planning my studies very careful, planning my internship now, even way before I even stepped into the school. Finding out from past students about their expriences and any tips they might have. I'm trying hard to network myself so that when the time comes for me to find work, I would have enough of myself out there such that people know who I am and what my work is about.

And it doesn' t help when people question me whether it's worth, the amount of money I'm pumping into this education of mine. Much worst, some thinkin it selfish of me.

I would very much like to find a day and do what blackburn has been trying to do, go out and just have a shooting excursion of some sort. But sadly, at least for the past weeks, I've been busy either catching up with people, working or trying to sort things out at home. It doesn't help that apart from personal administration, i gotta worry if there might actually be enough money to support me through the duration of study. And on top of that, packing my house as my house will only be left with my 2 parents.

Fyi, for those who aren't in the know, my bro's going over to china to work for the next 3 years.

Thankfully, I've always managed to squeeze in some relax time all over the place. TV and bugis gamings are quite a welcomed relaxation.

Thinkin about things, I'm quite glad that I'm single. Least I don't hafta fuss about where and what to meet. Currently, I'm having enough headaches trying to squeeze in commitments here and there and it's not like I got a heck of a lot. But without that one constant commitment, I'm free to scehdule anything I want anywhere so long it doesn't conflict with another. Somehow, with a gf, they kinda expect that any free time is their time. I dunno.

Anyway, if I don't blog as much, maybe it's cos I'm too busy or feel that I shyouldn't be spending that muhc time blogging or even chatting. But dun get me wrong, you're always welcomed to drop me a message when you feel like it. And if i do seem angsty and impatient, it's probably cos I'm too worked up on things on my side to bother about slightly smaller things. Or maybe I'm jus frustrated with the vast pool of information out there for me to digest of which 75% of, I cannot understand at all. Hence, I lack the patience to tolerate nonsense which on normal circumstances, I do shrug it off.

So do excuse me while I try to figure out all this growing up business.
