"人生有多少個十年?" (How many decades are they in a lifespan?) was like the phrase of 2009 but in a way its completely and directly true. According to statistics, Malaysian males have a lifespan of just under 70 and females a little over 75. Seems like Im halfway used up now.
My twenties flew by without me noticing much about it other than when I was 21 when I got a bunch of gifts where it meant that I had reached the age of maturity and was given the key to freedom. Envy of singers whose age was same as mine and looking like 30 somethings BUT making millions. Footballers who are same age as I am are still idolized making me feel like Im just a young kiddo.
When I really sat down and think about it, its not actually true that I did not get much from my past years. I am much more different now than I was before. My temper fuse although have lengthened a little but I still consider it short when compared to others. Although I think I am more mature now but somehow I am still a teenager when compared to the people I work with but they are not even 5 years older than me.
I do feel like an old fart now, I feel lethargic too often, my back always tries to kill me, my eyesight feels like they are supposed to be using a much higher power but many optometrist have checked and verified that my glasses are still OK to be used, they new and young joiners at work are highly paid and I sometimes feel like fainting when they tell me their age, heck some of them are getting higher pay than me ...
After all that being said, I am looking forward to many things to come. Many things can be improved and of course I have to work towards that although almost all of us would prefer a simpler route.
