30
Up till recently, I never seriously thought about the concept of turning 30. Time certainly has flied, and in no time, it’s finally me who has to face this.
In some sayings, life doesn’t begin until you turn 30. The reason behind such comment is that by the time we become 30, we have passed our initial phase of pondering around, we should have hit enough walls before 30 to understand how life works and how society works. The years before would have already smoothened our rough edges and made us more comfortable about who we are.
But, am I?
Looking back, I don’t think I have changed that much, I am still that same kid who loves to be around his friends, one that is eager to know anyone and everyone, one who defies authority. However, I did learn more about myself, I start to know what lifestyle I like to live in, what kind of environment makes me happy, what kind of work is my passion, how I should treat my parents…etc. I started to know my temper does have a limit and that I am not as friendly as I once thought I was.
All in all, 30 doesn’t seem to be much of a hurdle to me as it has been portrayed by others. Although by most asian standard, I am still not up to my age group yet, I am the lone person in my college year that is still single, and though I had my various ventures, I have yet to settle in one single city for more than 2 years. perhaps by the time I turn 30, my view will change and so will my life..
For these reasons, I anticipate my 30th.. it will be a great party

i guess turning the big three-o, just like turning 20 or 40, doesn’t necessarily make one feel different. it’s more like people start to expect different things out of you, then you gradually just slip into the 30-year-old persona…
which doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing right?
if you are old, then what am i?
they say, “30′s is the new 20′s”
i think guys are at their peak in their early 30s
lol…life only gets better after 30, dood. trust me.
well i am sure u have an awesome 30th. I didnt feel any different. I think society puts more pressure on single females in there 30′s. it doesnt phase me.
so where’s the party going to be?
happy birthday babes!
wow! you’re old! i kid. i kid. 30 is really not old at all.
30′s not big deal…..been there…done that….it’s just a number…
