23.. quite a popular number.. beckham wears it.. michael jordan wore it and made it his own as well.. bt all these has none to do with me or what im going to say here whatsoever.. im writing abt 23 cause well... oh i sort of remembered that coincidentally happens to be my age.. well at least, the birth year on my IC shows 1986.. so 2009 - 1986 = 23.. wait a minute, does that mean im 23 this year? huh what? WHAT? 23 as in the age between 22 and 24? what serious? u must be kidding me! omg omg omg! no shit, i really really cannot believe this la.. just that not as 夸张 as i mught sound here.. but i seriously cannot believe im 23 already!
cause when i was younger (can allow me to say this, instead of when i WAS young.. i really dun wanna 任老 ma!), 23 was like an age sooo far away, i really couldn't picture myself in.. like how i simply cannot visualise myself when im at the ripe age of 50, needless to say beyond that.. i would think i would be dead before that.. im mean like serious, you might think im weird to think like this.. maybe this shows just how short sighted i am. come to think of it, i really am short sighted.. 400 degrees to be exact.. WAHAHAHA! JOKE LEH! yes im this short sighted.. after putting some thought into this, i think i know why i think like this.. hell i really love this ability of starting to understand myself/ how others think in recent days.. like somehow i can just totally get the person is thinking at the point of time, when i think in the person's shoes at that particular situation/time/other factors.. u do get me right?
i thought it and realised i think this way, cause im running away from reality, escaping the fact that im already past the age when a man is expected to be sensible, mature in thinking/behaviour/blablabla, responsible, blabla all else that's expected of a 23 year-old.. i've avoided facing this fact that i have to grow, for the past 2 years already.. avoided for 2 years that i've to start to behaving/acting/ok not act, just BE an adult. this year is sooo much more different from the past 2 years, this time around the stakes are soooo much higher.. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much higher, till i cannot describe to u, how important is this need to change to me.. this time around, im not alone. this time around, im not changing for myself.. in fact, if its for myself solely, it will be highly likely that i wont bother to change at all.. cause i simply dont quite give a damn about myself de what.. this time around, i NEED to change.. no two ways about this. cause if i remain the current, totally, in all ways, an unlike 23 year old, i know i would hurt that special someone in my heart again.. which i know i cannot afford to again.. so change i must! and change i will!
haiz well as sum1 told me, it is not about the age of a person, its more of the environment he/she is in that will shape the person.. so me in poly now, i really cannot picture myself behaving like an adult. i will sooo going to stick like a sore thumb.. and whats more, i've been behaving anything other than an adult througout my 3 years in poly.. to change suddenly, i think my classmates will totally freak out and ran away away from me la.. so yea, i must change, i cannot deny this fact.. but lets wait till i grad frm poly ba! in the meanwhile, i will step up and gear myself for the imminent BIG change!
