reflections

so july the 11th (tomorrow!), i'll be 30. yeaps. the big three-oh. halfway to sixty as i like to call it.

reflection time. what have i achieved in the past 30 years?
. graduated college and uni with good grades (proving that spm results don't matter much)
. got a job in the oil and gas company i interned at
. transferred from kl to kk (heaven in earth)
. got married to a girl i've dated for 8 years in 2011.
. had a beautiful baby boy, jared. you know you've reached a certain stage in life once you've tried bathing your own kid (making sure he doesn't drown) and clipping his fingernails (making sure you dont clip his fingers off). seeing jared every morning and night just makes everything worth it.
. sold off my condo in kl with a cool profit.
. bought a toyota in kl and sold it in kk with a profit.
. bought a land in inobong.
. got an apartment in kobusak.
. bought a terrace in kibabaig.
. bought a honda (albeit used).
. travelled places (furthest being egypt)
. LEARNED TO SWIM (and loving it)
. LEARNED TO DANCE, salsa specifically (and loving it)
. got my offshore safety passport
. flew on a helicopter to samarang
. finally getting a holiday for mom and dad overseas.

will list down more once i remember deets. in any case, i'm kind of content. not that being content with life is a good thing (having realistic life goals is important), but it's okay. work is okay.
family is lovely. can't say i hate the life now (although i can use a bit of more me time :)).

just have to say that there's aaalways a way for everything. just have to work harder and find ways. there's connections, family, friends.

and thanks to reddit for making my life more 'useful' in this past 2 years.

here's to another PROSPEROUS, FULFILLING, HAPPY, STRESS-FREE 30 more years to come!
