A short post on this one day that comes every year

On this one day that comes every year, and I always pay attention to it like anyone else would...

First of all, I thank everyone for sending me their best wishes for hailing my 25th birthday. As some people would like to call it their quarter-life crisis, I suppose it is for me too...for various reasons I may highlight in my next post most possibly tomorrow with the best and worst things in NUS coming then as well...

But, as usual today I would put aside everything and just become myself - just for today.

As always at this moment every year, I always have 3 wishes - but this time they assume greater magnitude than I ever thought they would..so here they are:

1) Wish for the gods to bless me in whatever career I may be in...which I would decide very very soon...

2) Good results to sign off what can only be said to be a troubling academic time in NUS for all various reasons...

3) Maintain good relationships with each and everyone of you - it's much harder to catch up when we will be in work and everything else is secondary to work - that's how it always is...barring relationship commitments of course...

You might sense that for this top 3 wishes I do not include something that has been very very close to my heart - I decided that no one can force it and in any case, fate will decide what will be...and what won't be.

And for a bonus wish...

4) For my family to become much stronger and tighter in the remaining year to come - with my brother's formal wedding mitigated by other troubling things which I cannot mention here - I sincerely hope for things to improve...that would make me the happiest guy as I do not have to worry about such things anymore...

So to conclude - cheers to a happy 25th birthday for me.
