when reality kicks in.. i start dreaming

Finally got my “key” from ma & pa. It’s actually hanging from my neck at this very moment, and it’s going to be my new treasure that I shall cherish for the rest of my life. Wow! I dunno how many times I’ve said this, but- boy, how fast time flies… my folks are getting old.. and so am i. Har har har…
I love ma & pa so much. Looking back, there’ve been so many times I’ve disappointed them, the times I’ve pissed them off and hurt them unintentionally. Oh, so many times. I wonder how many times have I made them proud instead. If I did, once upon a time ago.. I’m going to make sure that long-time-ago trait will not be my last. No child is as utterly grateful as I am for having them as my pillar of strength, as my guardian angels, my parents. 21 years is an awfully long time.. and not once have they let me down. (Well, there sure were times when I was mad. But I must admit, I was the one that started it all in the 1st place). Yea, my parents were very reasonable when they were mad at me all these time.
21…I’m unsure why the 2 numerals seem so shocking to me. It feels as if I skipped from being 16 to 21.. like I said- time flies. I guess it’s really reality kicking in. I’m no longer a kid.. no longer a teen.(And you’d be wondering how have I been living my days as a 20 yr old.. I’m figuring it out myself).
Looking back there’s so much I need to be grateful for. Friends alone would’ve filled up the entire list.. (if I start on this I guess I won’t stop). However, thank you for your wishes guys! And thank you for sticking around with me after so many many years.. Vic, best frenz till we’re sporting toothless grins! Vek, u’ve been amazing. Kwan (ol nutty chap), Joyce, Sashi, Soo - obviously distance ain’t a factor…Claire, lyn – my angel and hamster… david, leanna, poh, jinder, Adrian – hometown buddies… prom, Justin, dom, jeff, ayushna, mun mun, wei li – this 2 yrs have been a blast, may our friendship continue to bloom till we become happy law degree holders… luv you all!
Friends aside, the list just goes on and on.. Lingling, Enen, aunts, uncles and baby cousins (who are growing up ever so fast). They say blood runs thicker than water. Our blood runs so thick, even mercury floats on it.
Ah… I’m 21. I’m blessed. I’m grateful. I’m old.
