Some people say the greatest secret of a girl is her age. I don’t see why we girls have to hide our age. To me age is mere number and perhaps does not serve too much of a purpose. The one and only person I know who loves to reveal her real age is none other than my mum! That has become her prerogative since she does not look her age, not even a tad bit. Ah well, little missy here must have inherited her mother’s good gene. *chuckle* (or so she hopes)

It’s kinda weird that people kept asking how did I feel being a year older on my birthday. To be perfectly honest, I felt indifferent… I still feel like 22 if you ask me.

However, looking back, it has been a year working in Accenture. The experience no doubt enriches my life as a tiny adult (assuming the fact that I think adulthood starts at 20 :P) finding her place in the big big world. Gone are the fresh-from-university look and the doe-eyed girl (not completely though).

Without realizing it, I’ve begun to look more like a working class. Someone once told me that I had the most innocent face (wide-eyed and curious) in the entire office that she almost felt so sorry for me; sorry for the fact that I was about to be exposed to the stone cold reality and the cruelty a work place can offer. I am just too glad that I turn out to be unharmed.

I let my guards down too easily sometimes but if I were to be too wary about the surroundings perhaps I will not be the same person ever again. It’s just too tiring to keep guard on everything and everyone all the time. It sounds almost gullible to begin with but a little bit of trust and respect can very well make the world a better place to live. I strongly believe so, don’t you?

As a 23 year-old now, I want to be able to forgive and forget more, I want to be just a little bit more patient, I want to be more understanding, I want to be less easily agitated, I want to be just a little more considerate and helpful, I want to be that somebody that I’ve always been trying to be. These things sound so simple and within reach but you know what I’m still trying…

Most importantly, I want to be able to find closure to things which are left hanging. Finally I want to find peace within my soul.

So hello 23, I promise I’ll make you a blast!
