One little toe into my X-years away coffin...

In 6 more months, I'll be 2-7.

Gosh.
Time really flies.
I remember when I was at Peiqi's house when her sister, PeiPei told me how time would fly when u reach your twenties, then thirties, and then that's it.
It will be like you are seated in a sleigh on the top of a snowy mountain,
and when the sleigh plunges...vroooooom!!
there's no stopping to it...!

I feel old.
Not the wrinkled kind of old.
Just old.

You know, the kind of aging process you experience even though you may not be like 50?60?

Just 2 days back when I offered to help out at my mum's workplace where I have to bend over to check on the prices of the stock most of the time, I feel my lower back gave way to an unbearable excruciating pain.
I thought that was just an effect of minimised activities I had over the past months (ya, I admit that I haven't been heading down to the gym, but hey! recall that I was working 7-7?!!ok fine, not an excuse also right).

Worse to come, while helping there, they were tuned in to 972.
And I was really enjoying the songs played.
'Cause I know all the songs that were played.
I can even sing along to the lyrics.

Signs of aging are really showing. (well, hopefully I am not showing it physically...)

I am slowly progressing from 933 to 972.
Who knows in a while more, I'll be tuning in to my next "favourite station" -958??!!

I always felt that the music you listen to is an indication of which generation you belonged to.
Not the genre, but what you considered popular and soothing to the ear, the kind which I would describe as, 耳熟能详 will be the telltale signs to which era you are from.

I am really getting old!!!!

And I am starting to wonder about the meaning of life.
What is life all about, really?

What is that we are pursuing?

As I wonder on the meaning of life,
I realise that time is seeping away together with my drifting thoughts...
I oughta make better use of it.

Before one of my little toes creeps its way into my X-years away coffin...

My only consolation and my future 座右铭 - Age, is only a number :)

P.S. : I thought it would be more interesting if I had expanded more on that view on meaning of life topic, but am really rushing for time...to go swimming! wait for my next post ya!
