It's been a long while since I ever blogged, or even visited this blog. Doubt many people even know of it, or read it nowadays.

Anyways, just wrote a first facebook note about growing up.

As I grow up, I feel I'm better at noticing my surroundings, gauging people's thoughts and actions to a certain extent. However, I'm also better at blocking out such stuff, and living my life in my own shell i crafted for myself, with the rules i set for myself.

However, many things have happened which make me question the need to change.

People grow older, things happen, actions need to be taken.

Sure, I can just ignore and treat it that nothing is part of my problem. But the question is, should I be acting that way?

A friend of mine decided to dedicate her 21st birthday to having people donate money for the Singapore Children's Society, money which people are willing to spend on gifts for her. Although I'm pretty sure her friends will probably still get her a present or something for her herself, she made me contemplate, what makes her action so different from what many others are doing. I'm not saying that its wrong to want to make your own 21st birthday a "About You" day, but it is something different. I can only recall for my 21st, i was just thinking about it being my birthday, although i didnt do much, it was a day about me.

I guess, it will be tough balancing a "remember to care about yourself" and "not to be selfish and care about yourself". However, I feel that for me, that should be something I should seek to achieve to the best I can, less i end up regretting in the future.

Timeline for change: 2-3 months, or maybe up to 1 semester.
