Dare to Age

I have come to a point in life where age is something i would rather not think...let alone talk...people say that they are just numbers...as long as it doesn't equate to your IQ...hahaha....i wished!!!

Aging is just another process that i need to go in life...but i want to do it gracefully and most importantly i want my life to be meaningful as i aged..i want to be somebody who is definitely strong mentally and emotionally... Physically? Well, lets say, healthy is the word of the day...guys, i just want to be able to look back without any regrets...

Its kind of scary really to think that i am coming very closely to being in the 5 series (and i am definitely not refering to BMWs)...half a century (dear me!!)...I like to think that i have achieved so much in life (which may be little to some since its all very relative)...yet, have i? After kindergarten, primary and secondary education, i had the opportunity to study abroad (thanks to Malaysian Government)...5 years in UK pursuing my ambition to become a Civil Engineer...but that didn't happen...thanks to global recession!!  But 5 years in UK taught me a lot about life...trust me...a lot!!! Hmmm...may be i will share with you guys one of these days, huh?

As mentioned in my 'Possibilities in Life', i was a Civil Engineer turned Military Pilot...any regrets? NEVER!!! I am married with 6 kids...any regrets? NEVER!!!  Of coz, till now i still go thro challenges in bringing them up...but who isn't? Amidst trying to juggle between building a career as a Military Officer and Pilot, i am also trying to be a decent mum to my kids...easy? difficult?  Its all in the state of mind (yup, my favourite motto and principle in life)...a glass is half empty or half full will depend on how i look at it, right? It will be my choice whether i wanna be pessimistic or optimistic...

Eventhough i am almost reaching 50 (boy, do i have to mention this again?),  i realised that there are still things that i have not done in life and still look forward to doing them...like a ride in a hot air balloon...scuba diving... handgliding...ultralights...rock climbing...riding scooters underwater...travel the world...even bake pastries (hey what can i say, i just love them!!!)...etc...etc...etc...my god, that is only half of them!!!

But having said all this, i am also trying very hard not to leave behind another important aspect in my life...to strengthen my faith in God...which probably should be the top priority at this point in life...to have that inner sense of happiness and peacefulness....  

Suffice to say that as i aged...i wanna be somebody of strong character (and healthy)...yet a humble servant of God....isn't that the true sense of aging?
