In a short span of one week, I learnt that one of my secondary school friends had gotten married for a year and happily living in Shenzhen right now. Another one of my JC friends will be getting married in October! It’s just amazing. Four years ago, I remembered the whole barrage of happy 21st birthdays from everyone. And now I’m sure it’s all these crazy rush of wedding news and invitations. Time really flies… Graduating in 1 month’s time, I don’t just feel the new chapter of my life unfolding, I see and hear it materializing around friends my age.

Like Marcus said, 25 - 49 is the Golden Age, the time when you start to get real serious and when dreams are not longer dreams. I can’t agree more, though I prefer the former to be as late as possible.

When friends around me are starting to get married, I can’t imagine I haven’t even started my first step in the working world (internships and part-time jobs aside). I’m really excited about this new phase of life. Bring on the coming of age (and $$$)!
