Stoking the Fire
I've finally crossed that milestone I've been so fearful that I'll never make it pass.
It's like a massive load off my back. It's good to finally be there.
To be financially independent. To bring home the bacon. To purchase whatever my heart fancies. Within my limited budget, of course.
Now, time to set goals. Where I see myself one to two years down the road? What do I want to achieve? Where do I want to be?
With romance nary in sight, it's time to plan for myself.
My aim is to get a place of my own by 35. Unless I strike it DAMN rich, a HDB flat will have to do. A private apartment or a shophouse will of course sit very nicely with me. But with inflation and what nots...that dream seems to be slipping away....a little at a time. But then again, who can stop me from dreaming?
Venture overseas. Study or work...whatever comes my way.
Set up my own business? Who knows?
With so many things I've silently lined up for myself, I sometimes wonder if I do it to fill up my time, so the loneliness boredom doesn't gnaw away the insides.
With time ticking away and hope fast fading, it all seems like a distance dream already. Damnit. I sound so defeated it scares me sometimes.
Is romance everything? It sure isn't. But you see so much of it around you that you wish to be able to partake in it.
Oh well.
For now, it's gonna be all about me, myself and I. I'm going to do what my heart desires, without a care in the world (other than saving for my own place). Pursue what I wanna do, in my time, with no need to be responsible to anyone else. Ahh...therein lies the freedom of being a swingin' single ;)
***On a side note, I need to document this: I completed my *first-ever* marathon. A 6km Bay Run last Sunday. Wow. Unbelievable. I woke up thinking I must be off my rockers....to pay and put myself through this torture. I kept thinking I was gonna collapse and die suddenly of a heart attack. But I made it and in half decent timing too. Sure does give me the motivation to do another. And this time...to properly train for it. And lose weight! Heh. A slimmer me...coming right up!
