Older & Wiser

by xin on February 13, 2012

Stepping intoย  late 20’s is a complicated feeling.

I have had quarter life crisis, post-quarter life crisis, and now late quarter life crisis.ย  Not the best feeling but I have overcome them nonetheless. Not going to rant anything, but I wish myself happy birthday!

Thanks to the girls who have celebrated with me earlier and the gifts ๐Ÿ˜€ *hugs*

As I grew older, I think I have improved in:

i. Tolerance
ii. Patience

It’s not easy to hold the anger although there are times that I really want to throw it, but I figure I managed it somehow ๐Ÿ™‚

This year, I wish…to get fit! Not so much on the weight loss (although I really need to), but I am aiming to exercise more regularly.

Currently on my wish list is actually a mountain bike.

It’s retailing at about RM2800+ย  (~USD$1000) and only an entry level of mountain bike! It’s of course, not cheap and I need to make sure this is not a 3-minute passion before I commit to a bike.

Any girls out there fans of bikes too? ๐Ÿ˜€

Happy Birthday, Xin!

I love cycling as I do quite a bit of it while at uni! My boyfriend bought me a Raleigh town bicycle (not as cool as that to-be mountain bike of yours) but light enough for me to use everyday on te road! ๐Ÿ™‚ I don’t think I can cycle in HOT KL as I will simply burn to a crisp!

Happy happy birthday! I haven’t riden a bike in years but I do think its a fun activity and you can share it with hubs and have fun and get fit all at the same time. Why not? Beats riding a stationary bike at a gym, that’s for sure!

I am a fan of BIKING! I missed those days I bike to shop for groceries in China and just go technically ANYWHERE! It’s scary but it was fun at the same time! LOL On daredevil!

I am wishing you the best birthday ever and I know some other wishes that we may wish upon for you too! ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ˜€ miss you and hope to see you for the 3rd time!

Happy Birthday, sweetie! I liked cycling when I was a teen and used to own a racer. If this is an activity that both you and hubby enjoy, I’d say go for it!

love cycling (especially downhill!), but the closest I can get to it now is renting a bike in East Coast Park… ๐Ÿ˜› yours sounds like major fun though!

oh, and Happy Birthday again! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Happy Birthday! It feels surreal to have been spending the last 2 years or so with your blog, and then feeling so near yet so faraway, and wishing happy birthday! =P But it definitely is heartwarming to read those milestone posts. =)

Happy birthday my dear!!! I love cycling when I was teen..But when I jump into uni and now working life, cycling doesn’t come on list anymore. Not when I don’t have a proper bike now. =))
Enjoy and wish you get your Mountain Bike.

Happy birthday, Xin! That mountain bike is hot! I ride a bicycle with a basket — probably something you’d call an auntie bike. ๐Ÿ˜€ Hope you’re having a good day!

Belated Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday! ๐Ÿ™‚

I used to be quite a daredevil cyclist like Nikki but that was when I was, say, 12? Haha! Not sure if that counts.

Currently, I’m contented renting rusty old bikes at East Coast Park during weekends.
