傻傻的我26歲了!

Remember a couple of years ago, I penned a self reflection on my 24th birthday in Taipei. First time ever that I was away from home that long, but I enjoyed myself tremendously then.

2 years have since passed, and I have started a new chapter of my life. Looking back again, I realized that I might not be the smartest, or even an average guy. I'm quite 傻傻的人。 But fortunately, 老天爺保佑傻傻的我!

When I was in Secondary school, many wondered how I got in to the top classes.
When I was in Poly, no one expect me to top the class in some modules.
When I was in the army, no one would have guess I would be accepted by local university.
When I was in the university, no one thought I could score above average CAP (and multi-tasking various roles).
And also, others unexpected happenings...

Not the smartest guy, nor in any way charming, I truly think 老天爺 have been watching over me and blessing me with things others thought were impossible (or at least unlikely) for me.

This year, 傻呼呼的我 have much to ponder about as I have left with not much years in my youth. There is so much to do, so little time (and of course money). Hopefully, this year I could widen my horizon, increase my knowledge and expand my experience of life and the world. Life is so short and this makes our youth even shorter and mine is seemingly running away at an amazing speed that I'm feeling hard to catch up with.

Also, hope that 傻呼呼的我 continues to be blessed by 老天爺 over many other things and living things that are unexpected of me. There is an old Hokkien saying: ‘人傻,老天爺疼’。Maybe that's explains why.

Happy Birthday, 傻瓜。
