Yes, the whole group of my really close friends turns 50 with me this year. To reward ourselves, the spouses have planned for a long weekend vacation overseas where the 10 of us will eat, drink and party like there is no tomorrow, without the kids 🙂 We have all known each other since our Uni days and have shared 29 years of friendship. So many memories and experiences to share as we played and worked hard during our undergrad days. Then onwards to the corporate world, supporting each other during tough times, being best men as we got married and watching our kids grow over the years from babies to young adults.
Is 50 the new 30? I certainly like to think so. We are all so mindful of our health nowadays, doing regular medical checkups and watching our diets. This is so unlike our parents’ generation, where exercising and staying fit wasn’t even in their game plan. Life expectancy is much longer now and it is very common to see 80-year-olds still enjoying an active senior lifestyle. I still feel very young at heart, even though I am mindful that physically, my body is much less agile than before. Exciting times ahead!
