The fun I had & The fun I ended

I am turning a year older tomorrow. Time flies and I didn't even notice it. Not sure if that's good or bad. But looking back at what I had gone through, I must say it was not too bad... in fact not bad at all. Having had my fun times in my teen 10 - 20 years ago.... it was crazy. Sometimes I wonder where I got those energy from.  It was fun reminiscing and remembering all the good times we had when we were young, and laugh about it.

Gone are the days when you had nothing to worry about and what mattered was just fun, friends and nothing else. Went out at 11pm, party-party-party, then when this club closed, you hit for another one that was still opened until 4am and party for a little bit more before reaching home at 5am. Slept until noon.

Those times I don't remember the club being a dangerous place to be at. Clubbers those days were only there to dance, smoke, booze and have some fun with their friends. Very little involvement of drugs or illegal activities - unlike today where these kids pop E la, they pop ICE la, and I don't know what other dangerous party drugs they popped into their system. Yeah we did some naughty stuff once in a while, but it was nothing that warranted jail terms or anything close to it.

Funny that we could just dance and laugh and dance and laugh for hours and not felt tired. And the great thing was, we never took our boyfriends with us when we went clubbing. We left them behind and  our clubbing sessions were only permitted for friends and strictly friends. It was just us, the BFFs (plus Midzi, who was specially tasked to drive us and take care of us the girls). And we took care of each other.

Well, 10 years had passed. I have not partied like that for so long. Close was live bands and karaoke sessions (and we had to catch our breath like every 5 seconds) and stuff like that, and I get sleepy after 1 hour. We have other priorities and family and kids to spend our time with now. Work takes up most of our time and more often than not, we end our day at 11 pm daily. Well, I guess that's the cycle of life. Every peak must have its low. Every fun must have its ending.

Unlike 10 years ago, fun is no longer the first item in my list. But I'm glad I had my fun when I was supposed to have my fun.
