Turning 30 – The Big 3-0

Nov 2008

Yes. I turned 30 today! The big number 3-0 maybe a scary number for some women, but for me, I can tell you that I didn’t bat an eyelid about turning 30. In fact, I am quite excited about it!

I truely agreed that as a woman, you are the most beautiful in your early 30s, that you are at some sort of peace with where you are in life and it shows in many ways. You are grown from that 20 year old to be a little wiser, and you have more wisdom which is evident in the way you carry yourself and appear to others. It’s also about meeting expectations, whether yours or others. Whether you should be settle down, have a great career, a family, a morgage or some savings in your bank. It’s a reflection of age. It makes you look back and think about what you have accomplished in life.

My view on life were the same and still are. I cherish the moment and the important things such as my family and my friends. I enjoy the simple pleasures of eating and drinking, traveling around and glued in front of my laptop. I appeared on tv live, I went to performed in many places, I won awards in competitions, I work as an expat overseas, stay in several countries and had some amazing experiences, launched some online businesses and happily married. I learned about human nature by seeing it up close, raw and undiluted. I learned about preservance. I learned about feelings. I learned about overcoming obstacles and have a whole future ahead of me. I learned about truely appreciate good things in life. I learned that dreams can come true, if you believe it. I think if I could see myself now at 18, I would be pretty proud of how far I have come.

On the other hand, I know that there’s still so much in life to try, learn and experience! So much to do! So much to see! Before you know it … decades pass by!!

My name is Bibi Liew and I'm a third-generation oversea Chinese. I'm born on the 3rd of November and that makes me a typical Scorpio. I stayed in several countries and ended up in Shanghai for reasons that are still not entirely clear to myself... I came to China and work as an Expatriate in 2004. I am an Interior Architect and design Hotels and Club Houses in many Cities in China. Ron and I will relocate to Nanchang in March 2010 and I'll be a WAHM!
