Leaving the broad path

I've got many things to write, dunno where to begin.

Nicole is going to NIE next January. It's the first time I realised how all those people who stayed back a year, in JC or uni or whatever, how it felt to be them. Compared to people who went immediately into teaching aft school, I'm 2 years late. When I go into NIE I'll be 2 years older than most of the pple, fresh out of sch. It feels kinda weird, but not as tho I mind. Just weird. I believe it's God's timing for me, wouldn't want to change even if I could. But still, it feels ... weird. I've always followed the S'pore system along the "straight and narrow" all my days, feels weird to be different, like dun belong to this broad category together with thousands of others, anymore. No more a certain fixed age means you are doing a particular thing.
