A few days back in Singapore and I’m not missing SH that much already.
In fact, I find myself weird ‘cos to the extent that I don’t miss coming back home neither do I miss anything about Singapore, I think it’s rather scary. Perhaps 2 weeks was too short for me or perhaps I just wanna escape from everything in Singapore. Work, School and the need to worry about my future, and to a small extent, you. Talking on msn to you would suffice and I didn’t have the urgh to want to see you or anything, relative to what I felt in Spore.Guess that is the power of travelling man hahaha.
I miss…
- bathing late in the night and waiting for my hair to dry while sitting under the heater and chatting over MSN
- the action-packed morning where we have to put our lives on the line(okay exxagerating, the traffic ain’t that bad LOL) to cross the road, where motorcycles have no respect for red light
- the 手抓饼 wrapped with my favourite egg and sausage *loves*
- rubbing furiously against the heatpack to keep our hands warm|
- sleeping and snoring in class(oops I should be guilty abt it huh haha)
- tuning in to the gossipy channels about broken marriages
- yingxu’s classic actions such as slotting in the hotel card into the Metro line card reader LOL
- qisheng’s gaying around with jon fry
- jon fry’s suaning here and there
- laughing here and there like there’s no tmr
and almost everything else there except for the fact that the locals spit almost everywhere(as long as they can find an adjacent corner LOL)
For some odd random reason, I started to think about what I want to achieve in life. All the while what I have been doing was just to go with the flow and do what I should be doing. I believe there is more to life than doing what I should do. Shouldn’t it be doing what I want to do? Hence, I thought that there needs to be a meaning in life. It is passion and a goal in life that keeps us going, if not we would be just like any other one. I am quite sure that when asked what they want to do in life or what’s their goal in life, most would be stumped. Simply because we just do what we have been taught to do w/o giving much thought to what we really want to achieve in life.
Coming this year, although its a tad too late, my new year resolution would be to discover my aim in life. Better late than never. And as of now, I realised that 别人的快乐是我的幸福. This thought just struck me suddenly and I was quite surprised I even took the time to seriously think about it. Like come on, I have been enjoying life. Life has been all about me, myself and I. Isn’t it time to share some of the joy with others? Perhaps its the sense of gratification that I feel when I enable them to achieve smth. Oh but still, my aim in life is still yet to be known.
When I watched the movie Eat, Pray, Love, I thought that lady was mad to give up that man she loved just because her balance in life is no longer there. When I think of it now, I realise that I had underestimated the importance of that balance. It’s similar to the aim in life. Losing the aim in life makes life a living for the sake of it. And so, I finally understood why she was so hesitant to accept him. Oh well, she did accept him in the end, which I thought was quite weird now that I think of it haha.
