ran into jin ying at BL MRT yday. (i thought she went back to Thailand for uni!)
chatted about almost everything during that short 30 minutes. and it's simply great.

but i firmly remembered this comment she made when i told her what i'm doing now.
' "wa, you are so different!" '

which is what everybody says to me.
but what really surprises me is the number of ' "i wished i did what you are doing." ' that i hear.
sigh. Singaporeans.



yet now i'm thinking, maybe it's time to be the same again.
haul myself back to school right now, get my degree (any major will do) like a normal ex-JC 19 year-old, graduate safely, and then settle into a safe job which provides an iron ricebowl. doen't matter if i don't like my life and what i do with it. just go through this safe safe road.

but that's possible mediocrity. dangerously possible.
and this mediocrity belongs to the cookie-cutter kind. the kind where people do it simply because it is what society thinks they should do.



no.
i seize control. i seize control of me.

anyway, take away those moments, and the bottomline, at the end of the day, is this-
i enjoy me. now. and beyond.
yes i'm certain i'll enjoy the future me.
and it's a big thank-you to the present.
