HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILDA!! =)
Wow, i've known this crazy klutz for 8 years now! really amazing.... all the ups and downs we went thru.... haha hilda, i've said my deepest feelings in the sms alr, so shan't elaborate....
still in school now. waiting for business law tutorial. i'm freezing to death in the library. Brrrrrrrr.... All i can say ever school started: busy, busy and more busy. haha
But, despite the busy schedule i have, and the frustrations i fall into once in a while, i do believe that i'm happy. i don't want my youth to go to waste, rotting away half my time at home, and just 'indulge' in a pile of books and lecture notes studying my brains away. If i really do, i would have dieded.... coz i'm such an active person.
I know that when i grow old, i will look back at my life and youthful days, knowing that i accomplished much more than i would ever have. So what if exam grades turn out bad? so what if i ever get a good job that pay loads, but i DON'T enjoy it? life is not about exam grades. it's not about earning truckloads of money. of course, who doesn't want a never-ending flow of cash? i know i do.... but if that flow of cash only comes with short-term material happiness, i rather not have it. life is really about living it to the fullest.... knowing that you have wonderful friends (like hilda and the sec sch clique, like the jie-meis!!, like my JC friends), knowing that God is always with you, knowing that u enjoy doing the things you do, knowing that you are contented with what you have.
Modernisation and globalisation has caused all these small little contentments to disappear. it has caused people to be materialistic and unhappy at the same time. such a pity. but i shall continue to live in this little unpolluted world.... at least for now.... =)
- Happy Birthday to a dear friend
