Time 3.43pm
Venue: School of Accountancy
A Monday afternoon ... Finally, I am spending my time alone to enjoy the peacefulness of life. Sitting on benches and watching the cars driven passed ... I simply enjoy such moments. Doing nothing & letting the time passes by. How many people living in this stress-motivated community can afford to have such privilege to sit down & let the clock just ticked away?
Well, why am I all alone in school at this time? Why am I not doing any projects? Or not engaging in any project meetings since I am so super free? I purposely want to set this time aside to spend time with myself. I know it may sound stupid or ridiculous to many but this time is really a time that I truly treasured & valued.
I was chatting with one of my friend the other day. We were like talking about future. As we were chatting, she asked me a question that strikes me; she asked "how do you know that you will live till old age? Why are you so sure that you will pass the age of 30?" OMG! Initially I thought it was such a weird mentality to have such thought. But hey, come to think about it, she may be right. Why are you so sure that you will ripe an old age?
What I truly admired was her simplicity, she do not have much plans for her future. Instead, she only focus on now and do what she really enjoys doing NOW! Well, I simply cannot do that. So many times, I wish I could just follow my heart & pursue what I really really want. But, there are just so many responsibilities to bear & expectations of others to be met. I guessed I am just those unfortunate ones that cannot follow what my heart says & do what I really want. But nevertheless, I am contented with all the simple things in life.
Food for thought: Things in life are so unpredictable, so should we say what we should say & do what we should do ... Or, say what we want to say & do what we want to do?
