everybody's changing, have you?
How's everyone? Had a good Christmas? Sorry I went missing for a while - been having late nights and work's been busy as well. I'm sure all of you missed me as much as I've missed you. Which is not much actually.. ha!
Just as well that it's another short week before we bid farewell to the year. Yeah, the holidays are coming fast and furious. Enjoy them while they last.
So have you taken a moment to ponder the year that has almost passed? How's work coming along? Have you taken a step or two up the ladder? Did you get so caught up in the race that you've neglected your family and friends? Have you found time for the things you wanted to do? Or maybe you've found new love, or even gotten married? If you're into new year resolutions, have you achieved what you set out to do a year ago? Do you even remember them?
For me, everything's just fine. In fact, I would say that certain aspects like social life, personal development and health are going good. Found new interests, new friends, as well as old ones. The only worry's that the job seems to be going stagnant. Oh, how I hate the idea of staying stagnant!
But then, one shouldn't be too obsessed with making money, non? Some subscribe to the notion of career first, career everything, and leave the rest to later. But I can't! Not now at least. Yup, I'll rather leave my passion for other things, and enjoy life while I can. After all, what's the point of all the dosh if by then you're too old to do the things you should've done while you were young? Like late night mahjong, tennis with your kakis, cheonging and drinking, traveling, climbing mountains, running (half) marathons. By the time you're forty or fifty, you might not even fancy such activities anymore. That sucks man, just thinking of it.
I'll leave you with a platinum member of my playlist. Since first hearing it last year, it's grown on me and till now I've not gotten sick of it despite the perpetual repeat. The message is clear: Don't lose yourself trying to stay in the game!
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Still prefer somewhere only we know....
has everyone changed?
sometimes, we just go with the flow, and we "grow" with it.. but have we really changed??
there were times, the people around me, or even myself, will announce "i have changed.. i am no longer the same old me.." but have we really changed??
sometimes, we just came to realise something and start/stop doing it.. or we started to do something out of the norm thinking that it is the changes that made us do it. but in real fact, it is something we have always wanted to do but we didn't realise it.. it is part if our inner self that has not crawl out of our shells..
am i confusing you?? sorry if i did.. it juz a thought..
