a new month, and hopefully a better take on life.

hah! i'm not that peotic lar. shit, in fact i can't write poems if my life depended on it. i don't know what to write. actually, the fact that i blog over here more than just once a week is a big achievement. in my real journal [ie, the one you actually write in a book?] have entries like once a month? or sometimes once every 2/3 months. i used to write everyday. that's because i was in school, everyday, and everytime there was something exciting to talk about. now, i only go to college 3 times a week. most ppl there aren't exactly my kind, if you know what i mean.

well, if you don't, then lemme explain.

i get along with them fine, but there's something missing. maybe it's the fact that we grew up in different lifestyles. i still keep in touch with some of my ex-school mates, and that's because we're somewhat inclined with each other. there's this certain wave that goes around. maybe because we've all gone to the same primary schools, secondary schools. had the same sort of experiences. sounds boring? well, it isnt... now... because everyone one of us have gone different ways. coincidently, none of us are even in the same college whether over here or overseas. in fact no two of us are doing the same course/career line.

there's: an environmental engineer, graphics designer [who is currently contemplating on becoming a pilot after he finishes], one doing some line in accounts [finance], doctor, what's-the-word engineer [dealing with automobiles], law [i think] and then there's me. me doing IT.

everyone else has some high flying sounding careers eh? engineers & doctors... pilots... quite interesting i suppose. i'm not regretting what i'm doing. in fact i'm quite happy/glad i did it. i luv computers [but that does not make me a computer nerd kay?] i was once accused of being one by some taxi driver in s'pore. sheesh... we were chatting [my cuz, him & i] as we were on our way to the s'pore indoor stadium for the rhcp concert last december. so he asked if we were working or studying.

told him i was doing IT and you know what he said?? "so, that means you're a nerd lar!!" what the.... my cuz was trying his best to hold in his laughter as i tried to defend myself. i was like "not all those studying computers are nerds lar.. some can be quite happening" he obviously disagreed with me. then i further pointed out another fact of how we so-called computer students ain't nerds. "if i was a nerd, would be going to see rhcp in concert tonight???" there... good point right??!! well, no. he further put me disbelief at how narrow minded some ppl could be [he could be just pulling me leg lar for all i know] "well, you're taking a break lar. out of 365 days in a year can lar you spend one day to relax. the rest of the year study."

sheesh!!!

well, that's just one of those stories i remembered. many others out there, but of course.. i'll only tell them if it's related to some issue i was talking about. speaking of which... how did i get to this story? ;)
