ThE RaT rAcE...

hey! prom was quite fun... took like nearly 100 photos... imagine my eyes had to be wide open even as the daggers of blinding flash pierced thru them! but there's no other ways to immortalize these 2 yrs of memories that I had shared with so many other frens in hcjc... after that, i went mich's house to havoc with yanfang, yaying and jane... was like eating cup noodles at 5am! slept like a log after tat... mich's frenly maid, sarah, cooked those delicious laksa for us for lunch! very hot though... and her brother and his galfren were very entertaining, kept running around together...haha well i guess it had been a really nice way to end prom :) glad i din go clubbing... can't believe these 2 yrs have passed by just like tat... haiz... getting old :p

anyway, at this crossroad in life, it is high time to reflect on what i shall do with my life ahead. most pple i know are aiming for scholarships and overseas studies, u know, trying to get to the front of the rat race... but yesterday i read the saturday section of the newspapers, and i found it to be so thought provoking and inspiring... in this dog-eat-dog world, there're pple who gave up those 'dream' jobs which they earned like at least $150000 a yr, in exchange for social services, arts and other more relaxing job. i was quite amazed, that money is not the priority in this world. there's something more impt in their heart-- passion... i felt sincerely touched... but then again, maybe this is a one way street kinda thing, i gotta go thru the rat race, before i get tired and opt out... no matter what, i know even as i warm up and prepare myself for the commencement of the rat race, even as i know this is the right way to go, even as i know this is expected of me, i'd rather go and help pple around me and have more time with my family. but man, this is not possible... maybe after i get tired of the rat race... practicality has to come before passion for now
