i wrote my first essay in 4 years

i went to angkor wat

...


i'll update the list if there's anything else i can rmb.


in any case, its really been a crazy year. so many things happened, and so many things changed. new friends, new management, new environment, new experiences. not all good. or not up to my expectations

i guess that's the key issue.

kinda wish i was back in sec school. life was a whole lot more simpler then. go to school. put up with teacher's crap for an hour or so before the next teacher comes in and gives you more crap. end school. talk crap with your friends. go home. put up with parent's crap. repeat.

as you get older, politics come in. the people around you get more, how should i put it? protective of their own territory? annoy them and things happen. you realise that whatever you do has its own repercussions, whether or not you intended it that way. in other words, karma.

and then you start to see other people's net worth. of course this happens vice versa. you hang out with people that are useful to you. simlarly, people hang out with you because you are useful to them. and useful covers a lot of ground - studies, money, popularity, ego, skills, inferiority complex, affairs of the heart etc.

add that with the finance issue, and the boyfriend crap.

finally top it off with your own crap - largely involving any combination and permutation of the seven deadly sins and your own personal devil and angel on either side of your shoulder.

voila.

this is the life of a young adult. so much for the freedom you envisioned when you were a kid.

everything comes with a price. and the price for the freedom to make your own decisions is reponsibility. and that sucks.


dunno why i'm so cynical now. might be the end of the year thing. or the blardy xmas/cny songs.

gahhhh
