One of the many things i lost along the way
Friday, July 10, 2009
During the good old days where the world wasnt as complicated, or maybe at then was i unable to comprehend wat was happening within my narrow sight.
At then, things were simpler, tasks were easier to complete, aims were not that far-fetched and destinations were not that daunting.
Discipline to save was one virtue i was proud to own then, clothed daily in my short sleeved shirt and dark blue shorts, i spent my daily allowance carefully, only on necessities and savoring the rest. I didnt know how but i was able to save, in fact i managed saved up $1000 only to blow it on a big ass pioneer home theater hi-fi set that now sits quietly in my mum's bedroom used for the occasional Theresa Teng and hokkien oldies.
Fast-forward 10 years, things weren much different just that they appeared in another appearance and name. i still get my daily allowance just that its now called income, i still need to pay for food and drinks instead of 1 dollar tuck shop food, i occasionally get to sit on a back-rested chair with waiters on tow. instead of erasers, ice-cream sticks and 2 dollar for 30min nintendo games, toys are called motorbike, laptop and equities.
Over the years, things will still be things, just cloaked in other forms, but me may not be me.
Maybe this is just one of the many things i lost along the way.
