hello world. it's 3am in the morning, and i'm in the bus on the way home. it's a perfect night to emo, to excogitate, and to really think what i want.

it's going to be a year before i officially move on to the working society. we urban people seem to have this thinking: we want to earn as much money as possible, settle down and have a family, houses etc. people spoke to me about their dreams, materalistic ones of course. they believe they want to start work as soon as possible, and be extremely career minded.

why am i not one of those who has such thinkings? i believe that one should do the things he likes because sometimes by the time you reach 50, illnesses associated with ageing will find you, and you no longer have the energy to do the things you want. what's the point of earning so much money, only to spend on the medicine on our illnesses in later years.

is this a cycle that everyone has to go through? i would rather spend my time backpacking and understand the culture of people around the world. i want to lead an enriching life, not a luxurious one.

i read about an article regarding the top five regrets from peoples' deathbeds, and among them was actually regretting spending too much time at work and neglected their childrens' youth.

isn't it a very sad thing?

it's just some random food for thought..
