Edit: Realised it was Friday 13th.

there has been quite a few occasions when i wanted to pen my fleet of thoughts which came to mind at moments, just that i didn't have my (hopefully) faithful laptop with me, assuming the presence of internet, WiFi presumingly.

i think people who have pets and love them, are responsible people. i never fail to be impressed, especially guys, who takes the effort to look after these animals and caring for them. There is this passion in their eyes and personality which are simply seductive. Especially so when the pets are furry cute animals, eg hamsters and dogs/puppies.

Money. Simon Cowell said that it is a form of motivation for him; to get more money makes him happy. Blunt and egoistic. But driven. haha. I want to make lots of money in the future, very soon. Not for myself, but the people around me. Also an additional note, people who have them at their disposal digust me. Someone whose name i shall not mentioned here has the habit of being late for flights, without any unavoidable reason. What she does is, just buy another ticket for the next flight.

Since coming back, I had the chance to mingle and talk to people of different ages. It gives a sense of wholeness. I do miss mixing around with the different generations. In Cardiff, I mix mostly, if not only, with people of my age group. So it is refreshing to see how the younger generation has evolved, how their minds now work and the changes that have occured. Then, how the older generation lifestyle is doing, how they cope with their aging bodies and how they view themselves in this time of age and the growing society. You see, i've gone through this experience where an older person kept comparing the things that occured during his young adulthood with mine. And when i replied with some sorta like a suggestion, he immediately scorned at it, claiming that i am not old enough and don't know what 'life' is about. Initially, i was rather upset about it, but very quickly, i realised that it's these people whom i pity the most. Don't they realise that it's not always about how you lived your adulthood. Times have changed. And had it stayed stagnant, it would have meant that our new generation did not progress from ours. Just because I have lived 21 years of life doesn't mean that i am any better than the person who is 15. To people who might be like the 'him', take the initiative to talk, to share thoughts. Don't be stubborn and egoistic. You won't gain anything from it. Nobody likes to hear a criticism as an opening dialogue. Don't simply belittle others just to get a message across.

Experience vary from one to another. And i don't believe in belittling anyone. In other words, we can all learn from each other.

And of course, not forgetting the Malaysia Society! How it has developed and progressed (or not). Gosh. I tell you.

Been thinking about life quite a bit too. My age, my status..where i am at, what am i doing, and how am i going to be. Things ought to be planned out. Indeed the cliched phrase is that things don't always go as planned. Besides, planning might constrict you with the potential that might grow as time passes. Yet, I think I like to plan. Not to restrict or constrict, but to give an outline and a guideline. To have an aim and something to look forward to. Besides, whoever said plans can't change?

we are at our age only at this moment. so, we have to live that moment. if we don't live to how we want our lives to be, we will only have regrets. Don't just say what you hope to do. put them to plans. make them happen. Don't just blabber around about them. But at the same time, don't forget the people around you who care for you. Sometimes, people can be overly focused with their dreams or whatever their focus is on, and forget that there are those around who needs their love, or attention. Of course, they always want the best for you, and support you. But we are all humans. Because if not, they should be walking alone. Sometimes, sacrifices need to be made. It's not fair how some people have to go through sacrifices, when others can complement. But life's like that. You can make that sacrifice, and/or you have to choose. If you can't balance everything, then let go. Or do not commit. Not for yourself, but for the other one.
