Oh Boogie
Hello!Welcome to www.whispering-bliss.blogspot.com!
And here I find myself wondering why water always find it's way outward from it's source.
I sat in the rumbling bus beside my trusty friend today. I let my mind wander into the possible prospects of my life, should I have done certain things differently, or confronted the problems with a little more patience. Then perhaps I wouldn't be here today. On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't be letting these intangible probabilities get the better of me, before they undo my present and coerce me into getting nowhere.
While I slowly realize what the past should have taught me when they were present, I come to see that it is still not too late to grasp what I should have a long time ago. Before failure grips me with such intensity and ferocity that I cannot resist to implode to, I must muster the knowledge that was granted to me without my acceptance, and improvise. Otherwise, my own indifference in the past would result in my impending doom that will plague me with many years to come.
In utmost certainty, I think I shall tread with almost impeccable caution in the future, before someone has the opportunity to say, "Weiqi, you should now show the world the fear in your eyes."
It is the sad but ugly truth of Singapore youths today. Academia is the top priority that robs away the colourful life that most of us intend to have. The cruelty of trade-offs and opportunity costs that plague our lives to no end. For some of us, who are luckier, the discipline that's been instilled from early parts of their lives, seem to have the least of troubles on the outside. But the turmoils that boil inside, are always indescribably chaotic.
If you know what it feels like to be thrown into a pool of water without being taught how to swim. Try applying that feeling to your academia side of life, and you'll know how we feel. Ever struggling to stay afloat, to no end, as the shores of hope seem to be beyond the horizon. Even though we know it's there.
Yours is not to question why, yours is to do or die.
There appears to be another material desire in my life now. It's not a camera. It's an eBook reader.
After reading the reviews, the comparisons. I think I might settle down on a Sony PRS-600 Touch edition. That is if I am able to attain the financial capacity to afford one, and finally bring myself to the bank and apply for a debit card. This seems to be an impossible task for me to achieve. However, I think I really want to go through with this 'want'.
I've been reading for a long long time. Though I admit that as of late, I haven't been able to read as much as I would like to. With school projects and other commitments, I'm unable to sit myself infront of a good book and flip through it with each page scoured. The only reading I've been doing recently are the Singapore cases, and most of them have turned up to be disappointingly fruitless.
Oh the benefits that come with the eBook. No more having to care about the creases that might spoil the superfical appearance of my book. No more having to have my brothers come into my room and ask for a book that I have. If my house catches fire, I'd just lug my laptop, it's power adaptor, my Walkman, my important stuff that my significant other has given me, and my little eBook reader that holds the literary treasures that I indulge in whenever I can since I've dropped out from playing games very frequently.
You may ask why I might be willing to spend $600 on an electronic device that has little purpose except to bore the average Singaporean. I won't really call reading my passion anymore. But it would be great for me since my course demands a lot of reading. And this little handy device will go a long way to bring law cases around. And not to mention the titles I have not exactly searched high and low for, but have been keeping a lookout for. Hurray to the Greg Iles' titles and numerous John Grisham books. I'm going to have my way with you!
And here's to whichever author I have yet to discover.
Now that I think about it, these are the only two author whose titles I enjoy. With the exception of Tolkien, and The Kite Runner. And a few others.
Thank you baby for the jacket. It means a lot. Even though it's very simple, I like things simple. I don't particularly like things when they get complicated. I don't like to put my thoughts into things that deep anymore. Unless they're physics and chemistry. I still occasionally wonder why I'm where I am right now though.
Happy 1 year sweetie.
Sahail, thank you for the shirt. It's nice and a little corny. Revolution of M&Ms.
