hooey is in one of her moods again.
breezy morning brought after a rain shower.Add in the tranquil and rare ocassion of having the whole house to myself. Hearing nothing except for the fan and the vehicles passing my house. It's really cool. One of those mornings where u can do just about anything, and i chose friendstering. Now now, that doesn seem a hip option dont ya think? Or so, i felt. Used to think that's what people with nothing to do DO (if u noe what i mean). Checking or perhaps snooping on friends' lives. Scrutinizing for any new pictures, which might provide clues to their er hmm, relationship status ( COMEON, ADMIT IT if ur' one of those... iAM!) haha. That's what friends are for eh? i mean friendster.
Nah, back to the point, i was friendstering... yes, partly becos i'm free and that there' aint many websites that pretty much interest me. Used to go the writers' corner in msn group but eversince they kinda changed their contents and layout, so has my interest. It's actually quite a fruitful session to go friendstering once in a while. I'm not too sure how many of u experienced this, but personally everytime i browsed ( overview) of my friends' profile, i cant help but wonder how people have changed( in other words, comparing theirs to mine), more so for those who went overseas. Some of these friends dated back to primary school when dorky specs was a neccesity fashion if you're myopic and haircuts were somewhat standardized to a certain code of discipline. And now, after a decade or more (gosh, there's something with me and passing time), we have changed! Some drastically more than others. As we more or less start embarking on the next phase of our lives, i ponder how we will be like in another decade or so. So far, while scanning, i am proud to know, that i have laywers, doctors to be, operation analysts, model, many engineers, accountants, director!, in my friendster list. Imagine that? Tho we might not be close and chummy and comeon, how many on our friendster list do we often meet up. No, put it this way, how many friends on the list have u seen in the last year?
i'm not too sure what point i'm driving at. Afterall, it's a quiet monday morning, erm not so quiet anymore now that i suddenly hear people cutting grasses. i believe the last time i heard that was in NTU hall 14 while i was trying to catch a snooze! SOrry, back to the point... of no point. It's very interesting to note, how we all started on the same platform, same basic primary education and how, different paths and decision along the way led us to who we become. Read a poem off bill watterson's Calvin and HObbes treasury, which mentioned something that, how we often dont realize how we got to our present situation, and how many many years ago, that one decision or baby step u took lead u to many more turns and decisions which.. brought u to who and where u are today. That lit step might seem insignificant then;but if not for that little step there will not be many more. Enlightening some may feel, indeed, i was inspired for like 10 mins. Haha, when i tot, how fragile and seemingly intricate life might seem. I mean, it's easy to say "heck it, just take the first step... if u worry so much, u will never get anywhere" , but then again a little voice might say "one first step, one wrong step. Will u have chance to return or start from the begining, or do u just take where that step leads u?"
Maybe it's the fear of a first job. A first step. A baby step. One will not know where one will go from here. I tell myself to approach life and things as they come with an open mind. Open to judgement, open to alternatives.HAha, but the very fact, that one is so open that the precarious coexistance of the two extreme tots just overwhelms hooey.
hooeyphooey. I do deserve this nick.=)
