today when i was reading something, i was reminded of the time in singapore, when i used to walk from SA to the mrt and then from mrt back to hostel. i don't normally walk alone, but there are times when i will walk alone back. and these are the time when i will spend time talking to myself, planning my schedule .many many other things will run through my head during this short period of time. in this 15mins, i can very well plan ahead my schedule for the rest of the day and next day.
i wonder whether it is because i don't walk as much here in msia, or is it because i no longer fight for every single second that now i no longer utilise my time as how i used to last time. i remember the time in singapore, i dun even have time to sit down and think that i have to use that short journey from school to hostel to think and plan. every second counts. but now, sometimes, i will just sit and stone. i no longer walk as fast as i used to. i no longer eat as fast as i used to. i no longer fight for every second.
why?
i duno why. but i just know that, i wasted so much time, just like water from the running water tap. and sadly, there is no turning back, the water can't flow in reverse direction back to its source. time, just like water, is precious. but why do i take it so lightly now? where is the old self that used to care so much, even a second?
this makes me feel so empty.
and now, after eos3, i feel even emptier. feel like there is no goal. i kinda miss the pre-eos period, when i know i just have to fight and fight and fight. because i know i have this exam to pass.
some friend once sent me a msg during the exam period, which i think is pretty inspiring:
Somewhere in Africa, a gazelle wakes up at the break of dawn.
now this gazelle knows that it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Somewhere else in Africa, a lion wakes up at the break of dawn.
now this lion knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
it doesn't matter whether you're the lion or the gazelle,
What matters is when the sun rises, you'd better be running."
but sometimes, i wonder,day and night, study study study. but at the end of the day, i study because i know i have to. i just have to. honestly, i still couldn't find the reason and motivation behind it. fight fight fight, what for?
yet another emptiness.
and
everyday without you makes me feel even emptier. it sucks to feel this way. it sucks to prevent myself from getting closer to you, when deep down inside i know i want to. when can i do things that i really want? when can i be honest to you?
i really hope to get out of this emptiness.
anyway, happy birthday jeannie (17!) and xinying :):):)

i understand about emptiness... but the present me just chose to escape from that that problem, instead of trying to find what i'm really living for... i escape by keep telling myself to forget about emptiness, and life is always good as long as i am happy, i enjoy it, i do things that i won't regret... etc... i don't know if this is the right way but i am feeling ok with this... but i'm not sure if it's gonna last...
anywayz, i think that's why there is always a point where people pause and start to think what is the meaning of the life... what's the purpose etc... and i've chosen to think that, it's to enjoy...
祝福我们 =)
