1700 HRS APRIL 24TH 2007

Isn't it funny,

how everybody

seems to know

how I should live my life,

except myself.

I like to do things

my way,

I like to think things

my way,

I rather be proven wrong

and learn a hard lesson,

than prove others right

and not even try.

I believe I have

a personal duty in life

to fulfill.

To be a better man

than what I would

otherwise be.

The possibility

of achieving a dream,

makes living worthwhile.

I want to reach

for the furthest star,

but also know,

that simple things in life,

are a blessing

and a miracle,

it delights me

to eat my favourite

char kway teow.

I embrace

my own humanity.

I acknowledge

my emotions.

When I am sad,

I want to immerse myself

completely

in misery.

Because misery

is human.

But like everything else

I have to detach

at some point,

and be useful again

to the world

around me.

This world does not stop

spinning for me,

when I'm down.

There are still lots of things

to be done,

lots of things to learn,

lots of things

to be happy about
