The next time I go up to Genting, I will be 21. That's the promise I made myself. It's really not much fun not being able to play in the casino. Come on! It's the main attraction there. I feel caught in between. I am too old for those kiddy rides and arcade games, yet too young for casino. Can't they have something for people of my age group to play there? Despite this, I enjoyed my holiday. Haven't had one in a long time. Although it wasn't an ideal one, it's good enough, for the moment. The thing I enjoyed most, as usual, soaking in a hot tub of water, listening to music and dreaming away. I didn't realise the water was so hot until I started perspiring. It also occured to me then that my skin is getting wrinkly. Time to get up! That sort of feeling was simply heavenly. Can you imagine, it was perfect even in that sort of environment. Imagine if the environment was as perfect. I was like in another world, a world where all that I dreamed of came true, and the music was a tribute to all my achievements. How satisfying.
It really was a nice, peaceful holiday. It reminded me of another thing. Events, no matter how long or short, how relaxing or how tough, will pass by in a blink of an eye. I may be complaining non-stop of NS now, but 1 year from now, I might be missing it like crazy. Missing the relaxed pace of life and the many friends living together under one roof. A week of holiday passed by just like that, 2 years of NS will soon pass by in the same way. Yes it will.
When I was in the car, I was listening to my relatives talking about work. Surprisingly, I found it quite fascinating. I don't know why but I am looking forward to being a professional. One, I would be really independant then, creating my own lifestyle. Two, I would be at the same wavelength as the adults. It will still be a long wait before I attain that sort of status, but I just can't stop thinking about it now.
I was looking at the clouds in the car a few days back. And I wondered what would I be like if I were living in the cavemen era. As a person with zero knowledge of science, what sort of feelings would I have when I see those fluffy white stuff floating up in the vast blue space. How about the big round white ball with numerous sparkling dots with it at night. Not to mention the rapid hammering of small transparent substances on my body, when sudden flashes of light appeared in the sky, and the whole world darkened. I would be terrified by all these strange happenings and begin fearing for my life, if I even knew what life was. Mankind have come a long way. And I am grateful to know what is lightning and rain.
Oceans and skies... watch me dReAm!!!
And to all my friends who are not in the best of moods, cheer up. Being sad is not what we are created for.
