Anyway, it's a brand new year for me. I practically watched 2008 fly by me and I can already feel 2009 gearing up for yet another full-fledged flight. In other words, I think 2009 will pass by really fast.
Why do I say so? Well I suppose it's because I'm starting my 3-year degree course end of February and I have been hearing from my seniors that it's tough and really time-consuming. But the holidays are pretty long though, about 2 months though I think most probably during then I'd be interning at various advertising, PR and media companies. Fun, eh? (yeah, right.)
So back to what I wanted to say is that...I miss having time. But ironic thing is, when I have time I don't know what to do with it. It's something like I see free time as something so precious and irreplaceable that I don't want to waste time doing something I would regret. But the time I used to decide what is best to do, takes up most of my free time. Get what I mean? I think you would.
You know the other day I was out with some college friends and it suddenly occured to me that I never notice crows as much as I did before? Silly as it may sound, it is not. It just made me realise that as we grow older our ability or should I say willingness to notice things around us, declines. I think the reason to this is because we have so many other things to focus on like college or work.
I actually feel sad about this. I miss all the times when I was younger and would feel so excited when Christmas or Chinese New Year is coming. When we're older, we don't feel as excited as we did anymore. It's just sad, isn't it?
However, I don't think this is something we can change. It's a part of growing up. But I do think we can try to take notice of more things around us. What's the point of doing that, you ask? Hmm...I guess it will remind you that there are so many other things going on other than your busy schedule. Just take some time off and go get fascinated by things which once fascinated you when you were younger. It'll be worth the time.
