"Disney Fest" just started. Wasn't that bothered with the "mickey mice and donald ducks."

Met up with Jeremy and Dickson after their tennis game. Went Holland V for late dinner. Saw a couple of friends. Carol, ASh, Shanlyn and Nick. Went Breko after dinner to chill out. Amelia came to join us later. Nick too. Dicky look shagged after their so-called healthy day. Guess the work in the day + game in the evening thawed him away.

Did some catching up with Jeremy at his place(that's like 2am in the morning) after holland v + exchanging ideas n info. boy we came that far. Both our priorities changed, horizons broadened. it's easy to say, screw the law, go do your major instead. but with age comes maturity, and with them, responsibilities. when you're 15-18, you can afford to dream about saving the world. or changing it. but when you're 21-24, on top of grappling with bread and butter issues, it also becomes a case of not so much what you want to do, but what you should do. i won't feel at ease if after all the efforts of the last decade, i blew it all on an ideal. the ideal that i wanted to make a difference in others' lives.i won't take a career that's going to pay well and allow me to live well. it won't make sense.

As far as i am concerned, the stakes is high. The dare to be different. And i'm betting on the stakes. Youth. when i m 40 or 50, i don't want to stop, look back, and think, i screwed it up. that i could have had it all - all my dreams come true.
above mentioned is also^ adrian loo's post qoute plus xiaoqiang's thoughts & feelings.

Saw a picture in TODAY's newspaper on the cover page featuring a whale shark was tied with the rope at the tail. The whale shark with unknown reason was washed up to the shores in China. Fishermen tied it to attract tourist. Curse the chinese fishermen.

"may the fishermen strike by lightning even the sky is clear or no CAT 1 status."
