.A lil' bit of adventure.


I've always thought of myself as being adventurous. I've traveled to the most outrageous places on earth, tasted the oddest delicacies and done many things nobody would've ever thought of doing. But yesterday, I got a taste of being anti-adventurous. I went out for a lil' bit of an adventure with my pal, Trevor a few days ago. He successfully made me do many things I have never done before- doing lil silly actions, going to places I've never dared to enter, walking halfway across the city etc etc. I can't believe that I actually hesitated doing all that although I've labeled myself as "adventurous" all this while. Maybe the time I spend on facebook and locking myself in the house has taken away the wild-crazy me. I still remember the time when I was so carefree I would try just about anything (with the exception of booze, drugs and the likes). But as I grew up, things changed... I changed. That's one of the reasons I have always been afraid of growing up. You'll never know who you are going to transform into. You can never see the future. Many plans might not work out. I'm glad I went out to the lil adventure with Trev. It kinda rejuvenated me in some ways. As I stood on top of KL tower, looking down at the beautiful KL city at the strike of midnight, I have made two resolutions: cut down on facebook and have more wild adventures! I gotta be me again!

.Sacrifices.

This Christmas season, we remember the greatest sacrifice ever made- God sending His only begotten Son to earth to die for each and everyone of us. Thinking of this sacrifice, it reminds me of the many sacrifices we have to make in order for us to continue with our lives. When we were young, everything was so simple. We dream of what we want, we aspire to achieve it and then, we try to work so hard to get it. But as we grow up, reality begins to hit. We realize that we don't always get what we wish for. And to make it worse, we have to make sacrifices for things that we have never planned for. Sometimes, I just wonder whether these sacrifices are worth it. Is it possible that in 50 years, we would look back and sigh with regret, "Why in the world have I wasted my life in doing that?" By then, reality has already hit big time. The grave would be calling out to u. No more turning back. Full stop.
