one month

one month and my life will never be the same again

but really, is it a good change?
i think so
i hope so...

okay. current temperature is about 19 degrees. there are moderately strong winds blowing outside my 46th floor window. yesterday i thought it would rain, but it seemed as if the sky changed it's mind halfway, and decided to drop a few degrees instead. whee.

imagine minus 19 degrees....
must be real hard to breathe where you are kylie!

hmmm. inspiration.
yesterday this speaker came to my school and talked about travelling around the world, and how she liked to travel, cause it seemed as if every place she went to gave her a lesson, and that every new day was a different class, so that at the end of her holiday it would be like she had taken a masters course or something. one time she met this guy while she was in india and he had actually hitchhiked all the way from malaysia. he had run out of money while he was there, yet he wanted to go home, so by playing his guitar to get some money or telling people his story so they might help him, he half hitchhiked, half walked all the way back to .... ukraine i think. and i was just like wow. that's so cool. and the guy told her that, well, anything is possible if you really want it, and try with all your might to get it. so this speaker, when she went to mexico, her next "holiday" destination, she decided to see if she could live there. as in find a job and everything and actually live there for quite some time. it was a very nice country and she wanted to stay a bit longer. so she went and asked around at the coffee shops and got a job, but she had to translate her CV into spanish first though. so, with 20 hk dollars everyday (about sg$5), and a few words of spanish, she managed to survive there for 3 months. and in those 3 months, she learnt so much ... life experience, and it was really priceless.

so, she said, there's so much out there waiting for us to see, and not going to see it is such a waste, which is why she loves to travel. being concerned with only our own lives in whatever country, whatever city makes us miss out on so much more.

so, it sort of fits into what i was saying earlier. life can be wonderful, if you make it so. and at the end of your life, if you can look back and think, yep, that's what i want and all i want, well, it's one of the most blessed things that could happen, don't you think? so here i am, at the beginning of a journey, a journey that just changed, and i have to keep going and see what it's like. and i just hope that, at the end of it all, it would have been worth it, and i could look back and say that that time was spent well.

peace
suddenly it seems so peaceful here.
