Today I went for a reunion with my primary school friends. Only to realise how much we have all grown up now. We are not who we were. We are who we are now.
And well I felt a sense of awkwardness just now. And a bit of ignored. But well I guess I can't blame it on them to just simply talk to me. I felt this "distance" between us. They were a clique, I was not. It felt like I'm not a part of them. Even though we were once in the same class.
Even though we were once playing and laughing together.
Perhaps it's the difference of cultures we lived in. Or the different ways we were being brought up. Ultimately, the difference in place we spent this eight years up. I am in Singapore, they are here. So ultimately the way they live their lives are different.
I can't totally blame them.
I guess I'll just have to accept the fact that this is the disadvantage of being a foreign student. To emphasise. being a foreign student since young but anyway. I gotta live with it. No choice fretting over it abd blaming one another, including myself.
I just hope that we can still meet up in the future and that we can still contact together. I don't want to put our relationship at stake so yeah.
I'll just hope.

Freedom
Today, I watched "The Best Job In The World" on Natgeo travel channel. It was a fantastic show about how this guy (Ben) got the so called best job in the world as a caretaker of the great barrier reef. All he had to do was to stay on a resort and blog about the barrier reef for a period of time. Well I didn't know all the details but that's about it.
I would really really love to do that too. I can't imagine the feeling of freedom that I will have as I do this job. And the fact that I really love blogging, it's realy awesome isn't it.
And I just think for a moment. And I think, living a life without seeing the world is one of the biggest regret that one could have. I also wish that before I die, I want to let my eyes see the sights of the world, my ears to hear the voice of the world, and myself to be immersed in the culture of other countries.
It's really wonderful, the world that is. And it would be such a waste if one (if given the chance) doesn't see and feel it.
And I believe, everyone has the chance and the opportunity to see the world. Perhaps it's their fate and willingness to do so.
