Change is inevitable. Neccessity is the mother of changes.
Heard so much changes today, saw so much changes today.......
Change #1: Sadly, yes, saw one of my olden times secondary school friend lighting up a cigarette in front of Simei MRT station today. He looked sad while puffing it, seems like he is in a world of its own. Why? Why did he picked up such a habit? Told one of my best olden times secondary school friend about it and her reply was like, "oh, and so?" hmm......seems that she experience this kind changes frequently, friends picking up smoking. But for me, I am still in a shocked state. Wonder what happened.
Change #2: My workplace is going to move to a new building. Yes, it is nothing new. But, the changes that encompass the whole move is rather overwhelming. From the way things are done to the way we should be dressed, everything is going to be changed. New people are coming in at the speed of light and old people are leaving as well. There is no time for celebration or farewell. We just have to witness all these and live with it. Cos, change is rapid.
Change #3: We are facing an overload. The workload actually increased 3 folds year-on-year. Sat down and thought of new ways to tackle this burgeoning problem. I realised that we lack something, manpower. But, upper ground insist we need a change and that change is more reasonable. Felt that saturation point is reaching real soon. Yes, very soon.
Change #4: Got a new workmate from Sydney. Talked a little. He was busy doing his work. So surprised to see someone hard at work on the first day!! hmm....just not used to seeing a new person and the old ones are.....gone.
Change #5: I remembered the weather was bright and sunny today. It turned dull in the late afternoons, and the whole sky was dark by evening. Then, it started to drizzle and ended up with rain. It was so dramatic, saw many people, braved throught the rain. They were not prepared. It was too sudden.
Change #6: Called my friend today. Thought she sounded cold. hmm......realised that I have not called her for like, eh....2 years! She found the call very sudden, I thought it was too sudden too! hahaha....just wanted to say something, but the whole conversation was so, short and mundane. Change has occured, this time, due to time......
Change #7: Yes, I am going to NUS. No more HKU, CUHK, Moscow U, Seoul U, Tokyo U, or whatever. If i raised that idea one more time, can someone please slap me.
Well, I guess, I just have to accept rapid changes with a much more open mind, and try to mend fences. Maybe my friends are right, I am like totally oblivious to the real world. All I see, is what I want to see, and all I hear, is what I want to hear. Is not total, is not totally real.
Maybe, I am not ready for the totally real world. I know I have not changed much since Secondary One (quote from another friend)......
