Getting What You Wish For..What's Next?

Sometimes in life, we wish so hard for something...When we finally get it, what's next? But not for everything in life of course..

I wanted my exams to finish soon because i have so much to do. When it's finally over, i forgot what i wanted to do. Blank. Double blank.

I sat in front of the computer for the past few days, downloading songs non stop for hours without realising the clock was ticking away. Songs that i used to love so much, forgotten as years passed by. It felt so good to be able to hear it again. It also felt so good that i was able to sit in front of the computer to chat, to play games and to surf away without worrying when is the next assignment's due date. No guilt. Practising my pieces without time limit. Singing karaoke without guilt. Shopping and wasting time in Times Square. Just filling up the time of the day. Lazy to blog when i have the free time. Too busy blogging when i have so little time to spare.

I wanted the semester to end fast. Now it has ended. Somehow I miss it. People come and go in your life really fast. This process has speed up for me in the university. One semester equals to four months in Monash but equals to several years for me. The experience is too rich, relationships happens so soon, people click and depart so quickly as well as so much memories has been formed in just four months. Strange but wonderful :D. To those whose path have crossed mine, its been wonderful knowing you and i really appreaciate you.

I wanted to go home so much. So now i am home. What's next? Feeling a lil' bored now. I think what makes Taiping interesting is your family, old friends, memories, childhood and the beauty as well as serenity of this place. Without all these, there is nothing here. Misty hills and trees and moss, haven't seen that for a month already. Nothing has changed much when i took a cab home just now. As we grow older, the less familiar faces can be seen in this town. Back in school, we used to joke about how we would end up in one of those coffee shops or lake gardens in the morning as we yak the rest of our life away when we are old.Most of them have gone to the city or abroad. I wonder if i would see those faces again when i am 70.

We think too much sometimes that we forget to enjoy the present. We focus too much on the ugly side of life that we felt that we are the unluckiest human on earth. There got to be some good and positive bit in the most horrible situation you ever experience. You just have to look closely. The simplest and wonderful things in life are just in front of you. We overlook it because we keep wishing for more and more. We are suffering inside because we amplified the sad side. When we have nothing to wish for anymore, we just go blank when we get what we want. So, keep in mind:

'When one door closes, another door will be open'
