that line was from song for the rich (or sth along those lines) by tristan prettyman.i don't even know if i got the line right.
anyway it's been a great day for me and robyn and haitang everybody! we went to vivo,then took a long long long walk to east coast the lagoon for dinner when we came back to the east.the east is great! and i can't possibly describe everyth we did from 2-9 but it was our dinner talk with haitang that i took the most of back with me,and want to keep for the rest of my life.
we talked about the two most important things in secular life - relationships and academics.she inspired me so much.tonight i learnt,not that i didn't know it before,but really learnt that when you make decisions in life,choose a path,and don't look back.don't waste your time wondering what it should have,would have,could have.you may not fulfill your childhood dreams,earn the most money,be a really famous person,but as long as you live life without regrets with where you've been and are headed,life has been a success.and that's all that matters.
in relationships,first thing to worry about is compatibility.the person can be the most perfect person in the world,but if you're not compatible,nothing counts.next,as we know,is the character.how he deals with things at hand.he may not be the smartest person around,but if he has a good heart and good head to handle things,he's worth it.brains aren't everything.look aren't either.but if you get a good looker with good inner-beauty credentials to boot,you've hit the jackpot,baby.
these things aren't things i have never figured out before,or thought deeply about.but what really took me by the shoulders and shook me,was the way haitang brought these across.in the noisy midst of the lagoon,satay-smoke air and hazy moonlight,she sat there with the purpose of teaching us,young rebels,some things she'd learnt about life at age 26.she didn't expect us to listen,she wasn't preaching.but in her eyes i saw her belief in us,the energy she said filled her as she spent time with us feeling young and spunky again,and there and then i chose to remember everything she'd said.
she said she felt that i was going to be a powerful person,and if i really did get into law i'd emerge even more lethal than without it.it's hilarious how i keep hearing this 'you're going to be such a powerful person' thing.i heard it first from my classmate celeste in sec2,i heard it from aunty rose (racho's mum) not too soon after,i've heard it from people i never thought bothered about what i'd be in the future.i was pretty happy she loved my photography skills though haha! but it did set me thinking,that perhaps i should pursue that law thing,and leave my media for later.i really don't know,but God,you know what i need and i'm going to get it.
i'm so tired now i'm going to have to stop blogging.can't think anymore.oh i fixed my bike for free! and i totally love hanging out with swan,i realized.i mean i really really do.okay bye.
you're going to be such a powerful person, she said
you won't be needing
a man for a long long time.
