where the path leads

i have gotten myself three new books to read and i have always wondered about the price tags that they carry with them. i was about to walk away with the forth book when i realised it's better that i do not exchange ninety dollars worth of good read in one purchase. i have always dreamt of my own home with a classic dark wooden bookshelve that is decorated with interesting covers of books that i have read.

when the moon is smiling and the night sky is adorned with a generous sprinkle of stars that twinkle like the shimmering of water in the moonlight when a breeze dances by, i will love to fly over the polar cap and gaze out of the window to take in the sight of the peace and tranquility. and what better way to do that then on that singapore airlines flight to new york direct.

i have seen the sky littered with stars on a clear night on my flight back to singapore and the moon that hangs above a blanket of clouds, round yet not a full circle. one day i shall see with these eyes of mine the beauty of the night sky.

i was on my way to the airport yesterday when my neighbour came home and asked me what i am doing now. waiting for enlistment. i was chatting on msn with my friend and the conversation touched about furture studies. my neighbour asked whether i was going to further my studies and my friend asked if i ever thought about taking a general business management degree. well i have decided that i will take a degree with a specialisation in the tourism industry for i know that that's what i wanna do and work for.

some will say how the fck do i know that i will love working in the tourism industry for i have yet to try other kinds of job in other sectors. there's no reason or answer for some questions, i just know, i just know that i will not love those other career paths. i know my goals well and i know what i wanna do in life, i knew and i have decided all these since the day i made up my mind that i wanna get a diploma instead of mugging my way to some british advance level cert.

sometimes i find myself really bizarre, i believe that to experience is better than otherwise even though i may get hurt at some point. i live and measure my life not by time but by experiences and the memories i have gained be it happy or sad. i do not pretend to like something and in a certain way i am a selfish brat. although it offends people i do not believe in burning incense to the dead and neither do i rely on the heavens to answer my prayers as the need to have a belief is for the purpose of having hope. and hope is something that gives strength but i know whatever may come i must be prepared.
