hey folks.
it's me again.
my posts are getting more and more regular ehs.
*laughs*


anyway,
when i was having trouble sleeping yesterday night,
i recalled how things were when i first stepped into college.
still a freshman then,
the start of a college life was a whole new experience for me.
memories of things that happened were still fresh in my mind,
as if it just happened days or maybe weeks before.



now im coming to the end of my college life,
in about another 6 months time.
fast?
a year had just passed like that.




Time and tide waits for no man.
One of the many cliché quotations that have been used through the decades.
simple, yet so true.
and i guess,
it's because of the fact that it's so true,
everything is in such a fast pace nowadays.
look around you people.
especially every morning.
how many do you see brushing past you in a haste?
how many have you seen busy talking on the phone even in the midst of meals and breaks?
important as it may be,
but people, we should slow down our clock.
in this pace,
you guys would have been missing out all the fun, laughter and all the little things in life!
try this.
from this day onwards,
if you see yourself rushing again,
working yourself through the day and let each day pass by just as it is,
slow down,
take a deep breath,
and take a look around you.
look at that man who's waiting for the train just like you are, yet constantly looking at his watch and drips of sweat down his face.
look at that man smoking near the bus stop, huffing and puffing every now and then, walking to and fro as he waits for the bus.
then, look at the kid who has his book out, reading as he sits in the train, with a wide smile on his face, fascinated by the book that engaged him.
look at the group/pairs who are chatting with each other merrily, with sounds of laughter heard every now and then.
little things happen in our life.
little it may seem,
but the joy and peace it brings is unmeasurable.
appreciate them,
you'll find yourself in a whole new world.
Cheers(:
