How far have we fallen?
I used to know someone. Someone who had dreams. Not very big dreams. But at least his dreams were good, noble and not entirely selfish. He had good aims, and a simple ambition. He hoped to use his ambitions to prosper others around him, to speak out for those who can't. And for that, he worked hard.
He doesn't seem to be around anymore. Instead, now I know someone who has bigger dreams. But not very noble. They are big dreams, and very ambitious ones. He seeks to prosper himself, and gratify his own desires. He looks to use others around him, to help accomplish his dreams. And for that, he worked hard too.
How far have we fallen?
Yesterday was really really long. Got up in the morning to meet the rest of the guys from cell for a lil run-walk down at MacRitchie again. And to spice things up, they were given a 15min head start ahead of us. So we ran and walk... until the steep incline at treetop walk. Nearly died there.
Had a good meal at longhouse after that. Realised that Ben from the YouthBand actually works for his Dad's Chicken rice stall there. Decided to patronise him there and got a good discount instead! WOO! Its nice having friends all over. You never know when you'll meet into tiny lil fortunes like that.
Rushed back home to shower, change and head back to school for Archery Camp. Make no mistake, I wasn't gonna stay over. I wanted to help out with their night walk thing. And I did. Helped to "leash" down the year 1s a bit b4 the walk so the others can prepare for the walk.
It lasted til 3am, and by the time Eaton sent me home, it was like 4am liao. GOt home tired like hell and still kena scolded by my mom in the morning. Haiz.
Was doing a lil leisure reading on Chinese astrology, I discovered something interesting. I'm a metal-rooster, born on a metal-day, and in the hour of the hidden rooster. In otherwords, im doubly cock, and doubly dense!
listening to the rain...
