wanted to blog this after school.. but odac ended at 2130 yesterday. reached home at 2230 and plonked.
The start of school. For the Primary One kids, it is a journey where they learn that school sucks. For Secondary 1 kids, it will be a day of awakening. For Secondary 4 kids, they think nothing is more precious than their secondary school days. For us, the start is the start of an ending.
For so long, we went through education where we need not think for our future, for our tomorrow. Everything was planned for us. There was only one road ahead. An everyone went down that street. As i finally had an epiphany, that road has ended. Ahead is a road of endless possibilities, a road of hard work. It is after this year, that we have to think for ourselves. The guys go to NS, study and work. Get married, have kids. The ladies do without the NS.
Its really the end of our childhood. No more. I din want to let go. i don't want to grow up.
And suddenly, i felt lost.
Childhood. We remember ur fairy tales. We remember the matrix. What if i told you that we all have been living in a world of lies and deceit that even the fairy tales we read when we were young were not the actual folk tales we were meant to read. So much for innocence. So much for adulthood.
and of cos, if i could choose, i wouldn't want to grow up.
and i finally understood why my elders always tell me " studying is always better than working'
