Oh my..have we come to the end of blogging assignments for Storytelling..? It sounds so sad if i were to type my last and final post, and just before some ‘final words’ here..i just saw a piece of good news..that a new AIRCON canteen will be build in BLOCK 51 near end of 2008. woots! so near FMS and it’s the first air-conditioned canteen in campus! (just when i was getting a little sick with Canteen 1..)
some time last year, while i was watching this tvb drama call Fathers and Sons, actor Bobby Au Yeung made an interesting statement in the show, it goes something like “If you don’t have $400million, don’t think about raising a child.” (i remember the amount to be 400 mil, though i dunno which currency he’s referring to..)
and last night, in this ch 8 drama, Ivy Lee said that unless she has $10k, she won’t be willing to give birth again. and later, she increase the amount to $100k.
..which just made me think how EXPENSIVE we actually are…every step we take in this world is probably worth a thousand dollars…haha
perhaps we did not realize the price of bringing us up..the education fees, money spent on food, clothing, etc..till we can finally earn our own money. every cent spent on us was like…investment, though parents still care for us actually…and when u leave secondary education, u really feel the tonnes of school fees u have to pay..
..and in the future, how do we actually ‘pay’ the amount of money that has been spent on us throughout the years? erm, by ‘paying’ them to our children if we happen to have them in the future? i guess most people already contemplate about buying houses and cars.
though our parents don’t verbally demand anything in return from us, we never know, haha. depends of what kind of parents u have though..those selfish and money-minded ones might have something up their sleeves :)
sigh, why are so many things tied to money? why is it that almost every single thing can be linked to money? friendships, love, family..ultimately, our society forces us to think about money, without which we cannot possibly live. when u wanna go to the movies, u feel happy cos there’s special student price. u like the idea of student meals everywhere. but what happens after u are no longer a student? Reality becomes harsher.
in this possible last blog post here…im sorry cos im feeing a little *dead* that i seem to make no valid points in my entry? but i’ll still continue to blog at my own blog in blogger, haha.
well..not to bore u people reading this blog anymore, i shall end of with a few lines from a song i heard yesterday, and quite like it..
In younger days, I told myself my life would be my own
And I’d leave the place where sunshine never shone
For my life’s too short for waiting when I see the rising sun
Then I know again that I must carry on
Carry on till tomorow, there’s no reason to look back
Carry on, carry on, carry on..
- Carry On Till Tomorrow, by Badfinger
i decided to just paste the first verse..hmm, cos if i continue..it would make me sound like im sad which isn’t exactly how i’m feeling right now..!
OHMYGOD! air con canteen?! and it’s near fms block! wow! where did you see the news? haha. xD
and yes. money money. everything also need money. =x
