I just came home from the council dinner which in my opinion, ended kind of prematurely. Everyone just wanted to leave suddenly, when i thought the night would last longer.
Oh well, it's been long since we last met up. Talk over dinner was peppered with updates on our lives. Trina with her PR work which she had to explain 3 times to different groups of people. Khairi and his transformers breakup, which proves my point that there's indeed a gap between the males and females of the same batch in uni. Dennis and his quit from school, which wasn't exactly shocking knowing him. Soar the skies man.
And it's through talk like these that i realised how much we've changed. No doubt all the crappy talk remains, and we reminisced about the council board, but what i want to truly say is somehow money has became a bigger part in everyone's lives.
I was thinking a bit when i was on the way home. I haven't exactly worked much; very pitiful working experience. But what drives this young people to start working? What exactly makes them want to go through the hassle of applying for something, adapting to a whole new environment, a whole new schedule and a somewhat major change in life?
One of them is doing real estate now. I didn't ask how much he earns, but doesn't a property agent earn quite a bit? And they sure know a few things more than i do.
I admit that my parents are able to provide a good life for me currently, and there is no need for me to study and work. I was thinking of what i read the other time. When you are rich, you only want to be richer. The sky is the limit and even though you've got 10 million, you want to transform it into 1 billion. But what I realised of myself is that i just prefer a life whereby i can get by comfortably.
I don't have to earn millions and millions. I don't need a fancy car. I don't need a swimming pool in my house. Somehow, if i can achieve what my parents achieve, that is satisfying enough. Of course i am aiming for more. But they are all bonuses.
I want to have time for my kids. I want to do the things i like. I don't want to be working from 8am-9pm and earn 50k a month. Ok maybe i want. =x
But you get my point.
Sounds kind of spineless? Like a guy without any dreams and aims.
And what's up with me. 2 self-deprecating posts in 2 days.
