22.

It’s officially June.

I’m turning 22 in 4 days time.

As I think about my life, I’ve realized, time and tide really wait for no men.

It was only awhile ago I was 16. Now I can’t believe I’ve graduated from secondary school 6 years ago.

As I approaches my 22nd, I’m asking myself, “what have I done with my life so far?”

Being a Singaporean, no doubt I’ve unknowingly been caught up in the rat race, working and working.

And recently, I’ve recalled a song which starts with a lyrics in chinese “who doesn’t have a dream when he/she is young?”

How true, we all started out in life, dreaming and wanting to do something, be a change factor and change the world. But as we grow up, that greatness factor in us dwindles as we are hit with bills to pay, needs to be taken care of and more responsibilities.

As a result, we simply stopped dreaming. Its not because we don’t have the ability to dream anymore.. It’s simply because we don’t take time to dream anymore and we don’t believe in dreams anymore..

And as I step into my 22nd year of my life, like I said, I asked myself what have I done with my life so far.

In all honesty, I haven’t done much. But as I step into being 22, I want to take time off to dream and I want to believe in dreams again. I want to believe I can be someone great even with bills to pay.

Sometimes, its not just about keeping on alone, its about keeping on, and keeping the dreams alive.

And that’s my wish for this year, to keep dreaming.

One day I’ll be rich
One day I’ll be someone who have done something to change the science of computers
And one day I’ll have a great family and a great work balanced life.

Start Dreaming Again.

The best is YET to come!
