prayer

We have come to a different stage of our lives. We chat with friends over different issues with a matured mentality, different from years ago in high school where we contemplated over which course to enrol in, what our ambitions are like. Where would this friendship be 10 years down the road. Well, it has indeed been 10 years down the road.  My friends from secondary school have been with me on this journey for 10 years now. :) But over dinner, groups of friends discuss new things. Ive heard from them the cost of a HDB BTO flat.  I learn that CPF takes up such a big portion of my salary that I already begin to feel poor. Haha. And at that instant I sorta automatically join in with the pool of disgruntled citizens with government policies. haha. And its at this stage of life where I witness my friends experiencing the uncertainty of things, relationships and the future.  Relationships built over countless years begin to crumble and there you are, right back at the start, to begin again. Is it worth it? Friend told me "I think after telling you all these you wouldnt want to be attached anymore" I thought about it and I replied " No, I dont think you situation with your GF deters me. What deters me will be looking at my dad and mum."


I visited the temple today. Every once in a while i would. I prayed to thank for the successful completion of the semester, For my cap to be sufficient as I desired. For my family to be 'fine?' again. For everyone's health. For. The Korean Ferry. News of the incident is plastered all over my FB newsfeed. I cannot help avoiding it. It struck me even harder knowing its destination was Jeju, where I intend to travel to this June. It really bothers me.I prayed that things would be fine, or a proper closure would come very soon.

Ive said this before.
But if everyone begins to live in fear, life will come to a standstill.
We cannot.
