A Better Life

If you can choose to have a better life, which aspects of your life you want to change?

For myself, I often imagine what if I am born richer, keeping all the other factors constant. That would be nicer, right? Well, at least that is one aspect I would want to change, not... Upon deep contemplations and meditations, I would like my life to be as it is. I dunno exactly why, but from all the thoughts I thought, I think that should I become financially stronger, I would not keep 'all the other factors constant', meaning there is always a tradeoff. For example, lets say my family own a construction company (considered rich liao laa...) I dont think I could mingle with all my local friends back in SMP or SMA. During that time, those rich Chinese grouped together, forming kinda exclusive entity. While me, being accustomed to eat at the cheaper places (roadside stalls like that) could mingle with those whom I considered as good old friends now. And that skill (should it be considered as skill) carries on with me till now. I could talk to those cleaners/security guards/technicians etc with ease. Serious... Even I dunno their language.

Lately I had mentioned that I would like to go back to my BP days, carrying current state of myself. The zi-high one, the lame one, whatever I have now. But then, I would say that (after a minute of serious talk with pheiwen) I cant have any regret by being the uber uncool me who pretended to sleep during breaks so that nobody would disturb him. Yeah... I did that... Things might have been different if I went out during those periods, maybe joining some cool CCA like NPCC or something but I dunno... Maybe those periods may prove to be useful for me in the future.

Sure talking about BP days brings back memories. Let me list down what I remember from those days... (the school life onli ah..)
1. Fought with Linda every now and then over trivial matters.
2. Thursdays $2.50 fried chicken rice from makcik's stall.
3. The 90c rice n 2 wings I always had.
4. 2.4km where I always set Shimin as my benchmark, cant lose to her!
5. The Malay class with funky Cikgu Senan n Cikgu Jamil.
6. Salim Akbar, that History/SS classes. And his gayish 'OK CLAAASSSS'
7. Crystal growing club that is dissolved... Together with the bitter memories.
8. That first minute lucky goal against 402. Apparently that rush towards ball has always been there since Sec 3.
9. Nearly public canings of my Malay friends.

Not many...
