i feel like a kid again!

ZOMG! it's only october 22nd and it officially snowed in montreal. it was really awesome, like countless of snowflakes floating down from the sky. i've seen snow before, but i really dont know why i was still soo happy!! haha. walked in the snow for quite some time til my toes went really numb. but deep inside, it felt so warm cuz it really made me feel like a kid again! i guess sometimes we just get so caught up in life that we forget to take joy in little things.

speaking bout feeling young, i recently talked to a classmate from my developmental psych class. it feels kinda weird to call her my classmate cuz she's already a mother of two adolescent kids and reached the middle age of forty that most sporean women would be so shy to speak of. what really amazed me was that she's doing her full time studies now and really enjoys it. she says that she finds herself still growing and discovering so much more bout the world and herself now. going to school has changed her perception in life so much and she's excited to go school. she's so bubly and felt so much like a friend to me than a senior. she also said that she just feels like doing what she enjoys cuz she's tried but just doesnt like the working life. people of different worlds i suppose. what she is doing now is totally not the 'mainstream' route that people would take. for sporeans at least.

i got to know another two ppl from my class. both are from china, one doing her masters here and the other just re-taking his chemistry degree here cuz his previous one was done in china where it was taught in chinese. i cant help but really admire these ppl. like they'll go all out to pursue what they really want, even if it might not seem the 'normal' thing that people would do.

i should really start thinking of what i really want. sth that i would be happy doing. maybe we should learn more from kids. just doing what they feel like doing and not fearing the consequences... (:

throw the yardsticks


i'll spread my wings and i'll learn how to fly
i'll do what it takes til i touch the sky
and i'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And Breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that i've loved
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And Breakaway
