Chapter 22-05: Looking back to grow up

who says one can't grow up by looking back and his or her pass?

a few days ago, i looked at my previous blog entries on msn spaces (http://fernyit5317.spaces.live.com) and realized that i was freaking immature 2 years ago. really wanna smack myself in the face and ask myself what was i thinking and why did i do those things.

revisiting my history, i also learn a lot about myself. the way i think and why do i think about things in such a way.

Kris is right. every time i fall, i will stand up stronger and better than before. changes need to be made in order to prevent falling all over again and to be a better man.

traveling alone can be good as well. make some friends on the way and also have the time to think about life, no matter present, past or the future.

today, while i was on the train from Amsterdam to Paris. there was a Dutch kid and his father sitting beside me for the whole duration of the train ride. the kid was making a lot of noise, to be frank, i was annoyed. but the father did not do anything. if it was in a more Asian context, the boy will have been punished or stopped by his parents and asked to be more considerate.

well, i guess that is the different culture background. i think it is rather cool. after a while, the kid started to talk to me and we chatted a little. he is very friendly. on the other hand, kids that were limited will not take initiative to talk to strangers and also be that friendly.

viewing things differently. that is what i think about it.

time to get some food into my tummy. till next time. adios!
