Life Musing.

I am finally not living in Surrealville anymore. The fact that I have to become independent in this foreign land finally took form in my mind today. Had to pay so many bills and fees recently that I finally got a taste of what it means to be on your own. Can't imagine starting a family next time with tons and tons of fees and bills to pay. It's rather scary how money can stress you up from time to time but the important thing that I've been reminding myself is that money is not everything, that there are so many more important things than money in this world (Esp things that money can't buy - like HEALTH. Who says money is superior to all?). Better not get caught up in this paper-chase (yes, money is just paper y'know).

Had to pay my dorm fees yesterday and the stupidest thing happened. I wanted to do transferring of money to the school's account and I realised I forgot my pin number for my bank card. So silly me just (un)happily tried the possible numbers I could think of, forgetting that I could only try 2 times.... before the card gets locked and thus rendered a useless piece of plastic that the bankteller would later go on to cut up as if it didn't used to be the key to the many papers stored in his bank. Sooooo I had to rush down during lunch time to the bank. But it turned out to be rather fun, doing such adult-ish things myself LOL. Great way to delusionise yourself into thinking you're really growing up.

Oh apparently, MJ's death finally has a verdict. Overdose. The entertainment world is really not a place to thrive in, seriously. So many celebrities have had their Great Falls, (no) thanks to the Media, otherwise-coined Paparazzi. And I had the biggest shock and disappointment yesterday. I don't know if anyone actually watches Channel 70 Discovery Family and Health on cable. But I'm a great fan of it. I can watch that channel for the whole day if you asked me to. (Heh, family person what, me) And so, I highly doubt anyone would find the show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" vaguely familiar? Basically it's this reality tv show that shows the daily lives of a couple with 8 kids - a pair of twins and sextuplets, no less! I was sooo amused by it when I first watched it. The kids are way adorable! Yes yes, anyway. I heard that the couple is headed for a divorce.. like WHAT THE HECK! I always thought their family was this close-knitted, loving family. And the cause of the divorce is rumoured to be infidelity. ...How can any parent even have the energy and time to find another man/woman when they have 8 kids waiting for them back home? Sigh, I just feel so sad for the kids. They are still so young and I'm sure they hardly know what's going on. ): I'm not sure if it's actually fair to blame the media for this since they have been twisting the facts and exaggerating things (as usual), making things more hyped up than they really are.

Sometimes I really wonder if people didn't go into the entertainment circle, would they be living a happier life? Fame is 可望不可求 indeed. But I think I'd rather not 望 for it either. What God gives, He gives. What God takes, He takes. We just have to be thankful for our own lives and plights (: Just remember that 一山还有一山高; when you think you're the least fortunate in this world, please look around again and stop throwing yourself a pity party. That way you'll be alot happier (: [HEH, sorry for the 俗语 (林老师, are those俗语ah?) overload!]

This is them. Tell me they're awfully adorable? (:
