My interest in songs are really varied. I like happy songs like the above, slow moody songs like Ed Sheeran's "Kiss Me" or acoustic performances like the Black Cab Sessions version of Chairlift's "Ghost Tonight". Since I took MEP (I secretly take pride in this because how many people actually did MEP? Not like it meant my musical abilities are extraordinary... anyway that's beside the point) I'm not above liking instrumental music although I'm against orchestra music because they feature strings TOO much.
Other sections deserve attention too! (This, coming from a brass player).
Did I just devote many lines to talking about music?
A stray thought occurred to me as I was showering. Being from pedigree/top schools doesn't mean you'll be an elite for your whole life. Some people have pretty academic history but subsequently, are stranded in mediocrity. The more people you talk to, the more you'll realise that it's not only people from the elite schools who can get ahead.
Why am I surprised? In this day and age, almost every one can go to uni right? If you can't get in through proper channels, you can pay your way in, you can buy a degree, you can go somewhere that'll take you. Possibilities are endless. Having a degree doesn't set you that much apart. It's rather sad.
That said, where you studied does shape your character/person to an extent.
Not to sound elitist but some people SOUND exactly like where they're from. They talk, write, think like That.
So does going to top schools shape a person to be elitist? I think it boils down to the individual. Some are annoyingly hao lian while others are so down to earth and normal.
Hmm.
Last night, this scary thought crossed my mind. I won't share what it was but ... personally I think it can be pretty real although people say that at my age, I still have all the time in the world.
I don't think that's true. Every day, time is slowly slipping away. You can't pause it, you can't turn back time. One day, you would realise years have passed and what have you accomplished?
Are you able to look back and say you've achieved your goals, enjoyed the ups and downs, loved and be loved?
I'm afraid that I will not be able to experience all that life has to give. Sigh. Have to remind myself daily to do what my heart tells me to (thankfully I am sensible so no idiotic tendencies).
Even if you're embarrassed, it'll go away. So what if you're disappointed, it's a test and you'll move on to something better.
Positive thinking. I like to tell myself "The Secret" exists and we have to believe!
