my body is beyond tired but my mind remains stubborn, so here i am, trying to remedy this hopefully temporary bout of insomnia. nothing like good ole textual bulimia. i miss blogging in the dead of the night with the shroud of darkness and veil of silence enveloping me. someone i look up to was featured in Life's weekly instalment of local personalities, so i was pleasantly surprised when, stumbling bleary-eyed and ignoring the day's first pangs of hunger, i saw his picture on the front cover at too-early o'clock. i devoured the article and it did satiate my perennial voyeuristic curiosity about it. however, the article dug up some issues that i thought wouldn't resurface for sometime. i was telling zaihan about him, him writing his first play at 19 and having his first book at 20. in 7 months' time, i'll be 20. the 0 in 20 might as well be representative of the achievements i've had thus far. he told me to not compare. it's hard not to when i was doing absolutely nothing of significance at 19. perhaps i'm being unnecessarily hard on myself, afterall, how many of singapore's youth has achieved as much as the muse of this entry?by P at 3/21/2006 01:42:00 AM |
