The world is getting Younger ?

Just spent a great weekend hanging out with some of my very young colleagues (and I meant really young like they were born when I was in PRIMARY ONE.. you go do the Math) and suddenly, besides the obvious AGE GAP, I feel like I am getting OLD. Not that it is a bad thing, being more mature since I have supposedly "taken more rice than they have taken salt" ... or was it "taken more salt than they have taken rice" ? Sigh .. what the heck, either having taken salt or rice has obviously done nothing to my memory nor my mastery of Mandarin..hahahah

Coming back to the issue of Youth .. why are pple or myself at least, always chasing after the dream of obtaining the elixir of youth?(no, this did not come out from watching too many Chinese Wu-Xia Serial okie) Do we really just want to look young (with botox & what's not) or FEEL young? Personally, I just want to find back what I lost in the rush to grow up ...

So what's so good about being young?Hmmmm.. for a start ....

1. The world was my oyster so I came armed with a dash of Tabasco (read : FIRE/Passion) and ate with gusto (Read : Fearless)
2. Falling down doesn't seems to hurt as much
3. Friends are easily made & accepted
4. Simple things satisfy ... like the sight of rainbows and children laughing
5. Kinship and friendship are valued way above materialistic pursuits

It seems all so easy to list them down but why aren't I like that anymore ? Simply cos I'm jaded, sick of work, frustrated with office politics & incompetency, disgusted with inequity and more importantly, losing faith in humankind .... especially smiley conniving ones!!muahahahhaha ...

All these points to one thing .. I NEED A BREAK BADLY .... oh, by the way, did I mention that I will be going to KOREA next month .....hehehehe ....
