so me and wenkai were talking, and we then realize in pksg everyone has talent. outside of parkour. what a realization, and amazingly he was right. we analyze everyone one by one, they have multiple fields that they are skilled in. some of them are good in drawing, designing, certain other sports (badminton, soccer, cycling), gaming, etc. as retarded as everyone here might be, they are capable of many. which reminds me... what have i been doing with my soon-to-be eighteen years of life? i have very little things i'm actually even considered 'good' in.
i've wasted the whole of my primary school. what did i do? sure, i had the best fun of my life, the small little things i've appreciated - pepsi cola everytime during recess/before school starts, playing that eraser game, spinning erasers, etc. no doubt it was fun. but hey, i thought the time during that period could've been put into better use.
why didn't i start everything from young? namely, inability to use a simple CHINESE cutlery - chopsticks. no guts to cycle. never thought of wanting to try out skating. unwilling to learn how to swim. not putting any effort to study chinese. father even offered to get me to learn some musical instrument, but no i was too lazy. failing in so many aspects.
luckily i ticked out the first three already. at least in secondary school i've put much more effort to improve myself. to kick myself out of that 'loser' zone. one of which was parkour, which undoubtedly improve my whole being altogether. i wonder what i'll be without it. wouldn't be me anymore. you do know that, it doesnt matter how long it takes me to find out about parkour, but i know somehow or rather i'll definitely take interest and try out this supposed 'sport' in some stage of my life. i just feel that way.
and luckily i have filming as a back up. all i know is, all these needs alot of development so at least it is a recognised talent of mine. yes that's right. let's not just develop ideas, but transform them into something real. hardwork pays off, you know it.
i still need to learn how to swim. definitely. and more.
btw i just watched pursuit of happyness. what a good movie, didn't disappoint at all. it sucks how the world works so hard from young till death for one reason and one reason only - money. so screwed up. what a waste of a life. but let's deal with it. and appreciate what we've got. i know it is so damned cliched but hey, look at what chris and his son had to deal with. so much, for so little. what a sad story, yet what an impactful ending.
