The Child's Slave Vs. The Corporate's Slave
It's funny to meet up with your old school mates after years apart.
People who were ambitious, bright, and brainy back in the old days or who you would assume will be a corporate climber TODAY are married and already have kids.
People who were average achievers back in the old days or who you would assume will get married first have now become successful corporate climbers in renowned firms and some even run their own businesses.
Life is indeed strange. Fate is a joker. And Luck is never loyal.
Nonetheless, the most notable change in our group of friends is that, the ugly ducklings have grown into beautiful swans. While those beautiful ducks back in the old school days have now turned into Jurassic Platypus, the opposite.
The reason being is that, BEAUTIFUL hot-blooded YOUNG people tend to overDooo on things. For instance, over-makebabieSss mistakeSss EARLY in life out of curiosity. *winks*
'Average' peopleWhile average-in-everything punya people like you and me tend to achieve things averagely. Average people do not overdo, overdressed, over-killed, or even over-achieved. We are pretty stable and average like the pond water without any ripple. Even our bank accounts also display very 'average' savings only. ;)
Average people alsostay young longer age averagely when compared with our 'counterparts' - those 'over-achievers' who have to scream their lungs out to discipline their 'over-active' monkeys.
Thus why, the human race has totally evolved into two very different species: The Swan and the Platypus. Or rather, the Child's Slave and the Corporate's Slave.
You see, my dear friend, Time is a heartless bastard. It will not hesitate to mark its footprints and its presence on our face and profile. The more you experience life, the older you look. Nuff said.
And as for this post, I really don't know what prompted me to write it. Maybe it's the cute guy that I had a crush on or secretly admired back in the old days... Abuthen who looks like an Ah Pek now with balding hairline and beer gut that ignited the passion for this post. (I feel heartbroken.)
Or maybe it's the super hot chick who was super hot and chuen back in the old days... Abuthen who looks like a Pasar Ah Soh now with greasy hair and dress like my mother that triggered my waterfall-ranting button. Muahahahahaha. (I feel overjoyed).
To make the long story short, i.e., to give you a clear and precise idea of my shaken-but-not-stirred punya emotions...
It is like watching that favorite red car from your neighborhood vrooomed past your house during your teen days but you never get the chance to properly check it out until recently... And now that you did, you realized that it is NOT the Red Ferrari which you had wildly indulged in and/or imagined. Instead it's just an average 1000cc Red MyVi which you can find in anyone's punya backyard.
While theMini Cooper Perodua Kelisa which you never pay any attention in your life is actually a modified Lamborghini in disguise! *GASP*
Get the idea?
