that old man

I was buying lunch the other day when I saw an old man in front of me paying for his food. He had this faint smile on his face which seemed to make the world around him stop in its tracks. It spelled contentment and somehow it felt heartwarming. Like the time when I saw an old couple holding their grandchildren's hand walking around Disneyland. So there I was watching him putting ketchup on top of his fries while the whole world was moving in slow motion. I wondered what made him smile like the way he was smiling. Some a times, I would wonder hows it like living life from their perspective. Watching them going on with life as they are getting older, I wonder if they wished for anything better. How I wish I could live like them. Actually it would be a great idea to retire now and set on a journey around the world. A guitar and some basic necessities is all I need.
Anyway, live in BRTC has been good so far. Hopefully I'll get into the vocation of my choice with my buddies. And its CDA here I come!! Can't believe I'll be passing out in a few weeks time. Isn't it amazing how time flies? When FYP still seems like a yesterday thing. And yes, I really do want to retire now.
