Me..The ROCKSTAR

We all dream of becoming something or someone.

Me? I've always wanted to be a Rockstar. Definitely a rockstar.

"If i knew computer science would be like this, I would have dropped out long ago and pursued my dream to be a rockstar!"

I read this quote a long time ago and it reflected the exact feeling i had when i was in college.
Rock stars have it all.. fame, fortune and all the women screaming and going wild just to be with you ehehehe :p

Yeah i know. I am being shallow.. but hey, I'm just being honest.. that I would give up a day of my geeky life for a rock performance with a million fans screaming and fainting just to see me play drums or guitars.

I can see it all now...thousands of fans anxiously waiting for me to appear on stage.. then the drum beat starts, echoing like thunder all over the stadium as i come on..fans shouting.. and all the girls yelling.."I love you chi... marry me!!!" awwww hehehe

Oh to feel the rush of being on stage.. the excitement.. chills running through your spine..the heart pounding fast.. As madonna puts it "like a virgin.. touched for the very first time." hehe :)

Tsk tsk why oh why did I have to take up this course! I should have been a rock star..Oh well back to reality.. for a time there it almost felt real.. *sigh*

papa!

mid 20s.
single.
dad.

that i am. i miss those days when all i did was hangout, drink, play, do *other* stuff and travel without letting anyone in my family know about it. I was carefree (or careless), shallow and selfish..and yes it felt good. :)

It felt so good not thinking about anyone or anything or the consequences of my actions. I miss those days when i acted on pure selfish instincts. I was free..... I was free.

I hated growing up. Grown-ups are unhappy people who work for money. And when they have enough money..they work harder for more. Yes it's a vicious cycle that grown-ups do. One of my favorite books told me that.

I knew the secret of happiness. It was to not hesitate. It was to go for whatever it is that you want. "If it feels good, go for it and think not", I always said.

I was happy. I knew the secret. Or so i thought.

But now things have changed. I now have a baby boy. A result of me not hesitating :) haha. Sadly i still think it's the secret to happiness. And i will be teaching the same to my boy..hehehe :)

Being a dad and all (it feels weird calling myself that :p), i believe i am more responsible now. I guess i am growing up after all. I am very happy now that i am a dad. But i do admit missing those good old days..and good old selfish me. :p
