Haha i know i'm growin gold when i miss all my old games.
Anyone knows what i'm talking about?
The Super Mario,Battle Axe,Super contra,Sonic the Hedge hog,etc.
Remeber playing all these games when i was in primary school, pay $1.00 to the Unc in the sleazy behind the convinience stall of stationary and drinks, game stations.
The sega and nintendo games!
I remeber playing romance of the 3 kingdoms the whole night till 7am just to complete conquering the whole of China wah ahahah!
Orh my i miss those games!
U know when you are getting old when you start missing all the old lovey dovey,ballads on class 95 love songs at night!
The bands like Breathe,Johnny Hates Jazz,Debbie Gibson,Cathy Dennis,Starship,Faith of the Heart by RodSteward!
And you stop listening to power 98 or 98.7 cause you start thinking what are all these youngsters listening too these days full of trash! AHaha
You know you are getting old when you stare at hip hop kids wearing their low jeans,showing their boxers. When you make comments about how kids these days have no respect, or say wah wait till they grow up then know how difficult to find job, or say these youngsters so dumb never think of future think play whole day long very happy!
You know you are getting old when conversations over tea break is about the rat race. About how ppl are sick of climbing that corprorate ladder, the no. of ppl you have to step on to get there. About how it's not all about the money that striving for riches will bring you nowhere and you end up being greedy and having to embezzle funds just to keep your sales quota up or your high reputation of being a great banker.
You know you are getting old when conversations over tea break is about how fooling around is getting tiring, when conversations about going clubbing, prostituion,etc has got boring and you need to look for more excitement. When it's no longer how to get high on drinks or women but how to get into a new high by during abnormal activities, different moves, drinking alchohol by different means.
You now you are getting old when covnersatiosn over tea break is about how difficult the divorce preceedings are, how the damn lawyer's fee is so expensive, $75 bucks an hour just for consultation. When you are thankful you didn't have kids else the settlement will drag longer and more painful. When you feel so stuck when your ex-wife keeps changing the settlement terms, and the lawyer doesn't care. When people say choose your partner carefully else you will regret.
You now you are getting old when dinner conversatiosn revolve round stingy former owners who make your life so difficult by demanding all kinds of wierd terms while selling the house. When you bitch about house agents and how they are out to cheat your money!
The amazing things you hear over a tea break or dinner conversation. Makes you wonder how i as a Christian, as a change agent in society ever makes a difference in the lives of such people.
I'm not like questioning God's presence i just wonder how is the gospel real to people who have such real life damning experiences.
Felt slightly down like what can i do or how can God use me?
It hurts sometimes to know there are so many norm people out in the rat race that face such difficulties on a daily basis and they just cruise through.
Is that what life is all about?
No wonder i love that song by Corrinne May, where life is a journey finding my way back to Him.
Am i too sheltered that life is too good for me? God's grace i guess.
Don't want to be a counsellor or a preacher or an evangelist just a friend.
Not much i can do anyway except just sit by their side listen to their woes,hurt with them,and maybe just maybe God will place some words of comfort and peace on my lips.
Remember this old song called People need the Lord
Everyday they pass me by, empty people filled with pain, going who knows where.
