3 May 2012
As time passes, one will change - everyone changes. Peer influences, self-principles and parental guidance - they played huge roles in shaping me into who I am now. It's odd to say this but when I reminisced my past, all I can say life can be unfair no matter how hard you try to obey to your principles.
My first lesson that life is unfair occurred when I was very young. Maybe 7 years old? I was accused of altering my exam paper when I did not. I received a full 100 marks but due to a jealous classmate, he told my subject teacher that I altered my exam paper after she had marked it. So she deducted a few marks from my paper. When I looked back, Damn. I was so stupid and how can I not stood up against such blatant accusation? If time machine existed, I would have gone back to the past and teach my "little self" about not being too compromising.
Those memory does haunt me until today.
However, I do not hold any grudges on my friend that accused me (I heard he became a chef after graduating from high school). I believe in forgiving people but sadly, I am not a perfect guy. I may forgive but it's very hard to forget all the unpleasant memories. Sigh. Such memories served as hard reminders to not repeat them again. But when bad memories were uncovered, they left a trail of stench. They only further remind me that I am only an ordinary guy.

If I have a wish, I always wish for happiness (행복). Happiness for others, happiness for myself. If I am happy, I think I am already successful. Why would I want to crave for more successes when I am happy? Some people should really look at the bigger picture.
Far away from home, I always crave for many simple things. Food like chocolate cake... no toppings... just a plain chocolate cake will do.. Hmmmn... Yummmm.... And yes, fruit cake too. Make sure it's packed with lots of dried fruits... raisins... And if possible, some banana cake.. and... a slice of layer cake too... such things... Ahhhh... make me happy... now... I'm... hungry...
