yesterday attended a friend's birthday celebration. somehow or rather, with no particular reason, i realised that we are all adults. Adults with heavier responsibilities, adults who have to handle the complexity of society, adults who need to work hard and smart to survive...otherwise, before we know it, we'll be eliminated. for those who survive, they will still be in the running, but the question is in the running for what? Conflict of interest is no more as simple as it is when we were in sec school. it has to be handled with care, wisely. birthday celeb ain't just simply celeb. a cake ain't just a cake. they have more profound meanings. celebrating for others feels more like an obligation instead of pure sincerity.
