Time is running out
Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest holds true , especially for a competitive society like ours. Yes, I am feeling the strains of living in such a fast paced life. It is no wonder that I am always rushing off from one place to another. People appear to be hurrying, practically most of the time. I mean, do you notice the attitudes of Singaporeans during the rush hour periods? They are obviously RUSHing around, as if their lives will be doomed for eternity, if they are not able to catch the bus or the train where the waiting time is only about ten minutes flat.
Moreover, time seems to pass by so quickly that most of us do not even realize it. I feel as if it was yesterday that I was a freshmen in NUS whereby undergrad life seemed so exciting, yet so different. And lo behold, I will be a 4th year student in the next semester. The most senior on campus (minus the Masters students, of course). Sheesh... I feel that life on earth is actually in a "Forward" mode, not exactly in a "Play" mode. Maybe God is sick of watching over us and decided to fast track life. Or maybe God is so pissed off with mankind and their horrible deeds that He wanted Doomsday asap.
I am not complaining. I am only commenting. And yes, I am guilty of being a slave to time. I am not spared from this massive ordeal either. Speaking of which, I need to sign off soon. I have to rush off for tutoring my Sec 3 student before meeting Darling Dear for a quick dinner. And yes, I need to pick up a lovely gift for my dad's birthday and maybe survey around for an ultra cheap, reliable and sleek Digi Cam, for myself. I need to be home by 1030pm tonight because "Project Runaway" is on for tonight and I would not want to miss it. Basically, I would be rushing around like a mad woman in order to finish all my tasks on time. Such a life is simply typical for the beings of the 21st century.
