death of the child

in a moment's time, i'm going to grow up.

in a moment's time, i am suddenly an adult in the eyes of the Law, in the eyes of Society. i can marry without my parent's consent; i can apply for a HDB flat; i can be the guarantor of someone wanting to take a loan; i can make IDD calls with starhub (which is totally dumb that an 18 yr-old is not allowed to); i can watch R21 films without using a VCD player; and i can enter "double O" on weekends.

in a moment's time, i will be twenty-one.

its not as big as everyone thinks it to be. there are many 25 yr-olds out there who are losers in the eyes of a 20 yr-old. and between now and then, what would you do to BE different? what would you do in life so that those wannabes will look at your back view, and be awed at your magnificence - and want to BE you. Would you cower in insignificance, or brace for Greatness?

i'll let you know in a moment's time.
