different directions.

The biggest change I've had to adapt so far is really the change of perspectives. As your priorities change, so does your daily schedule and sometimes, even our interests. The things I used to love doing and do often are slowly being tucked away into spare time, which is slowly being invested in other things as well.

I used to be skeptical when they used to say when you're in Uni and in OCF, you're in a sheltered environment. Now, I realized that there's quite a fair bit of truth in that. As you move into the working world, the amount of responsibilities increases even more. Not only is there the financial aspects of monthly rent and bills to worry about, you realize that basically your life and time is in your hands. As a student, all you have to do is ask for money to pay the bills, or just study and do your assignments to pass the grade. Every other time is free time to do whatever you want. When you work, your free time is basically your weekend. Heck, I can't even do banking stuff because banks don't open in the weekend.

And really, you start to realize what you really want in your life. And call me sold out or whatever, I want to be that successful rich guy decked out in a tailored suit earning a morethancomfortable salary to do whatever he wants that I pitch to everyday. It's hard not to want to be in a position where you have the ability to pursue what you want, with the resources to support it.

I dare say I've changed quite a bit. I can't say it's for the better, but I've certainly learnt a few important things. I don't think I'm that innocent little guy I was a year ago, who just wanted a simple life anymore. I'm beginning to find there's quite alot more out there. And I suspect that things are going to be slightly different in the next few months...

But don't worry. I'm still not going to a Justin Timberlake concert...
