Dreamz

Read an article on a Chinese paper, commenting on the space mission dream…

Huh…but what… Fancy spending thousands of the people’s money to buy an unusable spacecraft which the first ‘angkasawan’ has used to come back to Earth surface. It’s funny how we are taking the shortcuts when others are working their way from the basics. Fancy the first angkasawan wanting to leave the space mission right after enjoying the trip to the ISS with the reason to GET MARRIED. The fact that his own personal NEEDS are so much more important than a government mission. Then why sign up with the mission in the first place when you know you will cabut before it ends? Have some heart…

The grand dream of the leaders against the little dream of a lil someone… here. The grand dream of exploring the space against my ambition-turned-dream of studying architecture. The grand dream which is much anticipated by the people against my dream which is heard by no one. The grand dream which was supported financially by the tax payers against my dream which cannot be achieved by a mere little scholarship. The grand which seems so real (yet quite untrue) and my dream which can only remain as a dream.

Well, the unfairness of the world. How I see other people taking for granted of the little or huge nice things that they have, while some other people are struggling to survive with whatever they have. And probably because of this, the latter often are more able survive in critical moments, and that’s when the former might just sit and cry.

It isn’t always a bad thing to walk the long way before arriving at the destination. It’s how you walk the journey that matters more. And never be afraid to start from the basic. Everyone has his/her first time. As long as it’s a thing to the norm of the society.
