TO WATERMELON...
================
Note: You may not want to read this but I am going to blog it out anyway because you are my ‘best’ friend. I may even lose you as a friend but who cares?
Let’s recap some historical events.
Have you ever wondered why your mom bothers to ask you to eat? Asking you if you need this or do you need that? It is because she cares for you. I know your character well yet not very well. You do not like to be ‘forced’ to do things. BUT most of the times you do not have an idea on what you are going to do. A good example would be your education. You are not stupid... You just do not like people (teachers, parents and friends) to nag at you. The more they tell you that “Education is for your own good. In the future, you want to be roadside cleaner ar?” The more you dislike studying...
Let’s think about it... Our parents, friends and teachers have always choose the most appropriate path for us, you may not realize that when you are still a kid. Come to think about it, have you ever regret learning Mathematics (counting money), English and Chinese (communication) and Science (logic)? Most people if not all will answer “No. I’m glad that I know math that is why I’m earning money now and not getting cheated by the cashier who counted wrongly.” To sidetrack, I know that I’m going to further my education this time because I’m doing it for myself. I’m not doing it for my parents’ face (pride); I’m doing it for myself...
At the very least, my best friend knows that he do not want to be a roadside cleaner. The bad thing is that he does not know what he really wants to do. Right now, I ain’t expecting you to straight away give me a reply that “I want to be a $5,000 per month cleaner (inside joke)”. There is still time to think about your own future, around 2 years to be exact. I only hope that you can slowly think of what you are going to do with your life. Your mum is not always going to be there for you, I am not purposely cursing her. Sorry... Likewise, my mum is not going to be there for me always. This is reality.
Like it or not, you may think that I’m a busybody. BUT when you see one of your closest friends smoking, would you let him to continue with the knowledge that smoking kills or would you rather nag at him, giving him a tight slap or just breaking off that friendship? I would rather not know him in the first place. True to say, you are not committing any crimes or doing anything against your conscience. BUT you have been “sleeping” for a long time; I feel that it is time to shake you up. It doesn’t matter if you like my opinions or not as long as I know that I’m doing the right things. I cannot bear to see you wasting your time away and before you know it, I’m already dead... Let me explain myself. I’m not looking down at cleaners or low-wage workers as long as they do their job, I will respect them as well. I understand that it is not pleasant to be cleaning up after other people so I sincerely salute them.
Let’s have another example, you struck lottery. So what are you going to do with the money? I don’t think you would know what you want to do with the money. Sure, you may crave for some worldly possessions, never work again and ‘enjoy’ everyday. BUT is that all? Is this the best you can do? C’mon... Even if you want to strike lottery, you must know what to do with the money also or it would all go down to the drain. Nevertheless, I still hope you are able to achieve your ‘dream’ of striking lottery at the age of 21.
Next, is our MSN conversation today...

He did not reply after this. He’s probably angry at me? Why? Who cares?
By the way, “arbo” means why not, “jio” means ask, “nua” means slack, XXX is not a pornography shop and XYZ is a person. Lol... I edited the names and so on to protect the identity of the persons involved.
I shall ask you another question. Why did I bother to say all these things and risk damaging our years of friendship? The answer is simple. I care for you. Ewww... Sounds so gay....
Even if you do not like green tea, you should acknowledge that it is quite a healthy drink. Since it is a healthy drink, why not taking it one sip at a time? I’m not asking you to drink the whole can at once. I will be pleased if you can take in a little bit and try to adapt to the taste. Initially, it may not seem nice but once you are able to take it. You know that it is good for you. Good for your health as well. For once, I hope you can adapt to the taste and fight away the fears of drinking green tea. At the end of the day, no one can force you to drink green tea. The decision must be made by you yourself. It would be an achievement if you manage to overcome green tea. At least you know that you are not afraid of drinking green tea anymore. You can even tell others that you have done it. My last question of the day, “What will you do if you weren’t afraid?”
