Another long weekend of the year

2K17Q2

Friday marks the end of my brothers' final exams and they've been back to their games all night. It tempted me to go back to playing some games myself, so I did today. I played a game I used to be so excited about. It took me a while to download it back (gosh, gone were the days when we so patiently waited for hours while waiting for a game to complete its download.)

I played it for about 30 minutes. To be honest maybe it's because it's an old game afterall and I guess the number of players dwindled like crazy. I don't know which came first but the game was exactly the same compared to a few years ago? Kinda disappointed that there wasn't much improvements... and I felt really really weird that I'm playing it, with the same old graphics.

I can still remember my skills and my strengths at the game (i'm quite pro at times teehee) but ah it feels really weird. Because I'm at this age where I'm a working adult now and it just does not sync with this same person playing the game. That girl who used to enjoy that game was at a stage in life when the most important thing in life was her studies... was her basketball competitions... was how to study well so that she can get to a JC blah blah blah.

But right now, it just hit me that it's so different. It kind of makes me feel silly for going back to this game which slapped me hard in the face that hey, I have a much much different reality now.

I think I may be having some quarter life crisis or something and I am still figuring my life out. I am at an in-between stage. Everything is neither here nor there, neither good nor bad. Just, in-between.

Sometimes you can't move forward without leaving all the past behind.

Watched Ratatouille again with my brothers :-) One of my favourite feel-good movies.

"You must be imaginative, strong-hearted. You must try things that may not work, and you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul. What I say is true - anyone can cook… but only the fearless can be great."
