will eventually be, the new thing to do.

As the hint of nostalgia hits the air (accompanied by the fact that the photocopier is not working due to the lack of toner), it makes you wonder: Are we really going to be happier when we become our new-selves from the old?

Sometimes i feel that just because “new” is being equated alongside the notion of future, we naturally assume that all new things must be good and true. But really, the only reason we think this way is only because like the future, we hope that whatever comes along with it is better.

But the truth is, there are many things that can never replace the old. New friends will sometimes never make up for the kind of company you had with pals met 5 years before. Additional training/education courses and late nights will never be comparable to the kind of life you had at the university hall when you only started studying at 2am because time before that was spent playing, rendering you in all sorts of trouble.

So i think that i want to continue the next few years of my life acting like a premature old tard whom just wants to do things that he always liked and was comfortable with.

And to prove it, i decided to wear my age old, yellowing Reebok classic sneakers today that has been kept in the shoe closet for oh so long. This was the exact pair of sneakers which i waited for at the shopping mall a few years back for 2 hours because the last pair with my size was sent for a photo-shoot and i was determined to get it.

Maybe, I was happy because i knew i had just taken a step with the shoes to ensure that I will always have the old, in the new me. =)
