dare to dream when you are young or even getting older, ok?

Wanna share something with you about a conversation I had with a youngster in public library back to two years ago.....

Youngster -18 years old (y) & ME (vino)While waiting for my part time job.. I went to nearby public library to plan out my next few days's schedule..I took out the Otago daily planner and wrote as much as I had in mind. And here the youngster with a school uniform came and sat beside me. At first, he just did his own reading and we didn't have any eye contact or any greeting.after 5 minutes later, .. he started his conversation..

y: hey, so you are the first year in Uni..vino puzzled a while..

vino: no, I am final year of undergraduate.. I will finish my study end of this year.. ( I feel bad when I said this to him... but that is the answer I can think of when suddenly a stranger asked me this Q... am I trying to run away the fact of actually I am 26 and going to 27 soon.. I m not really sure..

y: oh cool! that's cool! ( I noticed that he like to say "cool")

vino: so how abt you? high school?

y: yeah, still in high school but looking forward to get out from the school environment..I wanna go travel around the world!(he started to share with me his plan of travelling around in Asia country end of this year with his friends. He will travel to Thailand, Msia, Spore, then Japan and Korea.)

y: So have you been to Japan?

vino: no, but hope I will have chance to go there:P

y: cool!y: I like to be your age, you are around 24 right?

vino puzzled again..vino: ah yes!

y: In the age of over 20, I am pretty sure I can control and plan my life better.. I have more freedom and do what I keen to .. So, what did you do when you was 18?man, he had so many questions! but I feel good chatting with him.. I can see the cheerful look and fresh mind of a youngster.. and I think I am old in front of him. hmm.

vino: well, when i was 18, I did not have so many plan as you.. I only concentrated on my study and hope for the best to get the uni entry! that's all .. not much thing i did! (and smile stupidly to him... )

y: ah ha.. well, cool!then he said he love film making, martial art, he loves law and tourism study as well..y: but law is pretty boring i guess.. so I think I still love film making, to be a director..

vino: so u prefer to make action movie ? since you love martial art?

y: i wanna be comedian director!woooo.....and he passed me a book to read. y: read this, is a good book though. This book is all about a true story about a comedian director in UK..

After chatting with him, ... I kind of thinking back what I m doing when I was 18 and do I have so many plans in mind? I think the answer is no. I wish him all the best for his dreams. Cheers youngster
