i was just watching "The Vox" by ChannelNewsAsia, on an edition about tweens. great stuff.
not that i am acting young to categorize myself in their generation, but reflecting the materials unto myself reminded me about some odd (and scary) truths about this melvin.
even as a younger tween, or teenager, or even a youth now, i knew all along that i was an anomaly to the generation.
i despised the "ultraman", "superman", and their family of action heroes since young, and even today i keep harry potter a thousand miles at bay, to the offence of thousands, probably millions. i could not understand why men would be obsessed with the impossibly supernatural, why live in unattainable fantasies?
so, even at a tender age, i dominated the black box (as much as i could) and switched to the mature channel 8 during the "aunty" time belt when the other channel was busy attracting tweens/teenagers with their cartoons.
that was how i got to know the six "ah jies" of mediacorp at that age even better than any adult,
and started noticing kym ng and evelyn tan to be enthroned in my heart of admiration.
i'd rather be lost in the world of romance, money, and fame, than be thrilled by men flying on fake wings.
today, i still continue buckling the trend to stick out as a sore thumb in my crowd.
i always feel, and proclaim, that "i am too old to be studying".
not that i am not enjoying studying.
yesterday, a junior asked about my "secret to success" now.
my frank reply was to "love what you are studying". and it is true - i cannot enjoy my studies any better now.
but at the same time, i cannot deny the eagerness to be "released", into the great corporate world of dreams.
oh, wait for me. (:
