As free as the water flowing into the ocean. As free as anything as you can think of. Actually i should be in this state also as i have managed to pull myself out of the real "rat race". i will try my best. Actually i like to do something for the orphanage if i can, because not until the age of 40 than i have a son. i hope i really can do something before i am senile or dementia or maybe penniless.

Maybe I will tell that to anyone who ask me what's my job. <br /><br />Life in sabbatical is indeed the best phase of my adult life. I begin to see life in different perspectives and enjoy all the simple things in life. I even took up photography early this year and has been shooting people, buildings and even bugs. I can spend hours alone in the deserted natural parks looking for tiny bugs and time fly past very fast. I find peacefulness in the nature and I really enjoy it. <br /><br />We should learn to cherish the present and not worry too much about the future.YJ72https://www.blogger.com/profile/08997061146731034795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-20324451379626506742012-07-09T20:57:59.781+08:002012-07-09T20:57:59.781+08:00and that's when you still a "working clas...and that's when you still a "working class dog" right ;Pdurionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-34458562571975250782012-07-09T09:12:01.727+08:002012-07-09T09:12:01.727+08:00Coconut,
