Actually, dun have a lot of things to blog today. But, still, I feel like blogging. haha..

Met my primary school teacher on the streets today.. She hadn't changed much, still got the same hairstyle after 12 years. Haaz.. She looked the same from afar, but close up, u get to see more traces of time - winkles.

She didn't remember me, but she found my mom familiar. Lol. But nvm, what is impt is that I remember her and her name. It is not an impt fact for teachers to remember their students but it is extremely impt for students to remember their teachers. Because this will indicate how successful the teacher is.

We chatted a little, and I get to know she had retired 2 years ago. Wow. Another teacher of mine retired. She told me happily that she requested for early retirement and that teaching is a stressful job. From her broad smiles, I can really feel that she is happier not being a teacher. haaz.. And I am really happy for her. How many times do we get to be really happy in life? Chances are many but we seized so few of it. More often than not, we are forced to be practical. In the working world, who cares abt passion, interest? Instead, wealth, cars, properties determine your achievements. Who knows 10 years later, these will be the hot favourite discussion topics in our gathering. lol.

However, happiness also relies on a lot of factors. For some people, even if they are doing something they like, they may not necessarily be happy. Their interest may not let them earn as much as others and the closest people around them may not even approve of their decision. In practical sense, money isn't everything but without money, it is nothing. Lol. When reality and practicality hits you, your passion may not even save you.

So, happiness is so abstract that it only belongs to people with the right mentality. Only to people who clearly know what they want and what they need. To all those who is ever so focused on their targets in life.

Miss Low, I wish u a happy retirement and may you always smile so broadly. (I love your smiles.)
