Low Gravity

  Neil Armstrong is and will forever be the man who I always recognize as Man on the Moon. I first know of him when I was only in Primary One,when our English teacher would share with us on how travelling out of Earth,going to the Moon is not impossible. The man who gave me the inspiration. Apollo 11, the first footprint on the Moon which still haven't vanish, the man in the spacesuit waving to the camera. Rest In Peace, sir... Rest In Peace.

  Sir Armstrong is one of the few people who were able to defy the gravity of Earth at least for more than ten minutes. You know, inside a rocket which shot into outer space, where in Space you start thinking, "Where is gravity now, bitch?" It must have been a wonderful experience for Man to be able to step out of Earth's bitching gravity and can feel themselves floating, other than those machines which are meant to be in space like satellites, spaceships and Curiosity.

  Damn... I really wanna experience the freedom of moving in more than 360 degrees in direction. Like, I wanna be able to move more than just front, back, left and right. I wanna travel up and down, without escalators, stairs and lifts. Like, jumping really high and still can control my direction mid-air, and down without actually hurting myself. The wonders of freedom. The wonders of defying gravity. How I envy the space-people, as well as those little shit-bombing assholes. I just want to feel how it is like to actually defy gravity myself...

  My holidays have already started. As expected, I find myself at a loss of what to do. I am also starting to regret quitting my part-time job as a sushi waiter. If only I hadn't, my personal wealth could easily have been four times what I have right now. Maybe more. But then, even if I do retain my part-time occupation, will I still be as motivated as right now? Would I still have the amount of energy I have everyday? Maybe I should pick up guitar lessons, or cooking lessons. But then, can I afford it? Do I have the dedication to it?

  I kinda regret not actually taking any CCA. I tried out so many, but just cannot find the ideal one for me. Okay... Even if there was a CCA that "fits" me, it is still very competitive nonetheless. So competitive that you never know your life is already on the line just to have your bit of 'fun'. The one CCA which I really hoped to get into, but failed almost miserably, is dance. As in Hip-Hop dance. As mentioned some time ago, my audition went pretty badly, and I doubt I can really lift my head up high for what I did in the audition...

  If only there was a chance for me to be able to stay out of the ground for more than 5 seconds... Even better: Maybe some time in the future, I might get my own chance to travel to the Moon on some kind of expedition with some others. I must admit... Being kept from one's aspirations because of circumstances is pretty agonizing.
