pls look at this when youre 28!!

i have this poster on my wall that talks about the "29 Ways to Stay Creative".
but i've really yet to do any of the 29 things! pushing things back and back because i dont wanna deal with them now isn't the right way to handle anything.

well, im gonna do one of them now! in fact, the numero uno: make lists!


LIST OF THINGS I WANNA BE ABLE TO SAY TO MYSELF WHEN I'M 28

1. "i hope that's not cellulite."
pls, just jog till you die if you have to ok.

2. "you're great at loving." (nope, not talking about sex)
there's a reason why youve been put on the planet, and you're fulfilling it.

3. "what amazing discipline you have!"
unlike now.

4. "what?! you sell sketches at bazaars and donate profits to charity as a hobby?!"
cryscryscrys

5. "what?! you mastered the guitar AND the piano?!"
pat on the back, my friend.

6. "what?! you had lasik and now your eyesight's no longer godawful?!"
yay technology.

7. "what?! youre an activist?! in SINGAPORE?!"
rmb csikszentmihalyi's system perspective of creativity in NM3224.

8. "you're taking great care of your parents."
cos mom and dad really deserve the best.

9. "when you have the choice to sit it out or dance... i hope you dance."
even when people are watching. cos if not life will be boring.


i added a number 10 on 11/11/12. shit yesterday was 101112?! i forgot about it!

10. be a rebel.
being a rebel doesnt mean you go against society. it means you dont let your doubts, your laziness and your excuses knock you down. it just so happens that sometimes, these doubts are projections of society's influence on you.


& to do this, seems to be the hardest of all.
