A few weeks ago, I came across this man.
A man who I had no background with, all I knew was, he was an insurance agent.
And that he's related to a person that I've trusted with my life.
We hit it off fairly quickly with the "You can drop the formalities" issues.
And his life, reflected my own, in a similar yet not so similar fashion.
He was a man without much to worry about.
The chinese saying "Bu Chou Chi, Bu Chou Chuan."
For the cheena idiots "Don't need to worry bout clothings and food"
Which means don't have to worry about a living.
He was similar to me in that way.
But he was a spendthrift, and a crazy one at that.

I Thought I Was Thrifty:
With my way of spending, I felt I was pretty good already.
Until the day this man came across my mother.
Together with a broken bone, the one line that would carry me to the end of my life.
"You're born with a silver spoon".

I Never Realized:
That all this while, while I was working, sometimes going as much as 2k a month.
And studying, there was a subtle difference between me and everyone else in there.
These people were forced to watch their money closely, maintaining their budget.
I never had worries, sometimes, I'd save, sometimes, I'll just overshot.
And when that happens? My backup plan comes.
Mother, father.
Ultimately, I always had a way out of situations.
Sticky situations? I never probably got into one.
Everything was planned for me, I could waste my life off without a worry.
It's not about flashing a Mercedes or BMW on the road.
It's not about living the luxurious life of a millionaire.
But I was still "Silver Spooned"

The Time Is Not Yet Right:
It seems that I am not yet ready to begin my life of responsibility.
One that I will eventually walk into, and take on the role of my parents.

The Art Of Convincing:
It really astonishes me how buddies like JH and Jacky can keep screaming at me about my future time and again.
But I could never really see myself planning that far, and saving.
I was spoilt, nonetheless.
But that one line that just simply came out of this guy's mouth.
Sent me well on my way to prepare for that road that I will eventually walk on.
Responsibility.
I see more reason to live for now.
