City Boy

I don't like crowd. This can be interpreted as, when i see some crowds gather to watch a performance like say in the mall, I will be the first to walk in opposing direction. (Exceptions -no doubt- for clubs, countdown parties which u get to hug people.. especially gay events =p)

But the irony is i like people, and i dun mean alternative to animals, i mean in terms of living in a city like Singapore, where there a high volumes of people everywhere. I enjoy being one of the people walking in the crowded mall or train interchange. Enjoy the vibe of crowds around, each doing their own things... But no so much when i hav to wait for seats at eateries.. but well, its a trade off.

Beaches, small towns (like ipoh) are still very appealing to me.. especially after some major incidents. Those places are perfect places for healing a weary body or mind or even, a broken heart. But only for a short period to recharge. I still dun see myself fitting into those peaceful simple life, yet.

I was in this small city in US, Richmond, VA. That's the first city i lived in the US. The first question i posted on fb when i visited their so called downtown was, "where r the people!?". It was only when i was in New York City, when my dad took me to Time Square that finally i was yelling, "Yes!!! This is USA!!! Woohoo!!!!!" . Well, i mean i do enjoy the life in Richmond, quiet, spacious apartments, slow pace, but its too quiet.. City on the other hand is complicated, fast pace and pressurizing. But it gives u a kinda of drive, a kind of energy, youthful and vibrant feeling. Guess we can just never have the best of both worlds right?

I have a friend who is 3 year younger, to him, the ideal life is to have a stable job back in his hometown in Sabah. He doesnt find life in sg so attractive. Which makes me thinks its no so much about age either.. More of the person itself.

So there, a material boy, a City Boy.
