Why is it I get mad at people who like the same things I do.
To be specific, if they start to like it way after I do (sometimes this even extends to years)
Perhaps.
It's because people make a big deal out of it.
Some make it into a trend.
Like.
When I picked up guitar just before Secondary One.
No one was playing at the time.
Or at least, no one made noise about it.
Then a few people knew I play, and wanted to learn to.
So yeah, I showed what I knew, even though I wasn't very good then.
(And because I was lazy, I still ain't that good now)
And eventually, everyone started buying guitars, bringing it to school, etc etc.
Then, boom, everyone has a new band they're raving about.
The best part is, people requested for me to be part of their band.
As their BASSIST.
Thanks ah.
I picked up guitar so that I could play bass.
(No disrespect to bass players out there. I just don't like to play it)
But anyway, I got sick of the whole thing.
That's when, the adventure side appeared.
2003. First summit at Ophir.
And so, I abandoned my artsy side.
And yeah.
I think people tried to follow.
The camp at Taman Negara was probably proof of that.
Alot of people tried to be heroes in the forests. Things like that.
Which reminds me, a few people were selected to go for the OBS course.
And they were all people who were on extremely good terms with a certain teacher who was the one doing the selection. That got me mad as hell, as you would expect. =)
Anyhoo.
That trend never materialized I guess.
My school. Most were probably caught up in entertainment, dressing up, music, etc etc.
Few outdoor enthusiasts.
Which is good news for me.
Because the conclusion for all this is, I hate it when things I love to do are made into trends.
However, I definitely won't stop sharing my love for the outdoors.
Hey. I'm using the ST3PS model well okay.
Labels: of trends.
will YOU be my escape?
