As i was driving back from Penang yesterday i speed up than my normal speed limit.. all i could think about is to reach home before 10pm.. And as i was speeding, cilok here and there... i suddenly realize something. I live my life in a fast lane..

I couldnt remember when's the time i sit back, be thankful for what i have and enjoy the slow phase in my life. As a teenager, i long to grow up fast so i dont have to listen to my parents. Years has past and to me my teenage life is like a blink of an eye.. i miss it... now im thinking why do i want to grow up that fast?
Same goes when im in college, cant wait to work coz i see working people are cool & they are able to get stuff that they wanted without reasoning to their parents why they need money to buy things. Again i wish i cld work full time...
After graduating, and now working... i wake up in the morning, 1st thing i cld think about is work.. neglecting that i should give thanks to the Lord for giving me another chance to live my life and im fortunate to life a life that is comfortable.
Everything that we want now is fast, fast and fast.. if there's before panadol, now there's panadol active fast.. If before bank loan take 2 weeks to process.. now most bank take 48 hours to approve loan.. even our computer speed... 1 minute downloading feels like forever.. why??
What are we chasing? And why are we pushing ourself too hard? Look at kids nowdays.. they want to grow up fast.. drinking/smoking/ sexual intercourse such in a young age.. Ok kids i know im getting old.. I dont have handphone when i grow up like you guys now..
Work deadline, everything is fast fast fast... pushing each other to be fast...and at the end causing ourselves stress... life in fast lane is good but sometimes we just need to slow down, sit down and reflect... what are we chasing actually?
