I’ve been doing some thinking of myself late – why am I the way I am, while contemplating my attitude towards studying. Dwelling into some thoughts, I find that most of the male ancestors exhibit similar traits.
My uncle skips class to go fishing.
My dad, while studying in one of the top schools in KL sleeps in class.
My grandfather loves getting his hands dirty with craft and recreational activities.
My cousin brother lives as though he’s never had a near death experience (he almost died when a car rammed into him, really really hard, while cycling).
Looks like I’m a mix of everything above. I skip class, I am mentally asleep in class (sadly, gone were the days I actually dare to sleep in class), I love doing anything but studying and I defy death (not worried about handing up work late).
After exhibiting all these traits, I really thank God for bringing me where I am now.. with the undeserving grades I get.
Perhaps it is a very Voon thing – to be in God’s favour =)
*ps: This entry is not meant to bang all the male members of my family. Instead – treat it as a compliment!
