Oh exams...oh how much I hate you...haha...

Currently taking a break [a long break] from studying. And you know what I learnt? Life SUX haha...

Okay okay...enough ranting...

Well lets see now...recently as I'm studying I tend to listen to the radio to get my mind off things...and well there was this story that really...hmm...dunno how to describe...its just a story that questions people's goal in life.

It goes something like this,

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman living on an island. Everyday he would catch some fishes, go back home. Spend the day chatting with friends and the nights on long walks on the beach with his wife. One day a young scholar came to this island on holiday. He too decided to go fishing. However no matter how hard he tried, he just could not get a good catch. While for the fisherman, even though all he had was a small net...he always came back with a good catch. One day the scholar couldn't stand it any longer, he went up to the fisherman and asked how come he could catch fish so well. The fisherman simply said that it was because he knew the area well.

The scholar then suggested he start his own fishing company, the fisherman simply replied with a question, "Then what?"

"Then you can earn enough money to expand your company. Buy more boats, hire more people." he replied.

"Then what?" the fisherman asked again.

"Then you can go to ammerica to expand your company even further! And make alot alot of money!"

"Then what?"

"Well...once you have earned money you can retire to an island. Maybe fish for fun? Chat with friends all day? Spend romantic moments with your wife during the night?"

The fisherman grinned when he heard that, and replied in a questioning tone, "Isn't that my life now?"


THE END

Sighs...was there ever a time you felt like just lying down and die? Well anyways...I've been thinking of writing a new different story...I'll post more about it when I have the chance...for now...I just feel like dying...
