Time Machine




If I could talk to my twenty-year old self, this is what I would tell him:

1. Do not worry too much about love. You have nothing to worry about because you're okay.

2. Read more books. You'll hardly have time to read when you start working.

3. Start saving up. It's never too early to save up for your dream trip and house and car.

4. Hold on to your college friends. It's hard to find real friends at work. And you'll need them to get different perspectives in life. Your work colleagues know you too well or too little--they're not going to be your best friends.

5. Enjoy college. Taking up Masters degree is not as fun as finishing your undergrad degree. 

6. Drink less coffee and beer.

7. Never, ever fall in love with a straight guy or any guy who could be gay but would not admit it. That's going to cause you too much heartache.

8. Stop making mp3 copies on blank CDs. They'll be outdated. You will end up deleting half of your music library when you realize that you really just want to listen to songs that you immediately liked. Don't buy too many pirated DVDs. You'll be able to download them all soon.

9. Play more video games. Stay young at heart.

10. Don't stop blogging.

  1. This is lovely! haha I'm going through this whole introspect-till-you're-apeshit-crazy phase. Listened to Pink's Conversations with my 13 year old self and since then, I've been curious about what other people would say to their younger versions.

    #8: Amen! haha I have a gazillion MP3 cds at home and it's so hard to look through them so I just download again. haha

  3. Kudos to #3! Start saving and putting your money to market, study stocks and asset management while you're still young. :)

  4. Thanks, Leo. That's one of my greatest regrets.. not saving up earlier.
