do you know that life is unfair?

say it isn't so...

last weekend was definitely interesting, not that much different than my other weekends but it was rather uncanny. i got the chance to meet quite a number of old and new friends. you know when you meet old friends you always compare them to your current friends, their oldselves and eventually yourselves. of course from all sorts of aspects; from how they look now, how successful they are and even how attractive *or probably not :p* their significant others are *IF you happen to meet them with that special other person*

and so i bump into this old friend i was quite close to at the beginning of my college life on saturday. he didn't really change much since that time i suppose. that's the thing. he didn't change much since i last saw him, which was about two years ago. he was still simple in his simple t-shirt and jeans. i hate to say this but there was nothing really strikingly special about him. even his girlfriend was "simple"(?)

not long after that my friend planned a rendezvouz with her friendster's friend. odd huh? to meet someone annonymously from the internet. well you maybe kind of know how he looks but other than that i suppose you are limited to how decent this person wants to project himself online or probably it has to come down to how honest this "25/m jkt" individual wants to be.

my first impression has got to be "wealthy", this person oozes out cash from every pores of his body. he has that aura that says "i'm a successful young person". have you met that kind of people before? come to indonesia, i'll bring you to the hippest mall in town and you'll be saying "one of the poorest countries in the world my foot!" after further conversation with his friends, we realized that these people come from a pretty rich background.

"life's unfair"

i suppose life is like a whole ladder climbing competition but the catch is that not everyone starts from 0. some people start from 3, 5 or even 9? unfair you say? it's just how life is. we always attempt to climb as many stairs as we can by studying, working or even marrying the right people *haha* but the fact is not everyone can have the chance to go all the way up to 10.

what about us? where are we now? are we a 5? a 7? a 1? or maybe a 2 trying to lie to ourselves that we are an 8? for now i think i don't really bother where i am, i just want to climb as many "stairs" i can and grab as many chances as i can. and about that small little part regarding "marrying the right people", ermm....anyone up for it? *grin*
