Wishing On A Star

Did you know that it depends on the angle that you are looking from that determines the amount of stars that we see? Our Solar System is actually on the far edge of the galaxy- which is shaped like a disc. If you are looking towards a certain angle, you'll be facing the main body of the galaxy. Thus, you see a bigger stripe of stars.

I love learning about all this little things. Makes me feel so small compared to this huge universe we are in. I find this good because then I realise, Hey, the world doesn't revolve around you, it has many other things to worry about-so stop complaining.

I used to have such a passion for space and physics. I remembered reading about astrophysics and what their job is about from this science book my dad bought. It was actually for himself because he had a hard time trying to teach me science in Malay. :/

The job description said something on the lines of- figuring out how the stars and planets in space work. And I just thought, that would be the coolest job in the world. I was also, 10.

I sometimes regret not furthering this passion of mine. Reality kinda sunk in around Form 5. How the hell would I ever work for NASA? How in heck would I even find work here? Would I even pass high school, enough to still continue in science later on? People keep telling me it will be hard, will it?

I think I gave up to soon. Knowing me, if I worked hard enough, I would be able to pursue it. I love thinking analytically and analysing situations. I prefer logic and cold hard facts. I don't really like the idea of subjectivity, things that are too open to interpretation and abstract ideas. For me, things had to have one definite answer and that was it.

Weird how in the end, I followed my feelings instead of my thoughts. Well, I won't know if this was the better choice for me..until I become the owner of a multi-billion dollar corporation! But so far, IT'S ALL GOOD.
