I haven’t lived my life in regretful ways. I could say I had averagely done my best in life: getting the right friends, getting the right educations, getting the right laptops, getting the right cell phones (all is probably exaggerated).

It doesn’t mean that I always get the best in life. My friends are not definitely the best. (TS is a pedophile. MA is a pee-in-a-bottle person. GC is a little bit too good at accounting. R is pervert. ETC)

And MIT is surely much better than my college. But I’d say that I went to my college without regret. Now, if I look back to times I have spent in that college, with friends and everything, I’d say that I don’t regret that I didn’t go the NTU or MIT instead (speaking like I ever had any chance in gettin into any of those.. lol).

I’d say the same about pretty much everything. I put what belongs to the past in the past. Regretting is getting me nowhere.

But if I had given the chance to change something in my life, there would be some several of these:

1.Change my name

I would gladly have a surname! Officially I am registered without any surname.

This has been a source of problem to me especially administratively. Imagine you discuss about someone in a scene like this.

“ Do you remember Rudy? The one that’s excessively handsome back in the high school”

“Which one? There are 3 Rudys back in high school. Which Rudy?”

“Aah, he doesn’t have any surname!”

Bug me…

But well enough, people sometimes know me by nickname and recently by the name I added myself for distinguishing myself. But it doesn’t help when I have to deal with things like buying things online, applying for Visa, opening new bank accounts, etc.

2.Change my birth date on my birth certificate

Not many people know this, but I have different birthday date. I was actually born one month earlier than the date stated in my birth certificate. It has something to do with my parents’ fault in late registering my date.

Imagine a scene like this.

… I was visiting a foreign country alone. I met a friend who was in the same batch with me during out training days in Singapore. And we were booked in the same hotel so we went quite frequently together for dinner. I would sometimes take my passport out to ease the space in my pocket. He would take a look and make a mental note that my birthday, the official but not a true one, was coming near.

In the untrue official birthday, he surprised me by buying a cake, in getting which, I know, would have cost him quite some trouble. He didn’t speak the country’s language, and the countrymen spoke little English. And he brought all the candles and birthday paper crown. And he lighted the candles for you and made me make wishes and blow all the candles. What was I supposed to say? That it was not my birthday? That it was a month ago?

It is a true story.

3.My friends

I’m kidding. LOL

4.My parents

LOL. I sometimes imagine what if I were born out of a super wealthy family. I could and would do so much in life that I hadn’t had chance to. Like, owning a Super Nintendo during childhood, going yachting, had a superhuge house, had an early knowledge on sex practice (wrong, i DID know it early), etc.

But I love my parents. They’re the best. And if I had lived differently, I wouldn’t have this awesome character as I am having right now. lol

5.Enough!
