I'm Just Different

Just recently,I realised that my way of life...or say some of the things that I do contradicts the way of life of a 21st-century teen.I a person who lives his life by having fun to the max.I'm not bothered by what others say to me as long what I'm doing is not really hurting others.

Living in the 21st-century,I'm one of the few guys around who are not really amazed by technological advancements.I never really wanted a hand phone until I started joining my athletics training.Back then when I first joined the training,I was travelling by bus very often.I needed a phone in case my coach changed the venue for training.So,when the need really arose,I persuaded my parents to get me a phone.

I'm also not really interested in computer or Play Station games.I don't mind playing those games once in a while in my friends house but not once have I asked my parents to get me one.I used to play games last time but now I just don't mind blogging and facebook-ing when I switch on my computer.

Other than the high-tech games,I don't really like air-conditioners......weird isn't it?Nowadays,most human beings long for air-conditioners in places they go....office,restaurant,car and even at home.For me,I don't really like being in an air-conditioned room for a long time.I'm only comfortable for a few hours in an air-conditioned room.After that,I feel little uneasy.I feel like I'm breathing in polluted air(well...I guess it must be polluted with carbon dioxide).I seriously prefer fresh air compared to "cold-air".If I don't seem to like all these high-tech things,then what do I actually like????

I love old-boys hobby like collecting stamps and coins.It is seriously very hard to find active stamp or coin collectors these day.This situation makes it very difficult for me to exchange my extra stamps and coins with others.So,my only source of collection is when my parents go for overseas trips and return with a few stamps and coins.It seems like such an old-fashioned hobby but I like collecting items like stamps and coins and then view them when I'm free.It gives me self-satisfaction and helps me to recall childhood memories.

I also love something that we should rightfully be protecting now......nature.I love going out every morning and breathing in the fresh morning breeze which blows with the smell of the wonderful Sun.I like viewing trees and their wonderful leaves which vary in shape and size.I love staring at fish swimming playfully in the depths of the pond.I enjoy viewing birds chirping to the music of nature.I love nature because I imagine nature as green.....which is my favourite colour.

I know I might be a little different than other boys or teenagers.People have told me before but I can't seem to think of life without the things I do now.For me,the key of living a happy life is to accept every one's individual talents or interest as long it is not harmful to others.I try my very best to accept differences in others so that I will remain a very good friend to all the friends I have.I feel sad that only a handful of people actually accept differences in others with an open mind.I just hope that others will learn to accept individuality and learn to live together,while striving towards a happy and healthy life..................
