Sales sales sales everywhere... Darn.
Sorry about not continuing my promised blog of travel (who m i promising to anyway?) but i can't help but divert the whole theme into the GSS: Great Singapore Sale.
The top-selling newspaper I Want to Mind Your Business reports:
Upon the arrival of the GSS, Girls all over the country have been sighted sharpening their nails, honing their dash-speed, practicing their pulling skills, all to get ready for a Sales-Sighting-Bargain-Buying Spree.
An exclusive interview with our world-famous GSS analyst, Jamien Tanner promptly informs the people of Singapore to prepare themselves for a hell of a GSC (Great Singapore Catfight), in honour of the GSS.
She quotes:
"What's happening here is a phenomenon. People from all over the world should read about this. We should be thankful for this aggressive energy from the 'lesser sex'. With this stupendous craze going on, Sales are being made, estimation of at least 50-100 sales of goods per second. Goods regardless of whether they are good or bad. The women takes them all, due to the mystical effect of the word 'sales' hanging at the entrance of the shops.This way, all those unwanted goods that are obsolete and would end up undeservingly in the rubbish chute for recycle, can all be saved and all will be well again.. Reports of shops throwing the unwanted into the sea and other places would be greatly reduced. Help Save the Earth. Pollution be gone.. Let us all rejoice. Let us all hail to the God of Sales!! To clear the shops of the unwanted goods. To clear space for the Newer goods to arrive!! Hail to the God of Sales!!!"
okok.. so i admit. this is a whole load of bull tt i have juz planted right smack in this blog of mine. But I was trying to prove a point. (to nobody, since nobody reads this blog. *guffaws*)
Sales is undescribably the both good and bad essence required by the female human being. actually, both female n male needs it. juz tt the female tends to have an enhanced version.
For an example of the bad essence in Sales:
I went out with Marc Boi last nite, was totally uninterested in the surroundings as we were strolling along the stretch of orchard boulevard, nothing tt we haven not seen before. but the evil sales took effect when I happen to tilt my head to the left and saw IT.
The word SALES evolved as it hit me.
I dragged my poor boyfren into the store n started foraging for good bargains within the tiny store. I nvr realised tat I still haven't had the resistence to Sales.
Anyways, saw the my favourite tees, a couple of my fave colours and I was blown away. Tried on, was ok i think, tried to calm myself down n think. The storekeeper announced the closing time, and the store was frantically in chaos. Everyone else pulling and grabbing watever they can n go pay. My bored-to-tears boyfren glared at me n the 2 tees i was holding tightly onto. I anxiously glanced at the price. 14->10. No more time to think. The storekeeper glared at me n looked at her watch. ok. buy.
i bought those 2 tees n once at home, went about trying them on. shit. i spotted a few similar tees hiding in the dark corner of my wardrobe. ARGH. juz as i suspected. i bought the same thing juz 1 mth back. -_-
Yes. Above is 1 harmful effect of the Sales. Such power was over me as it dragged me into the store, to even contemplate buying things tt i already have or dun require.
But the good only comes into effect, when u spot the thing tt u had been eyeing for months and haven got it cos it was too bloody expensive, now in a sale right before your eyes. But the sale effect can turn into bad in mere margins, if it happens so to have the thing u wan in a different color or size or any other differences.
So to u all bargain-hunters preparing for action in the GSS.
Beware.
Well, to speak of the male instinct in sales, it normally only happens when in the technology dept. Electronics, gadgets, cars.... u get the picture. Enuf said. I shall state an example with my boyfren who in fact is so typical as a gadget-loving guy.
We happen to walk past this stupid booth in orchard with flyers of offers for Digital Cam, n Marc couldn't ignore it n we ended up in Best Denki to check things out. HAIZ. Tat was it. No further elaboration needed. He bought it. He's happy. N broke.
The things tat Sale makes us all succumb to.
Now tt my pay is here again. Will have to guard my purse well... Amidst the everlasting sale season.....

Holiday fever.
Hankering for a short holiday with Marc Boi in the June school holidays, along with so many students taking their deserved breaks.
Wat did i say? Yes, I said June School Holidays that are totally out of my league.
Indeed.
I covet it.
As much as i yearn for the Dec holidays. It is probably lost to me forever.. sigh. I wish i'm 18 and in poly again. haiz...
oh no... make it 12 where i can retake my PSLE and get into a good high school... n go JC.. n then Uni...
But I guess with different efforts, opens up different routes, brings u to different places, n yields different results. The last I saw of my primary school frens going into prestigious high schools, and most of them ended up in Universities. I guess it's kinda the norm for most pple my age. to go JC then Uni. either tt, or they walk my route, go poly n end up working earlier but of cos, it comes of a lower pay.
I have wondered many times of wat would have happened if i was to take the other path. Sure, one can still go to Uni after completing their studies in Poly. But take note, unless u can get real pple-wowing results, or as newly stated, with pple-wowing talents tat the university can tap into, if not, u better be born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
Why, u ask?
Well, cos the local Us are definitely not going for charity as in taking pple who did averagely in their poly modules. These pple (like me) will have to turn to distanced studying in local institutes or the OVERSEAS which everyone else wans to go.
Once again, I'll have to be a wet blanket n filter the rest of us(yes, me included) to the sad, miserable bunch who can't afford an overseas education on our own. Come on, don't tell me u trust the government to give each n everyone one of us the $$ to go overseas to study?! Naive.
Noo No.. We have to turn to the distanced learning in the local institutes which are not say bad, or anything. but again, the bad news, though u pay the same amount of $$, the recognised level of these distanced studying degrees compared to the degrees u get in local Unis are of different grades. Sad. But true.
Things could have been so much different. If i have learnt the values of the PAPER (certificates) earlier n studied as hard as i could have. Well, each to it's own i guess. I probably would have forgone this path which i was meant to take... HAha.. kidding. Up till now, I have no idea which I m more suited to take. Haiz. it happens.
OKOK. juz realised tt i have strayed too much from my original topic of travelling n oso, it's my time to leave the bloody ofice. shld really go soon. dun wanna work an extra hr right now.
too hungry... need food...

Here's something i received from an email. I think it's true n pple in their 20s shld really read this:
Twenty-something"
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is
when you stop going along with the crowd and
start realising that there are many things about
yourself that you didn't know and may not like.
You start feeling insecure and wonder where you
will be in a year or two, but then get scared
because you barely know where you are now.
You start realising that people are selfish and
that, maybe, those friends that you thought you
were so close to aren't exactly the greatest
people you have ever met, and the people you have
lost touch with are some of the most important
ones. What you don't recognise is that they are
realising that too, and aren't really cold,
catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as
confused as you.
You look at your job...and it is not even close
to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe
you are looking for a job and realising that you
are going to have to start at the bottom and that
scares you.
Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what
others are doing and find yourself judging more
than usual because suddenly you realise that you
have certain boundaries in your life and are
constantly adding things to your list of what is
acceptable and what isn't.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next,
secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force
of your life. You feel alone and scared and
confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you
try and cling on to the past with dear life, but
soon realise that the past is drifting further
and further away, and there is nothing to do but
stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone
you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay
in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone
decent enough that you want to get to know
better.
Or maybe you love someone but love someone else
too and cannot figure out why you are doing this
because you know that you aren't a bad person.
One nightstands and random hook ups start to look
cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot
starts to look pathetic. You go through the same
emotions and questions over and over, and talk
with your friends about the same topics because
you cannot seem to make a decision.
You worry about loans, money, the future and
making a life for yourself...and while winning
the race would be great, right now you'd just
like to be a contender!
What you may not realise is that everyone reading
this relates to it.
We are in our best of times and our worst of
times, trying as hard as we can to figure this
whole thing out.

Dedicated to my dear Cousin Mandy aka XiJia (in a totally non-sarcastic way)
ok. i shall drop the "Dear Blog" thingy... in courtesy of my cousin.
Juz an hour ago or so, i was DAMN upset, DAMN pissed off. By this cousin of mine. I totally couldn't understand Y she was so fucking upset over this stupid dinner which (i have to emphasize it once again) Me, Desmond, n Lester were coerced into paying for, in other words, treat. WE, didn't really view it as a TAY SISTERS' UNIT kinda gathering. so we went along with it, thinking tt it was a Desmond-Lester-TheirDad-7thAunt-Jessica-Mom-Dad-Me kind of dinner. cos that's wat we were there for. all is well until, my mom suddenly called up all the aunties............. ok. been thru this already. u shld know. Conclusion here: My Mom's the culprit.
Back to the dedication. I dropped a few comments on Mandy's blog. still abit emotionally unstable there. Yes me. She blasted me thru her Blog and I was so hurt becoz i had hoped tt she would have toned down her fire power.
Then I suddenly realised tt wat she was totally mad about was the way the sisters actually complained n criticised about her. nvr really giving good comments about her. I have for more than once tried to ask them to back off. but i guess, it's a very bad habit tt they have which they cannot for once get rid of. I suppose most moms have tt sort of idiotic problems.
Like take for example:
Mom sees Cousin doin a card for cousin's mom on mother's day.
Mom goes home expectin mom's daughter to make card for her too.
Mom finds no card.
Mom gets fucking pissed off thinking,"why she dun love me?"
Cousin's Mom tells mom happily tt cousin made card for mother's day.
Mom have no card to show off.
Mom either
(1)complains to cousin's mom n cousin's mom spreads word.
(2)scolds mom's daughter for not loving her.
Eventually, the daughter ends up fucking pissed rite??
Parents n adults, alwaz, nvr fails to look at all our faults and nvr lool at wat good we have done.
In Mandy's case, becoz u tend to be quieter during family gatherings, the Tay sisters hold it against u as they think u r like damn arrogant and u look down at them and dun even wan to talk to them. middle-aged adults esp have a tendency to be so much more sensitive, n we as young pple who can tolerate more nonsense shld be more careful in treading these danger zones.(in my opinion tt is)
Furthermore, by not smiling too often, they are taking it like u r pissed with them. so even if u dun mean it, they will feel threatened and try to sting u with their critisms which they think tt are right for u. which in turn causes the anger war going on til now.
still with me? ok.
Another pt here, is tt they really dun have the habit of telling good stuffs to anyone younger than them. They cannot bring themselves to praise their children, nephews and niece directly. Don't ask me. I dunno Y oso. guess it's just that conservative thingy.
Like for example,
Jia did damn good in her O'levels.(for old times' sake)
Min did not do as well for her Os.
Min's Mom praised Jia for outstanding results NOT IN FRONT OF JIA BUT IN FRONT OF MIN n scolded Min for the bad results.
Min was originally jealous of Jia being able to get into a Girls' school, and now, becoz of MOM's constant praising of Jia in front of Min (but not in front of Jia), Min becomes demoralised and pissed off at Mom for not being supportive of her instead at times like these.
Jia continues her everyday life without ever knowing tt Mom was praising her and Min was jealous of her.
This continues till the next "bad" thing that either Jia or Min did.
Then the cycle continues.
Another example (shorter) would be when my mom told me tt u want to get a cake for yr mom, i assume she knows tt u love yr mom already. Yes she does think tt u love yr mom. cos she was hinting me n Jessica about the mothers' day. but the next moment i dunno wat happened oso, yr mom called to say she's not going (in the 1st place i didn't know she was going), then my mom assumes tt it's u who goes out on mother's day, leaves yr mom alone n dun care about her. ok. i can sense anger reading this paragraph. the Tays love to manipulate words even if they are not true.
Somehow, i think the problem oso arises becos moms love to show off their children's achievements and filial piety. it's kinda of their trophy i guess.
As the both of us are of the same age and living in Singapore, Most comparisons evolve ard u n me. Yes. I do have my fair share of sarcastisim n criticism from the Tays. perhaps less these days.
U shld know how they alwaz blame me for almost everything that went wrong when we were young. back then, everyone assumes tt u r the angel and i m the devil. u fall down, everyone blames me. tt sort of thing.
But i guess, due to my family, esp my mom, had gruelled me into this play-doh. i can't take too much critism like u can stand up to them. I'm weak, feeble... One thing the family nvr know about me is tt i'm prone to tears whenever someone criticises me. So being a play-doh is totally the thingy for me to survive in this family. Wat the family wans i'll try n be watever they wan. it's in my blood now. Not tt I nvr tried to stand up to them, cos i really did. but the thing is i ended up crying.
Who really wans to be a moldable person?? I would definitely love to be a person who has her own mind set on something n will go all out to attain tt. Someone who saes wat she feels n blah. But it's juz not me. Unless to the closest thing or pple i'm with. At least, I nvr suck up, i merely try n put things across in the best light tt i could. i would nvr tell an ugly person straight like,"u r the fucking ugliest person tt i have ever seen." or even a simple "u r ugly."
NO. Tt'll totally cramp my style. ok. not style. pattern.
I m more likely to say, "wow, u have nice toes." or "hey, that's an awful nice dress u have there."
If that's sucking up to u, have it yr way man. u r entitled yr own opinions. to me, it's a way of communication n my policy is to be nice.
perhaps, there r times i can be abit crude. maybe somewhat crude. but i'll end up damn guilty, believe it or not.
ok. enuf about the play-doh gal.
I know tt u r nice in yr own way, cute (well, not really Boo-material u know..), and no longer the renegade tt u used to be. But I see u shutting yrself from all the Tays and they in turn, tries to pry open yr world, ending up poking u all over, so much so tt u wan to scream n shout n even KILL them. Maybe u dun realise it. but i think their opinions of u do matter to u yrself. cos in my case, when i was so down with their stinging critisms n bad light of me, all i wanted to do was to make them all love me for who i was n not constantly putting me down.
The Tays for sure do not know how to make pple feel better. only feel worst.
They wan for us to be wat they envision is ultimate goodness. and We'll probably rise up to heaven and stuffs. But little do they know wat damage they r doing to us. making us feel watever our efforts, all down the drain.
Of cos, i would hope for them to be more compromising rather us doing tt all the time. but it'll be tough.
okok. this is getting too bloody long. i have to get out of my office now. byez. hope u read it. thanks. n dun get mad if that's not wat u feel. cos tt's basically wat i think.

Thoroughly MISUNDERSTOOD. STILL.
Dear Blog.
I have no idea Y i have to actually go about convincing this cousin of mine tat I really have no idea the dinner really wasn't my idea. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea Y I was labelled a Bootlicker who sucks up to her aunties and relatives. Wat for do I wan to do tt??
Not tt i haven tried explaining myself. I have left notes in her comments box in her blog, anxious to clear my name. But in vain.
U know wat she replied?!?! *haiz* i really dunno wat to say now.
She replied with something like, "watever. i dun care a damn. i expected u to say this."
Wat?! I nvr would have expected her to be so stubborn n not even try n understand my situation?!?!?!
ok.. i mean she has all along been very stubborn BUT, I really was hoping for some understanding from her, if not a little. After so many yrs of r/ship as one of her closest cousin, i would definitely expect her to at least come demand "WAT THE hell was tt??", rather than blast me from the comfort of her blog n not even bother to try understand my situation n intentions when i try to explain, juz shutting me from her life. GREAT.
I didn't even intended my gesture (dinner treat) as wat she viewed my intention to be. No, I'm totally not trying to suck to them. My mom just wanted to treat all her sisters to dinner.
DO U GET IT?!?!?! I didn't even know who were comin for the dinner cos all along I tot it was juz Lester's family n Mine. IT's TT SIMPLE!!!BLOODY SHIT.
To sum it up, we're both fighting over something tat is not even there in the first place!!!
In turn, I'm getting irritated. Here I am trying to patch things up with her, n there is the other side where all the other aunts assuming tt she is being rebellious to her mom, n are expecting me to reform her. (No, they dun know tt we are fighting.) This is too much for me to handle.
I need a break...
Oh sorry, I need to get back to work now.
I have no idea Y i have to actually go about convincing this cousin of mine tat I really have no idea the dinner really wasn't my idea. I have ABSOLUTELY no idea Y I was labelled a Bootlicker who sucks up to her aunties and relatives. Wat for do I wan to do tt??
Not tt i haven tried explaining myself. I have left notes in her comments box in her blog, anxious to clear my name. But in vain.
U know wat she replied?!?! *haiz* i really dunno wat to say now.
She replied with something like, "watever. i dun care a damn. i expected u to say this."
Wat?! I nvr would have expected her to be so stubborn n not even try n understand my situation?!?!?!

The MAD Singapore Idol craze.
hey ya.. wadup? nothing really.
it's juz kinda crazy these days. with the hype-up about the Singapore idol, and privately, family feuds... if only the whole epi can be sung out n resolved by William Hung who makes everything bloody funny. ok. sorry. it's corny.
oh ya. regarding the family feuds. can't blame my cousins for disliking the MOMs aka the Tay Sisters. I do too. They are a bunch of arrogant, Complain-Queens, violent (esp my mom), narcissistic women who like nothing better than to talk about their lives, their kids (us), and wat their kids are going to do or have done. like take for example, the ever-commercialised mother's day:
Mom aka 3rd Tay Sister, relished the remembrance of wat they did in the past for their mom aka POPO. I was there harmlessly sipping my drink n suddenly felt the sinister glare, which i turned n noticed MOM staring at me, menacingly. how can i not notice?? With chills down my spine, i knew wat was on her mind (Y I dun have a CELEBRATION?!?!?!), n i slowly put down my drink n asked her if she wanted to have a dinner treat as a family celebration for mothers' day. *NOTE: I meant the 4 of us kind. Me, sis, Dad n the star of the day, her.*she said tt she din wan cos to eat out on Mother's day would be too expensive n crowded as it is overly-commerciallised ou there.
i hid my relieved sigh as i resumed sipping the drink.
Then later tt day, whilst i was happily shopping at Zouk's Flea mkt, I received a phone call from my cousin Lester asking me to share a Mothers' day dinner treat. Obviously, the poor boy was cornered to take out his (peanuts) miserable pay which he got from his attachment work to "do a little something" for his mom aka 7th Tay sister. which he did. but asked me for help.. well, in a way... so i agreed. in attempt to shut the Tay Sisters up. hoping tt they'll have less to complain about ya??
~OK. End of Scene 1. ~
~Scene 2~ *Action*
Now, now... Dun get carried away, thinking that things are going to be better, n we lived happiyl ever after.. cos things nvr happen like tt. They juz dun happen like tt, haven and never will.
The dinner wasn't a great dinner for the people who paid their dues. The 3 of us had to sit in to listen to all the blabber and gossips about everything, while mentally calculating how much everything on the table costs and how much we'll be paying later... *SIAN* Anyways, the bad things tt happened didn't juz end there.
The Tay Sisters apparently enjoyed the whole affair so much so tt they started planning for the Fathers day celebration by themselves!! Who's paying u ask? well, it's THE KIDS again. ok. mainly me. COS Y?? Cos I'm WORKING!!! SHIT. sure makes me feel even more wanting to go back to studying. no responsibility of providing. no financial burden of alot of things...
okok. back to the story, here's scene 3:
Have had the time to check out my cousin's blogs. those who didn't go to the KIDS-exploiting scheme dinner. HOw "delighted" was I to find wat my dear cousin wrote about me. okok. abit harsh for my tone here. i apologise.
Well, i think wat she was bloggin about was the anger at me, for trying to be so goody-two-shoes and everything to go treat the evil Tay sisters n make a big fuss out of it, causing evil to expecting her into doing all that i have done.
For your information, dearest cousin, I have no idea tt a mothers' day dinner celebration was to SUDDENLY evolve at my expense.
I sure hope u dun think tt i'm asking for this as I DID NOT. I did wat I think tt will shut them up. though not for long, but at least for some time. ahh... the peace n quiet that i get to enjoy now does not come cheap nor last long.... But again, AT LEAST for now...
Hope this would clear some misunderstandings. N pls check with me b4 assuming things. thank you very very much for yr cooperation.
Let's juz pray tt the "evil" TAY SISTERs will forget about Fathers' day...

Oh my god, Watever happened to me in the last blog?? PMS i think. Pls forget wat I wrote...
Hey hey… haven been blogging much these days… busy. With wat u ask??
Me myself dunno wat was I busy with… think I’m was in space.
Oh ya man, I haven blogged about my wind-surfing experience from the last last wkend. It was tough to learn wind-surfing man… lots of arm-power required. Which I lack…
But when the beginner starts to be able to balance on the board n do abit of surfing with the mast n sail up, the self-satisfaction is actually quite high. It’s actually quite a thrill for sports fans. But not too easy esp for a weak beginner like me, to pick it up. Although it is possible…
Considering the fact tt I’m rather fickle-minded, I think I wouldn’t be taking it seriously as a core sport. Anyways, maybe going mountain-climbing with the same bunch of NP grads like me. Probably. Waiting for Mr Ong to make things happen.
On the other hand, think I’m more or less used to Marc’s absence. Cos I’m not feeling too much these days, though kinda whiny when everyone’s busy, out dating while I’m all alone. Understandable huh?
I think. For me to be driving on the roads is not exactly safe. Haha. Cos I suck? All road-users, Beware.
alright. there's juz approximately one more week before Marcboi returns.
feel like going Malaysia. but no idea where exactly... any suggestions pple??
ks. feelin abit sianz of watching out for pple liao. later kanna caught. CHOI.
Buaibuais...

Hi. It's a weekday, office day, n I'm back in office blogging during my precious lunchtime.... Dun worry, I've had my lunch.
Anyways, I'm trying to curb my dependency on others esp. Marc. I do realise the fact tt i'm constantly thinking how others feel about wat i do or say, basically, about me. (though I nvr show it.) Like Marc's case, I'm constantly insecure about how he'll feel about me n wat he doesn't like about me. Would he meet some other gal whom he finds, having all those qualities tt I'm missing, fall in love with tat gal n therefore lived happily ever after (for my case, unhappily ever after...)?? Or would he gradually find me a painful ordeal tt he had to go thru, n then leave for greener pastures??? I mean, ok, I maybe overdoing it a wee bit too much. But, tt's basically how i feel. Uneasy n insecure.
U think I like feelin like tt??!?! Wat? are u crazy??!!
No man. Y would I wan this to happen?? Firstly, it's normally a cause of most breakups, if u have had daily dosages of TV dramas. Untrusting couples making the r/ships unworkable.
No. I wouldn't wan tt. I really do trust him. But the thing is, I just dun trust the Human Nature. It is nvr the case where u had everything properly planned, everything in orderly sequence n all the consequences intended beforehand, which then happens in the way u predicted it. come on, dun kid yrself. no one ever had their lives like tt. unless u can forecast the future. Some how, the human nature will juz take charge in making the human life the way it wans to be. I can't say tt if i continue at this rate with Marcus, n were bound to end up married to one another. wat if........ . . . . . . . . . . . ...
ok. forget it man. this is making my head hurt.
I'll juz make sure tt i stick wif my analogy of self-focusness. the rest i'll leave it to fate.
let me cry or be happy.
watever.

A weird feeling creeps in.
Yeah, n i have not much of an idea Y... i guess it has something to do with Marc boi trying for NTU. Wat? Maybe when he goes back to being a student, n i in the working society would have a clash of opinions. ..... . . . I think I juz hit my nail on the head. OUCH.
Addin oil to fire, would be the work of my mom. she wants me to go try for NTU. . . . . . .... Come on man, how on earth would NTU (or any local universities) accept a poly grad with only a couple of Bs, some Cs, and LOADS of Ds?!?!?!?!?!?????
As much as I wan to get in, I DO KNOW MY LIMITS, MOM.
I know it's worth a try, but, u know, I'm rather embarassed to post this sort of results for admission. Wat if they laugh at me??????
So the moral of the story today is for those pepes out there whose still studying, PLS.
Let me emphasize it again.
PLEASE STUDY HARD AND GET GOOD RESULTS!!!
or u'll really hate to end up like me.
it's very much regretable.
Alright, See ya.

Titled: ANOTHER dilemma.
YES. I KNOW. yet again.
But then, had a long chat with Zhizhong last night and it kinda made me dwell even more on my future.
Where do I see myself heading towards right now?
What do I see myself as, ten years from now??
What do I want to achieve in life eventually???
What kinda life would I want to lead ultimately???
For ZZ's case, he is very much into carving a name for himself in the corporate world, n not merely under someone else's wing/control.
I normally doubt this sort of talk about one's ambitions in being their own boss. I mean, come on, everyone wants to set up their own businesses, be successful n rich. But who or which corporation do u see out there, which started from scratch, is actually tt successful?? yeah, creative technology is one, breadtalk, blah blah blah. But u think everyone who wants to make it out there can all end up doing wat they intended to???? if u think so, u'll damn WRONG man... the world doesn't care if u have a place in the modern society, they dun pity u, or make space for poor old miserable u. What they are waiting to see is how u can create yr own space within the society. If u fail, they'll probably laugh so hard at u and trample yr morale till u wish u weren't born. BUT, if u succeed in creating tt.....
oops. sorry. i was carried away on my lecture on society's brutality... haha.
Anyways, juz to add the fact tt I m still contemplating about my future.
the rest of wat I wanted to say, I forgot. haha. sorry. it happens to me on many occasions.
NVM.
Wish all u pepes happy working/studying/watever.
I'm out.
Ciao.

Titled: Dilemma
hey pple.
are u guys thinking of going anywhere in yr career other than staying put in yr current jobs? or have u pple ever tot of tt??
Also in the working society, there is pretty much to consider for example, if u take this job that u dun exactly like, wat happens if a job u wan suddenly looks your way, waiting for u to grab it?? do u really wan to dump the security of yr old job, or would u risk it all to grab that chance, which in the end does not guarantee u for tt dream job u wan??
are u going to study for a degree? or are u contented with juz a diploma??
if u r intending for a degree, in what field are u veering towards??
is it based on wat u are interested in? or is it based on wat the market requires n wan??
Other than these problematic decision-making, there's also questions regarding yr financial status, yr ability, and yr results.
I feel for all the not-so-rich pple in the world cos i M SURE tt these thoughts are not really in the consideration of those who are rich.
i see a few prominent examples like the rich kid who takes some expensive degree cos they are slightly interested in the field, only to drop it after a few months cos they are NO LONGER INTERESTED in finishing their degrees.
For the not-so-rich pple to do the same thing would mean bankruptcy. ok ok... exaggeration on my part. i apologise.
but the truth is, pple of this category would have to think thru for a long while to contemplate all the possible outcomes, go thru many opinions, get as many agreements among family members, then compare the costs, etc.... juz to get to the stage where the person is ready to say: "yes. this is it."
n how long does it take for the rich kid with the silver diapers to get there??
"Daddy, I think I'm interested in drawing."
"oh... tt's wonderful darlin. here's US$50,000. go take watever u r interested in. if the money is not enuf, call me. i'll give it to u tomorrow."
alright alright.... i'm stretching the truth once again. but come on, think of the whole matter once more, see wat are your actual views on these.
Ks. tt's an awful lot of blogging (in my case) esp at work.
GTG.

Your: Wondering eyes. Your not quite focused and
your quite the day dreamer. Your a bit odd and

clouds."
What type of eyes do you have?
