Digress

Today is not even complete, but i feel so happy. Hoho.

Oh, later going to comic connections again to search for more anime stuff. Persevere and thou shalt be rewarded.

Seriously considering taking an art subject in uni. Not continuing Science. Except maybe for a minor? Hm. Psycology still top the list. Becoming an archaelogist was my dream during primary school.

Yeash, alot of ppl said that 'Wah, pri sch already want to become so cheem job one?'.

But i love studying interesting stuffs like the jurassic period and fossils and ancient relics and all that other ancient stuffs. Say Egypt and I will go Oooh! But that dream is not possible. Haha, this is me being pessimistic...all becoz of who? My parents. Sigh.

Eh, i love them ok.

But then again, human behaviours do interest me too! Hehe..maybe i will become an emo songwriter/author/poet. Wah, in my dreams man. Must search for a job that pays, or else i will rot in Singapore.

I think S'pore is fast becoming the futuristic nation that is often potrayed in some Hollywood movies like irobot. Can see machines everywhere. And almost all the places we go, there are always people going about with their own lives. My grandma n me was going shopping, and we went to lo 1. She commented that the people there are like ants coz there are so many of them, and all of them are minding their own businesses. It was the same at Causeway Point. I also realised that the surroundings in S'pore is different in large nations where there are places for a countryside, where every house is situated at least a block or more from each other. Even the private properties in S'pore are crammed so close together. No or little privacy. Too much or too little of something is unhealthy.

That is why most S'poreans decided to live in Aust or wherever, coz they need a change in the surroundings. I feel that i need one too. But considering my parents who are not very pleased with the idea of change, i think i would be stuck in S'pore till the day i die or till the earth burns up, whichever comes first.

Thank q for providing a safe environment for me to grow up in and thank q for the supreme education, but i feel choked. Wah, this is so typical of the spoilt S'porean teenager.

No it's not.

This is just the result of the supreme education. Now we know the ways of how politicians think, and we know how 'to think critically' as a gp teacher would tell us students. Also, we are supposed to be opiniated ppl. We are supposed to speak up. We are supposed to not be afraid of voicing our discontentment or discomfort or displeasure, whatever.

Can't we S'poreans take it a tad easier, and not trying to gobble up life? If u rush thru life, what is there to truly enjoy? Money? C'mon lah, money will be gone the moment u burn them or tear them or destroy the machines that makes them. Take some time to appreciate your family. Where is the moment we needed the most? Is it when u get ur first million, or an exclusive condo? That is a need? That, my dear friend, is a want.

Many, i would say a majority, of parents are deeply influenced by this 'i-m-a-university-graduate-with-honors' mindset (mine too). But they say that uni grads are no better than diploma holders. Yeah right. Look at the start pay difference. And from personal exp, younger uni grads are being promoted faster than the person who has worked longer than them. And furthermore, many ppl are still flocking to unis.

Ppl are going to poly becoz they don't want to slog for promos or the much dreaded a lvl. They get job attachments, with pay and they are finally rid of uniforms. Which sane teen would not be the least tempted?Less rules and more freedom. Heaven. Plus, they get a diploma which qualifies them for jobs after they grad. Some go on upgrading themselves becoz they do not want to lose out on the uni grads.

Hey, not that i m promoting unis here.

It is only thru initiative and dedication and creativity that one can succeed in his/her career.

Omg. Look at what i had digressed. Ok, time to ciao.
