Had a good time with my fellow classmates at my friend’s birthday party. We had not catch up for a rather long time and I’m really glad that I had the opportunity to talk to them again in my lifetime. This is one of the relationships that I really treasure. Have you caught up with somebody that you have not met in 6 years’ time. Maybe some have met one or two of them but I’m meeting 10 over people at one shot here so what can I say? I’m really fortunate and glad that I had classmates that are willing to take the trouble to organize this gathering!
Although we had not much to talk about and were only cracking up jokes and updating one another of the things that happened in our life, the bond between the people still exist. Sometimes, we may just pop out memories of what happened in the past and laugh about stuffs that we shared. It is always good to remember how we gone through that period of time. These are memories that cannot be bought by anything. It will certainly stay in my heart. If you remember, I touched on memories in my earlier blogs and I commented that why do you still hang on to the old memories and not move forward. I had an answer to my own question. That is memories has unseen powers that will push people to greater heights. I believe the power is a lot greater than having aspiration because there is a certain degree of uncertainty in having aspiration but when we have memories, it is history but it holds a lot of values and it serves as a guide to how we have changed. I really felt so relieved that I took my time out to go for this gathering, a power from my fellow primary classmates has given me the power to face challenges ahead of me. I’m not sure how did they do that but I’m really grateful of them.
I’m actually quite tired after the whole thing but I wished to put down the thoughts in my mind now so that I will remember it as I read this issue again. I really want to thank Weitian in particular for organizing the gathering! Hope to see the guys again for the next gathering cause I have much fun laughing and talking during the gathering!
Cheers!

depression

I’m updating my blog! But it may due to the depressing mood that I’m experiencing that pushes me to update my blog. Don’t worry, it’s not a complain session because it’s a cycle whereby we will experience ups and downs and I’m currently having the down season. Since I have made my blog public, I noticed that I have quite a few friends who are blogging as well and that made me feel a fit in. I’m not too sure why I was feeling that but it sort of feel great as we will be updating each other without always talking to one another. These blogs will serve as a gauge for me of how my mindset will be changing as I go through different phases in life. I will be interested to look back to the earlier issues in 2 year’s time. ( I really hope that I remember it)

Depression seems to be a norm in most people and I think the most important thing is to find out a way to solve the problem and personally, I solved it through writing as what I am currently doing. It kind of relieves my frustration and makes me feel comfortable after the whole event of writing. In the past, I don’t write as I feel it’s useless to write to oneself but after I found out something named blog, I started to write in paragraphs and paragraphs although there may not be people reading it in the end. I notice a lot of people saying that I’m writing way too long but I shall seek the path my heart desire. Of course I would want to actually have readers reading it but I feel that I shall not compromise my writing as well. Thus I shall apologise to fellow readers who are complaining that it’s my style that I’m writing long blogs and for goodness sake, I’m not competing with anybody. Other people sought the route of talking to friends or lovers about the problem or doing something that they are really great in so as to sense achievement again. I have my own reasons of not doing all those stated above. Firstly, I really hate to bore my friends and family by my complaints because some things cannot be solved and complaining will only be wasting both of our time. Why not do something more meaningful? Secondly, I’m not great in anything exactly so it boils down to only writing. It rules!
p/s: actually, i wrote this issue a few days ago so i am just posting what i wrote that day. Cheers!

dreams-part 2(diverted to money) =P

Today is a bright shiny day and miraculously, I woke at 0830h! sorry for the silly introduction but I really felt that way. :D I’m going to touch on my dreams section again. I was pondering whether I should write on dream lover or dreams or dream life. The decision has been made and I have decided to write on dream life, dream lover and dreams will be other parts of the dream series!
What’s your dream life? For me, my dream life is to earn a humongous amount of money so that I do not have to hesitate when I want to buy anything. Next, I want to have a great husband and no children. I don’t really like children after my experience with them yesterday. I do not deny that they are cute and cuddly sometimes, but the amount of terror they actually do is far more than when they are cute. when they actually grow into teenage years, we have to worry about their circle of friends, their academic grades, their safety on roads and more that I do not wish to elaborate. When they do not get married by 30, you will start to worry whether they will remain a bachelor or spinster for life. I’m still not sure why there is stigma where being single is something that is not desirable. Can the reason be that we are made into this world to be attached? Married? Have children? Got carried away again. Haha… thirdly, I want to live happily ever after. After some surveying, many people want to lead my life too(maybe except they want to have children)
Here, we are faced in a situation where a lot of people are obsessed with money and all of them want to have a dream lover. I shall proceed to touch upon to the obsession of money. Personally, I feel that I have quite a high degree of this obsession and it may be due to my family background. There’s a Chinese saying where we can’t live without money. Something that I feel it’s really true but to think of it, how did money come about? Why do people want to make something called money? For their ego to showoff their power? Or to balance up a system whereby the intellectual, creative and hardworking ones get the right amount of money they earn? Personally, I think the last one is the ideal to my question. I do not deny that there’s an existence of such a group of people and they are ultimately the richest ones around. (I can’t quote any examples. Maybe Bill Gates? The creator of Creative?) care to share examples if you know of any? But there are also very rich people who just lived off other people’s wealth like Victoria Beckham, Paris Hilton and fellow sister. I’m sure many girls are envy of them as they could buy all the things that they possibly want, be it Gucci, hmm… I’m bad at branded goods, getting to know famous and handsome guys and posing for photographs for magazines and all. Dream life for most girls. Guess maybe luck does play a part in the amount of wealth we could own in our lifetime. I guess the inventor of money really makes our life difficult, with everybody slogging their life to earn only a shrimp sum of money and the worse thing is we can’t really save it up as we have to buy everyday necessity and our wants. I feel that it’s our wants that actually suck up all the money we have. Thus we are stuck in a vicious cycle that we will normally spend the amount the earned. I feel that it’s hard to actually break this cycle given the fact that many people, especially girls value their wants as part of necessity if you understand what I mean. I’ve not been in the society just yet but I think with all the peer pressure we get during work where we will some bitches commenting about what their colleagues wear and squeak over colour mismatch, we are usually embarrassed. Let’s face it! How can you ever avoid such gossips when you are a girl yourself. Personally, I think I will not be able to stand it. I know all about being yourself and that kind of stuffs but can we actually practice it in real life. Hardly, I say.
So how do we break out of this cycle? Investments? Shrimp and save like aunties who will complain when there’s a difference of 10 cents in different supermarkets? Or just marry a rich significant other? Let us analyse the possible outcomes to my suggested answers.
Investing in shares is the most possible to break out of the cycle but it’s also the most dangerous of all my suggested solutions because you never know that you may dig deeper to your grave. If you don’t understand what I mean, think about the 1997 crisis where there are many people jumping down buildings and bankruptcy numbers shot up? Know the reason behind it? Shares. We are hit by the economic crisis in like 95 or 96 and the stocks has plunged way low in 1997, thus a lot of people ASSUMED that the shares are bound to bounce back in no time and they hope that it will be an opportunity where they can make it big at last. Please note that most of these people are from middle class where they have their own home from their hard-earned money but not enough hard cold cash to invest. Therefore their strategy is to mortgage everything that they own and invest it all into the shares. You don’t have to guess what happened next. With news about people jumping down the buildings, you are not expecting the shares to soar. Maybe it’s due to the fact that they cannot accept their failure. They are really selfish people because when they leave this world for the other, their kins have to bear the consequences which are normally the innocent parties with little or no ability to work. Therefore, investing in shares are dangerous because it’s really unpredictable and you may lose a bundle in a matter of days. I shall not discuss the other investments as I’m not really sure about them. The reason being they didn’t make it into prime news so I can’t be bothered actually.
Next strategy is to shrimp and save, I feel that it’s a long process and the results are not really evident. In a long term, it’s really saves quite a bit of money but some shoppers overdo it. For example, there are some people who took a cab that may cost about 10 bucks to get a free bottle that may only cost for about 5 bucks. You may think it’s stupid, but it really happened as I came across news of this. So save when you can but do not overdo it.
To marry the rich significant other may be the fastest solution but will it last? I may elaborate on it in the later issues.
However, in another light, with everybody working hard and all, the world progresses towards new dimensions and creations at a faster pace. I have been always fascinated by the creations. For example the creations in ig’s heaven and molecule. When I pass by these type of shops, I never fail to go in and take a look at the newest creations, be it a simple paperweight or just a thermometer. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I never had a creative mind in the first place. Haha…
Oh no! I’m have diverted my topic to money. Will elaborate on dream life next issue. My brain cells are totally dead now so I can’t really continue to talk about this topic. Maybe I will add certain points when I think of it. :D
Cheers!

frog in the well

As i'm going to make this blog public, i have edited some of my post so don't be surprised. haha..... I will also use a milder tone when approaching my topics so that i will not scare away my friends. :D
today, i was reading one of my friend's blog and i found out that i'm totally naive and could only see the cream of the cake. I'm impressed by how the readers commented and if you wish to see it for yourself, it's http://www.banedon.blogspot.com. do drop by and take a look.
after reading the blog, i felt ashamed of myself as i was not able to argue simple and major issues. I'm already 19 and do not wish to be labeled as naive when i step into the society. Thus, i better buck up and read more! to think of it, i really shouldn't blame the teachers for failing my gp. i really suck at it. oops.....
i will no longer be a frog in the well!
Cheers!

dReAmS-- PaRt 1

I was deadbeat from the two performances I had in one weekend so it has prevented my brain cells from working for a while. But today, I'm totally free of stress and with adrenaline pumping all over me,
I believe most of us have dreams.
Let's explore about dream jobs. Dreams of being on screen seems to be one of the most common dream for girls including the past me. Being on screen seems to be the most glamorous job that anybody can have. Wearing pretty and expensive clothing and able to kiss handsome actors(like Brad Pitt) and seems to send girls into seventh heaven. All of them seem to lead a luxurious life and thus it seems to be the most perfect job in the whole world, is there anything more to ask for? However, I beg to differ. In these few years of pondering what shall I pursue in my life, I suddenly found out that being an onscreen performer(especially when you are a female) is the worst job you can ever have. It may seem that I must be stupid or idiotic to for me to say that but I will support my stand with things that you may have neglected.
Let’s see, we shall discuss about the show that everybody knows, American Idol. It has nothing to do with Simon Cowell and whoever the other judges are. Apparently, I have never watched a single episode of it. Personally, I feel that’s it’s a fabulous show as it uncovers real talents and gives a strand of hope to those who are in difficult situations.(like the latest winner who is a single mum) But why didn’t I catch a single episode of it? I can’t be bothered to be watching this show as it may become addictive. Mind you, I have many other better things to do then trying to catch every single episode of American Idol every week. No offence to those who are in love with the show. I just don’t wish the restrict my social activities by this show.
From the information I gather from my friends who catch this show, everybody sings very well in the show(of course, they are chosen from thousands of people. If they can’t sing, the production team should really consider sacking Simon and fellow judges). So it boils down to training and understanding themselves, luck and popularity. The first two criteria really depends on the participants themselves as nobody can motivate and understand themselves more than their own. Luck depends on god and the last depends on the audiences and the judges. Out of the four criteria that I listed, popularity seems to be the most important factor. If the audiences don’t like you, out you go as they are the consumers. Thus it’s really important of how you present yourselves in front of the judges and the audiences.
Thus, appearance is one of the most important aspects of surviving in the singing industry. You beg to differ? An example to support my stand is Rubin and Clay. Rubin became the winner of American Idol but Clay is the one who is distributing the second album. Therefore my conclusion is that having the voice isn’t everything. The world wants to be fair but can it? No. However, it does not mean that people who are not of the ideal weight or looks are not going to be good stars. Christina Aguilara is one fine example that weight isn’t everything and I’m all for her. Her voice is good! Anybody with horrendous looks? I can’t think of any now? If you know of any please inform me. glad to hear it from you.
There’s another industry that looks and appearances are the most important above all others. The movie industry. it’s very evident when you start to hear criticisms from fashion designers about how did the stars wear for formal occasions and there’s even a top ten list for wearing terribly. If it happens to me, I will probably kill the fashion designer! I’m sorry for being too critical but what’s the heck is the fashion designer trying to bother about how people wear? Go and design your own clothes and just shut your mouth. Oops…. When actresses start to grow wrinkles when they are 40(which is normal), other people start to freak out and say that the actresses are old and should just leave the movie industry. however, if the actresses do not have wrinkles when they hit 40, they will start to say the actresses went for plastic surgery. What a paradox! So what should they do? I suggest they commit suicide before 40 so that people will not see their wrinkles at all. My point is that getting old is a no-no in the movie industry. Even young actresses are victims of plastic surgeries when they have a slight change in their faces. People will change as they go through different type of stages and experience different things like joy or depression thus I deem slight changes in face to be natural. Another no-no in movie industry is to be fat. This is one of the problems that nearly all girls are faced with. Not being the ideal shape seems to be a sin and they got all depressed when they gain 0.5kg of weight. They start to complain and look for easy alternatives like slimming pills. (I’m sure that if I’m going into this slimming industry, I’m going to get rich!) Stars get criticized when they gain weight and the actresses will normally sought help from slimming centers and become their representatives. The worst thing that I found out is that the reporters don’t even let ex-actresses go. My goodness! I can see that they are really desperate for news. Haha… Once the actresses are not of ideal weight, it seems that the chance of them getting on screen will also decrease except for Lydia Sum? Maybe I should correct my point that actresses can only go to the extremes and not the average build.
Especially in Hong Kong where there is abundance of tabloid reporters, the lives of onscreen performers seem terrible. Imagine people scavenging your rubbish to find out what you are eating, being stalked by people and not having any personal space. I cannot imagine how my life will go on, I will probably go crazy. I’m not blaming the tabloid reporters as they need to do such stuffs in order to keep money rolling into their bank account. Who would want to scavenge other people’s rubbish in the first place?
Therefore, I conclude that being a star is torturous even though it may seem glamorous at first. Heehee… dreams part two will be out soon!

Today I went to orchard road and saw my ex-band conductor but I didn’t go up to say hi as he was comforting a girl who was crying at a corner. I was happily eating my taro pie and I figured that I should not go up and disturb them as it isn’t the right atmosphere to do so.
For love? For friendship? For grades? For family problems? Or for other unknown reasons? I’m not sure as I don’t know her at all but it started my brain cells to work again. Since young, I was named a crybaby due to the sole reason that I will use my cry to soft any problems that I encounter. As I grow older and being more mature, I feel that crying no longer helps. You may argue that crying may lighten the mental burden. It may be true but personally, I don’t feel that way. Crying is useless for me. It can’t solve the problem and I get scolding or reprimanded. Either way, it serves no purpose at all.
I started to turn back and look at circumstances that I will cry. When I was 0-1 years old, I will cry because I needed to drink milk or when I have a fall. It’s normal to everybody. As I grow to an age of about 4-5 years old, I started to cry because I could not get what I wanted to buy be it sweets or walkie-talkie. (I’m not into dolls and I’m pondering about the reason. =P) I’m not really sure whether I cried from 6-10 as that seem to be my happiest days of my life where I’m enjoying too much of it and forgot about crying. Many memories that I will update you in my later entries. :D During early teenage years, people was crying because of jealousy, be it friendship or siblings. (see? I’m using people and not me because I wasn’t crying because of that) I’m blaming that on hormonal changes. I feel that it’s due to hormonal changes where people become insecure and desperately want an identity in the vast world. It’s evident when you see teenagers dress themselves up and joining gangs or acting like one. The latter is one of the acts that I feel is totally naïve and stupid even when I was going through that stage. I was crying because of grades even until when I graduated from junior college(high school). After I had my A-level examinations and had some minimal experience on working life, I felt that I was stupid because life is not about grades? Why did I cry? Maybe it’s due to the fact that I can’t afford to lose due to my ego. However, I changed my perspective, I will give my best shot and that’s it! That’s it! Haha…. Talking about my minimal working life, I cried too! Something I find that it’s hilarious because at that point of time, I was thinking that I’m not up to the expectation of my boss and get frustrated. I forgot that I have tried my best and I pushed myself to the limit. Something I overlooked and at think of it, I blamed myself for being unconfident about my performance.
My life is still going on as I’m going to live out of precious my teenage years and I shall not elaborate why people cry when they are getting older as I have never personally been through it. I feel that I will have certain degree of biasness and thus I shall not risk being accused of having one now.
As we live through our lives, we start to understand things in a better light and learn how to cope with difficult situations in a more apprehensive way . personally, I learnt that crying is no longer to any problems except for mental alleviation. In the future, I may have see crying in a differently and I will update it. I’m feeling excitement as well as fear towards my future. I have many lessons to be learned and I’m Really looking forward to my destiny!
Cheers!

After some days of blogging, I found that I’m totally addicted to it! I’m not sure why I’m addicted however, the problem is that I can’t always be updating due to the sole reason that I do not want to be over anxious on what I want to write. I really do not hope to see my blog become a pile of rubbish after a while. maybe i will up date once in a week. having all me personal problems also pulls me down sometimes. so my brain cells are too preoccupied with things to think seriously what i want to write. You will understand what I mean after raeding my blog entry today. sorry! Having this blog let me express certain things that I can’t exactly tell people in the “real world” of ours. It’s solely to share it with strangers that may just happen to drop by and take a look at it. I welcome any comments, whether it’s critical or a pleasant hello to me.
Do you feel the same way as me? why do we start to blog? Have you ever thought of that? You may say that it's an online diary. I'm not stamping out the probability of that but seriously, i thought that diaries are suppose to be personal items that are not usually shared with people? Are we seeking for condolences or for solutions or maybe find bloggers that share the same ideas with us? what are we seeking in this private yet open space with dear servers of the internet.
I feel that in this “real world” of us, there are many things that can’t be told to other souls as it may turn against us someday. Maybe I’m thinking too much but it's possible, don't you think so?. Maybe it’s due to the fact that I’m not occupied by work or school thus resulting in the overflowing of brain cells. Therefore, I decided to let my excess brain cells to do the thinking, not only about the blog but other areas of life.
Suddenly, I feel that life is to much of a probability game where almost every decision you make are based on probability. We can't be absolutely sure of everything we do because everytime when we were sure about certain things, it may backfire with undesirable consequences. thus, a kind of fear has then instilled into us where we are not sure with every step we take, especially when we know that the decision is going to affect our lives. whether big or small, it will be a game where we will play as we live on in this world. Don't you agree?
With the luxury life that i am living now(playing computer games and writing blogs), i think i should put aside time to think about some what ifs so as to better prepare myself towards the future. Hmmm.... should i be cremated or burried? see my point now if you don't already?
Cheers!

AnOtHeR uPdaTe~

Warning! Today’s a complain session so you can just skip this whole lot if you hate to see me whining over some minute stuffs. No in depth session today!
Today, my day is all well until now. Went to practice in the morning and came back for a nap. That’s all so sweet until I received a phone call from my brother’s classmate’s parent who lectures me about what I should do to help my brother to do better in his studies because his grades aren’t close to ideal. Oh damn, is it my fault that my brother isn’t doing well? Even if I wanted to push him, he would just be lazing around, doing everything else but study. Is it my fault that he didn’t want to study? Who is she to come and talk all the damn stuffs with me? it’s as if I am the one responsible for all his studies. Tell me things like “you should help him, you know? You are his sister. He has language problem you know?” I bet she thinks my command of language is good but unfortunately, my grades in the English language if failing and I can’t seem to know why myself and somebody comes and tell me that you should help your brother that kind of thing. (as my blog is read by people whom I know or are civilized people, I shall attempt to be as civilized as possible in order to keep the image I always had) but I damn pissed. Oops…… guess I can’t do much when I’m too pissed now.
It’s not that I don’t know that my brother isn’t that intellectual as he don’t go to top notch schools and does not score straight A’s but so do I? But I eventually manage to scrape through. My brother is sec 3 and you want me to pass my kind of system to him? I mean students that age have their own set of thinking and I really do not wish to become a bossy sister to tell him what he should do as I will be damn angry if my parents asked me to things not the way I wanted it. Something that I was angry other than that, she (the parent) has to tell me that his son has autistic(I don’t what the heck is that. Suppose it’s people who has language problem too) and can score two A’s for his mid year examination and one of them is self studied. I agree the it’s really an accomplishment especially that the fact that the self-studied subject is Additional mathematics but Do I care whether her son gets two A’s for his mid year examinations? NO! later, she’s telling me the logic that it doesn’t matter if the child has language problem, he will do well under supervision. Don’t you think that she’s implying to me that it’s my parents are not making the effort thus my brother can’t do well for his studies. Oh please! Do you think will there ever be parents in Singapore that do not care about their child’s grade? Near impossible I say. In actual fact, my parents are extremely worried with my brother’s grade and they tried to push him to study but he simply doesn’t move. What can we do? Sometimes, he has this attitude problem that really irks me but his under puberty so I deem this as part of a natural cycle. By the way, her son listens to her. Different people has different characters and we can’t do things all by one way. Maybe my brother is talented in other things like art or some unidentified talent that has not been uncovered? Why can’t we develop in something that he excels in rather then trying to push him to study. However, in Singapore, academic is deemed as the most important in a child’s life above all the others. Thus, my brother is just an unfortunate soul that lingers in Singapore, trying his best to do something that he can’t excel. To think of my brother’s classmate, I wonder whether he will become crazy after his mother push him too much. I’m not cursing him but it seems that this child is under tremendous pressure.
Actually, I wanted to elaborate on Singapore’s education system but I guess all of us know it too well that it will be rather pointless to rewrite the whole story about education.
Today’s a crap session as I said earlier so I really appreciate all those who read it.

hApPy WiTh uR LifE?

Hi again~ I’m back with more things to say! You may think what is this girl doing, why has she got so much time to blog. The reason is simple, because I’m currently waiting for entry to university and not working exactly working now. Today’s topic came by as I was sitting on the bus, trying to pass my time as I have nothing to do on the bus. I can’t read or watch tv mobile as I will get dizzy spells. So I was staring through the window and doing nothing when suddenly I heard someone said, “I enjoyed my primary school days, playing and playing. We don’t have to worry about anything ….” I’m not eavesdropping so I can’t exactly remember what he said and can’t be bothered to hear what he has to say too. With this amount of information, I decided to put this as a topic as I have also pondered about it during my ride, trying to figure out what I can say about it here and also most importantly, pass my time!
Why do we always look back to the past? The first question that popped in my brain after I heard the remark. Are we living so terribly now that we have to look back to the past to find sweet memories like primary school days. But hey, I don’t mean I have a terrible childhood and I do have “sweet” primary school life. My primary school life consists of beating up guys, acting like a bitch and so on… how cliché. I don’t want to write too much about it because it will take my whole day to write it and I do have a life and do not need to write the blog to pass my precious night time that I dedicate to talking in irc. I also understand that we should be grateful that we have a nice childhood to think about. Why didn’t we dedicate this time to live our life to live our present life to the fullest and before we die(sorry for being blunt), we will think “no regrets as I lived my life to the fullest and I’m ready to die!” I’m trying to fulfil this ideal of mine now and in the future. Currently, I’m quite happy with my state. Yeah! We should look forward to leading our lives to the fullest. Oops… I think I am carried away as always. But I know that this ideal of mine will be smashed as I go into society where all the monsters come out (Monsters= bosses, back stabbers and other creatures that I haven’t thought of currently.) and footing all the bills and trying to get a life out of the routine.(I guess that’s the reason why clubs are so popular and shows like faking it are working out just fine) Thus I shall stand by my ideal as much as possible and pray that it will work out just fine. J
Talking about the show leads me to think about another point today. Just an overview, this reality show is about faking the candidate as some other job like lab technician to become a cheerleader , carpenter to become an interior designer and a richie into a cowboy. Can you believe it?! They will become an imposter and trick three professional judges in a short span of three weeks which is like ?!!??! I think so too! Out of the three examples I mentioned (they are not for show), one made it beautifully and the other two barely made it. the pampered one just barely make it if I remembered correctly. Life is just too easy for him, going out and drinking wine with friends, eating top graded food and so on. He can’t actually take the stress level, thinking of his friends when eating hotdog for dinner, having to wake up in the dawn seems like a chore to him. To add 2 points, he actually thinks being a cowboy is easy before he got to the training ground and this boxers has his name on it. Egoistic people like him should be taught a lesson!
When he went home, his trainers are just too happy to send him off and I think it serves as a wake up call for the richie that life is hard and he better enjoy the luxury he has now. The one who made the perfect score of fooling all three judges is the carpenter. See? People who suffer will make an edge for himself and he is lucky that he has some talent in designing. So he worked hard and so the results are marvelous. I was really happy when I saw that episode. (maybe it’s due to the fact that I’m not rich and so biased against people who are egoistic with not their money but their parents’ money!) another thing to think about is the fact that why they want to participate in this show. From the way I looked at the show, it seems that there is no prize money for those who fooled all the judges. I was pondering why they wanted to participate in this show and I have concluded that it may be due to the fact that they are sick and tired of their own routine and wanted something different. I think it’s very true that we can’t really change ourselves for one job to another entirely new job because we won’t want to risk our rice bowl in this competitive society where money seems to be worshipped like a god. Thus I think that it’s very saddening. My initial plan is to work at different kind of jobs and get experience from all of them but I guess I won’t be able to do that now, considering certain factors like my age, my poor command of English,…… I will just stick with the plain and boring road which many people take. You won’t see me selling porridge in hawker center because it’s a tough job and I’m not willing to take it as a career.
So my concluding statement is that we should try to be as happy as possible although we are constrained by certain things like status.
Cheers!

At last! i got it correct and this will be the start of my blogging days. I really hope that i will get some response from you guys so that i will be able to continue writing as people do run out of ideas of what they should write.
As for me, i shall update all my boring days and unfortunately, bore you to death but I'm gonna include some things that has more inner depth. no offence to those who write daily diaries because my life simply too boring and it will only serve as a deterrent to my readers, which i would not want.
