Was bored so decided to find bloggie to talk :D yehe~
Previously on my previous blog post, I mention how the society is, having high expectation of you.
One example is having expectation of you being independent just because you are 'old' enough after guiding you for the past few years and throwing you to the sea of sharks.
I guess thats how the world works. 'survival of the fittest' eh?
Another point is that you think you are 'free' once you are 'old' enough, but no,
the society has their own rules in this game.
& you gotta follow the 'rules' in order to survive, only a few know how to play out of the norm and still survive. I envy those people.
Of course, there is a big risk to take. Well, life is about give and take. :/
So below is how the society work in singapore...well in my perspective actually.
Playgroup - PLAYGROUND! TOYS! POKEMON CARDS!

So below is how the society work in singapore...well in my perspective actually.
Playgroup - PLAYGROUND! TOYS! POKEMON CARDS!
Kindergarden(suddenly you have to go to school everyday short hours) - Where the hell is this place? Why do I need to go to sch? Whats sch? Who are these 'teachers'? Ah, pals of the same age! PLAYTIME! COLOURING! longing to get home from school to sneak some television on~
Primary School - Why do I have to wake up every morning at 6/7am? What is spelling? Why must I score good marks? Good marks is good, parents happy. okay, must score good marks.
[this period of time I struggled to go to school, yes only until pri 3 i started to adapt a little. but often wake up in tears, crying, not knowing what is going on to my life]
Secondary School - Already adapt to the schooling system, starts to go to school like an obedient robot. Just knowing about scoring well in exams and study just to sit the O' levels to go somewhere else 'better' after.
Polytechnic - Was a better version of schooling. You get to do things at your own pace though they have really tight deadlines but still enjoyable.
After polytechnic - . . . . . ? What now? Uni?
University-...actually have you ever thought what is the purpose of going to university? For the degree? For show? For what? How many singaporeans out there actually know the main purpose of going a university? I bet you ask any singaporean out on the streets majority will tell you:
"To get a better job" so now define 'better' job? You will still have to start small somewhere.
How many would tell you it is to 'enrich themselves'?
For me, why I chose uni, it was to 'buy myself sometime to think about my future'. Thus I chose a 2 year course, just to think. Why I didnt chose work instead? Cause, most of the working industry here is very dead. Like a endless routine that makes me sick. At least schooling allow me some free time to do what I enjoy.
Then after university, thats it.
You are out to sea.
Working - go to work 8/9am - 6/7pm, go home slack and the damn cycle repeats. & worst of all, not all colleagues can be considered as 'friends'. The rest of your life is all about work, money, work... dead, motion-less...
Maybe I do not find the motivation to work yet or the type of workplace I would enjoy yet...but how i view work life now, it aint all flowery and nice.
Ever thought if you were given a choice, to choose between-
1. You have alot of money but you wont be happy.
2. You do not have alot of money but you are happy.
If money and happiness were a choice, which will you choose?
Tough question eh? even I cannot give you a definite answer yet :/
I am still hesitating about it ... sighs.
The society i live in, values money more than being happy. Thus, the value of being a business man, a doctor, a lawyer is higher than an architect, a designer, a journalist, a constructor etc. "No money, where will be happy" one might say. Imagine the doctor who is operating for you, chose his job because someone told him to and because of the high pay. What will you think of this doctor?
So at the moment, I am lost, at the stage of studying vs work. What I wanna do with my life requires alot of effort and courage to pursue. Thus, I'm still thinking and taking it slow. Life after all isn't a bed of roses. :/
Opps think my blogging just got serious =x.
So thats all for this post...
more thoughts to come.
