1 month later
Its been 1 month and 2 days since I came back from Taiwan & Hong Kong Trip. Time really flies like a fly. haha. I really think when you grow older, time gets faster. There are more necessary boring stuffs you need to do everyday and too little time to do meaningful things that you like. Suddenly, you find there is a need to work during your holidays because you need to feed yourself for this 3 months break, because you need the money to go out and have fun during the 3 months. So you work your time away but find that the money you spend on your 'fun' times are actually faster than you know it. Slowly, you find yourself having nothing much to look forward to after each 'fun' event is over. My overseas trip is over, my east coast park outing is over, PS's birthday celebration is over, k-boxing with sec sch ppl and 2 groups of jc ppl is over. So what? Tml I have to go back to work and wait for fri to come. Then it goes on again and again until school reopens. I don't want to lead this kind of life in the my future working life. But i guess it can't be avoided.
A few days ago, i watch this Channel U variety show call 稀游记。 It was featuring people who went to Cambodia to take care of the orphans. Then i turn to ask my mum, what if 1 day I go overseas to become a volunteer and there may be no way I will be able to give you monthly allowance. She told me I can go, it will be more peaceful without me around. Haha. I knew she was just kidding because she was quite worried about letting me go for work 'N' travel in USA for just 3 months and this kind of volunteer work that I am thinking of, may be for years. Just when I thought I can go with her support next time, she told me, 如果你有良心你就去 in a sarcastic way. At that moment, I knew I have a burden on me, a family to take care of, to care for first. How can I help others when I can't even make people around me happy first? Time has made us mature and there are more things we have to be bothered about. Though it hinders you, but at least you know how you can make people around you at ease.I am not sure what I am going to be in the future yet but I am sure I still have lots of thinking to do.
Some updates: Results are out and I am not going to post it online this time thinking not many people will know it because I only told a few people about my blog. So for my close friends, just to say I did okay. Quite neutral about it, not as good as the other time but still in the first class honours range. Got a A+, few As and B+s.
Then i got into my first choice Tourism and Hospitality management for my specialisation, can tell me if you are in this too. I am planning to take Economics as second specialisation so those taking Economics modules can also look for me.
I am working in Tanjong pagar international plaza building now so those working near there can meet me for lunch :)
