Uni Degree: Necessary or Junk??

Is getting a university degree easier now than compared to 7-8yrs ago? I feel there’s a tinge of YES in my mind. Coz everyone is taking this paper qualification and passing it without breaking a sweat. Or maybe the institutions that they enrolled themselves in, are of sub-standard quality? Or maybe, just maybe, that I underestimated myself and my learning capability?? Kekekek…I beg to differ but really, maybe I’m really that stupid. :p

Even Justin is contemplating to taking his Masters next year, which I feel it’s a good thing but not necessarily useful if you’re not successful in your job. You may be over-qualified for that position that you so dearly wants, but you are deemed “too good” for it. That’s why getting such a high level of education may defeat the purpose, unless you really are interested in the course of studies, then yes, please do ahead and satisfy that thirst for knowledge. Unless you’re hungry for success in the corporate life, then getting that cert is important to ease your way up the ladder. Coz I always feel that you can’t have a clerk holding a Masters while his boss is only diploma, right??!! That’s the case in my previous job. But then again, they will argue that experience counts. So, my point is, getting experience is more relevant in the working life than chasing paper.

You just have to weigh the pros and cons. If you feel you need this to succeed, then you have my utmost support…but if not, then getting a Bachelor is more than suffice in the working world…at least in our time. 10, 20yrs down the road, it might be a different case altogether.

Picturesque!!!

Wasting a perfectly good day is a SIN!! And today is 1 of them. The blue sky, the bright green flora as backdrop is so vivid and vibrant that I wish that scene could just stand still forever. It’s so picturesque. But, I just couldn’t bring myself out of the house!! Hahahah…lazy me.. :p The weather’s best to go for a swim, a jog or just laze around in the sun @ Fort Canning Park!! I even thought of going to Bedok Reservoir to get some shots of the beautiful water feature. If I could get a companion, I would go straight away. :)

So sayang…………

A Pack of Ciggies???

Gotten help from the least expected places….through Facebook from my secondary school classmate. The thing is, we hardly had anything to say to each other then. There were definitely less than 10 words we conversed during our 2 years in lower sec. But still, she offered to help when she saw my “distress” signal via my heading. That was so so sweet/nice and definitely HEART WARMING (I think it’s my 2nd or 3rd time using this word in consecutive days).

Alice was the last person I knew who would lend a hand. We weren’t close then (for sure) and we only got in contact like few months ago. So, I really appreciate her help….from way deep down. I also had friends like YS to send his regards and the latest to join the bandwagon was Xiao Long. I guess it’s really comforting to know that people do care about people; no matter how minute the offering was, it’s the gesture and thought that put into it. That’s huge enough for me. And oh ya, Su. She’s 1 hell of a supporter too. Hahhaha…I was always there for her listening to her shit and stuff and the time had finally came for her to do the same for me, and she promptly did it, w/o me asking. And that’s COOL. *pump fist to the heart*

Lately, I’ve likened my state to the current economy. I was doing very well for the past 3 years until the bubble burst in Sept 08, and everything went downhill from there. It’s EXACTLY the replica of what the economy is right now. There’s always bad news every single hour. You hear it everywhere; news, radio, word of mouth. It’s practically in the air we breathe. There’s no escaping. So I’m just praying hard traces of recovery can be sighted soon, so maybe my own luck will do the same concurrently. Hahahaah…it’s funny but I think it’s related. You cannot be lucky all the time, but similarly, you cannot be suay all your life. There’s yin and yang, and the balance must almost be met in life. So, I’m just waiting for that day to come...

Shout out to all you guys out there who showed your care/concern. Really appreciate it…every single drop of it. Love ya guys!!

I hope I can get out of this rut faster and emerging a stronger person. I really do. Hope that time will come soon.

Meeting my Dream Girl

Remember the time when you get so much forwarded texts that you get sick of it? I knew I was. But that was about 7-8 years ago, when everyone is banging on the technology to send their greetings/jokes/rumors. It’s still is now. Just that, I don’t receive it until my colleague sent me yesterday. It felt like a gazillion years ago when I received my first ever forwarded text. Hahahah…In the past, I would think the people who created those texts must be either too free or damn happy people. But now, after so long, it’s nice and heart-warming to receive one again. It felt like someone does care about your well-being, be it whole-heartedly or hypocritically….when it needed most. It still meant something. At least they bother to send. :)

Another happy thing to note today is, I saw my dream Japanese girl again. She lived opposite Tiong Bahru Plaza. So whenever I waited for the shuttle, I might have the chance of seeing her. Today on my way back, I saw her!! That really made my day. She’s all what I want in a prefect woman. Slender, long locks of flowing hair, mesmerizing eyes and those irresistible pluckers. Her demeanor is so captivating, her every move is so precise and always wearing a smile on her face, all the time. She’s at least into her 30s and possibly married. But I’m always attracted to mature ladies for some reason. I guess it’s the femininity that made me head over heels. It’s like aged wine. Awwwwww….the feeling you get is, you wish you can protect her with all your life, even means dying for her. You know that feeling?? It’s the first time I have such strong feeling for someone I don’t know..!? kekekek…what irony…I guess, I should get myself a Japanese wife somehow or rather. :p

p.s. doesn’t mean I’m giving up my ang mohs ok…kekeke :p

2009 Analogy

每人年年进步, 但我却年年退步.

每人年年越做越好, 但我却越来越糟!!!

No more Self-Worth........

I’m think I’m crazier if I don’t get crazy at the circumstances I’m in right now. Jobless and losing self-worth is getting to me again. I can’t stand myself anymore at my past actions. The stupid things that I had done to get myself in this mess. It’s total horrid. I got a perfectly good job and ever-compliant wife, but I gave them all up, just bcoz people say “you should job-hop to get your pay increase, faster!”…and the wife part, is all onto me, no one else to blame. All is rubbish.

I threw away a perfectly good life and end up doing part time job for $7/hr. I can’t blame anyone just bcoz I’m too trusting or too stupid to evaluate my god-damn life. I was so good at my job and I have the backing of so many people there, but I gave it all up bcoz of a “step upwards”?? Bullshit!!!! It’s XXX who bloody tell me the company wouldn’t consider increasing my pay, just bcoz 8yrs ago, they didn’t do so for XXX…but it didn’t come onto me that it might be different for me!!??? Why am I so STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! Such a nincompoop!!!!

I even have to resort to begging my old job back, but still sabotaged by other useless/backstabbing people, or else I would be back there within a week!! Whatever I say now is futile, and I can’t turn back time. So all I can do is rant my frustrations here and get on with my miserable life.

Everyone thinks that I’m not anxious/nonchalant about getting a job soon. They really think I’m still so laid-back as before and smile my way through life now?? They are so damn ignorant!!!! They thought they knew me, but they know nuts about me. My acting must be good though, giving them the wrong impression. Coz there’s really nothing they can do about it, even if I give them a grumpy face every single shit day for the past 7 months, right?? If they can, I’m more than obliged to do that to satisfy their ego.

I’m not asking for much. I just want a job to get my life back together again. Is it that difficult???!!! Is that too much to ask??!!! Why no fucking one wants to give me a chance???!!!!!! At least I’m a uni grad, with 3 yrs working experience…doesn’t that count one FUCKING BIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I JUST FEEL LIKE SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the way home, I even contemplating whether to turn to a life of monkhood and serve the people, like all great men before me. People like Mahatma Ghandi and Mother Theresa are worth following and learnt, rather than Donald Trump and Bill Gates. I rather see a smile on an ailing man than sucking them dry of their paycheck with my proposed products/properties. What has this world come to??? I’m becoming more and more disillusioned about the last 27yrs that had past, and more importantly, how will the next 27 more years that were to come??? Will I still be a jobless wreck, still playing cool and laid-back or living comfortably with my cosy family??? It’s becoming a blur all of a sudden. Without a job, I cannot see my future. Without a future, there is definitely no self-worth.

Maybe You need me more, so can You please take me away now???!!!! End my sufferings!!!!! Let me spread your teachings to a wider audience through their dreams and thoughts. At least that will bring me joy and tranquility.

2 days of feasting and for no apparent reason!!

These 2 days had been really enjoyable. 2 days of sun and fun and the outcome, a golden tan that is long overdue. Kekekek…miss the days of swimming and in on Saturday, I finally got to complete 1.5km. Though it’s not enough, but that should do for the time being. :)

Had been gorging myself with good food and drinks for the past 48 hours!! I’m so stuffed everyday, I wish I could vomit them all out and be more selective of my choices. Hahahah…that sounds disgusting but that’s the whole truth. Kekeke…I’M SO FULL!!! Think I’ll detox over this week before embarking for another foodie trip in KL on Friday. Need to take in more veggies and fruits man…and water!!! Have been indulging too much le, need to be a good boy now…if not, I’ll never gonna succeed in my running regime for the next couple of months…no more temptations!!! PLEASE!!! Kekeekek…
