The Singapore Dream

Yup... though its kinda late and i need to get up early

but as i was showering, (as you know most good ideas come from the washrooms~)

it dawn upon me the idea of the Singaporean dream!

since young we were taught that if we wanna make it big in life

we have to study hard, get good grades get a good cert be in good schools...

so that we can get a good job and have a good spouse and then the cycles repeats when you get kids.

itsnt it kinda sad being a cycle? with no purpose? just following someone way which has no guaranteed success...

but have you ever wondered whats the definition of good?

what defines the grades you have?

who says a good cert gets you a good job nowadays?

what about character? people dont care what you know till they know that you care...

and as they say, its not what you know, its who you know!

with today's technology, we stop memorising things, we memorise keywords that allows us to know where we can find the knowledge.

how is a job good? full on hours but very good pay?

or a low pay but good synergy with your colleagues?

how much would it be till its considered good?

50k a year? 1 million a year?

today i heard a footballer gets 220k euros a week...

that would probably be enough for my school fees and lodging and allow me to live comfortably...

some will say life isnt fair... when people who are doing social work gets under paid and some other people just kick around a ball and get very good pay

but life is actually fair... you just need to see it in a right way

and greet it with an open mind

rain falls on good and bad, rich and poor, smart and dumb...

so is the common flu...

oh wells spaghetti of thoughts... this will never end when everything get philosophical~

Essays in my head

yea... just like the title says... i am having essays going on in my head

maybe its cause i hadn't been around people as often to talk

or maybe cause i slept too much so my brain feel too energised!

well, either way, cause of it, once again here goes another attempt to revive my blog

lately things are pretty good here in Aussie!

i move from my shoebox-size-of-a-room to Belinda's room!

twice the size! WHOOTS! *dances around the room whimsically*

i managed to throw 3 bags of garbage so i think its not bad for a hoarder like me...

but i still managed to fill up the room with many many things :poker face:

haha... but hey! at least:

• more then one chair is freed up

• the couch is empty waiting for guest

• there is leg space under my table

• and my door is able to swing open wide!

cant believed i actually posted these things online public...

but hey, there is millions of people ranting, i'm not the only one...

so who cares about iti-biti-singular me eh?

but i really really love my new room!

the rent is not bad! cause the Belinda held on to the apartment for a few years

and things can be strategically positioned, though some things seems to be higher...

theres more book-space, and spaces to hide things that i rarely use...

though there is more lights and a spot is not well lighted

but the table lamp that Belinda gave me is now put to good use! ^_^

and i still am excited that i actually can have ppl staying over comfortably!

cause i have a couch! oh joys! *rolls around the empty floor*

talking about people, i met Tani in the elevator by chance recently...

she is from America (how cool is that) and i am very jealous of her height (which i made it known to her, if she stays in my place she wouldnt probably climb around to get things like i do, which i did it in spiderman-style... like a boss!)

anyways, its her first time out of her continent and many things had happened to her, other then that, i think she seems to be doing well ^_^

this semester is gonna be interesting... so many white people!!! not that i am racist or anything (am factual! like "dr" Lloyd Lowery!)

they are just really different... cause usually i see a lot of asian, like what i see in Singapore

and so this is pretty cool! so diverse! now we have...

singaporeans, malaysians, indonesians, china chinese, mauritian, indians, italians, americans, australians... whos gonna be here next?! spanish? russians? jews?... if a british and an australian speak, would they have similar accent?

okay i seems to be rambling on and on and on and on...

i should get back to getting my mac organised...
