Exams are finally over at last.Despite the strange fact that I'm not feeling the least bit excited this time.I guess it's probably due to the fact that I wouldn't be expecting any good results this time round.Well.Even though I say this,I guess I have no right to complain about anything.Since I've already been expecting bad results even way before the exams began.Really been too complacent this sem.Really hope that I can do something about this slack attitude for the next sem.(Wait a min.This sentence sounds really familiar.)
But despite all that.Everything's good since I can be stressfree for a while once again.But more importantly.I think it's time for a lot of major backlogs and updates.
I've been contemplating a lot of things during this period of time.Mainly about what I should be doing after getting my diploma,even though you may say it's more like counting the chickens before they hatch.Well.To me it's more like a matter of feeling sick of school life.Both the studying part and the dealing with people part.Especially since I'm kinda in a not that happening class.Anyway.Not gonna talk about my class.
After Poly.I guess I've 2 choices.Either I continue being a student and go on to university or I can start working and do a part time degree.I guess both ways will get me to the same goal,but somehow the latter sounds less feasible as everyone I'm sure everyone agrees that once a person starts working,the interest and energy he originally had for studying starts dwindling day by day as the tiring effects of work start kicking in.Eventually,the person totally gives up and concentrates on working instead.Well.I definitely do not have the confidence of not ending up in the same state as so many have.Especially since I'm definitely one with Jack's "All work no play" mentality.I feel both are equally important,which probably means I would never be able to devote myself completely to work and studying.
Yet.When I think about the currently very stale and uninteresting time I'm spending in Poly now,I being to dread the next 3 or 4 years I would be spedning in university,even though most people would tell me that uni life is totally different.Sure, different in the sense that I would be feeling stress at a level that I would never be able to comprehend right now.Since for the past 2 years I can kinda say that I got by my Poly life with a little hard work,lots of good friends' help and a hell lot of even more luck.And somehow,I begin to come to the realization that I would no longer be able to do the same thing when I start university life.Man.
Furthermore,looking at most of my friends,who've already gone past the studying stage of theirs lives,and had moved on to the working and supporting themselves and their parents stage,kinda makes me feel a little low self esteemed and ashamed of myself.When can I stop depending on my parents and really start supporting myself completely.When will I break free from their bonds and restrictions and truly be in control of my own life.I really do not know.
So to put it in simple words.I'm stuck in a really great dilemna.
If I dun do a degree.Times ahead will definitely be harder.Not impossible but rather more difficult.
Yet.If I try to do a degree.I'm afraid I may not be up to it.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
All that aside.I've also come to a great realization recently.
The world out there is really vast.And yet all this while I've been contented hiding beneath my comfortable shell,thinking that all things bright and beautiful can be found within my own little comfortable space.
Well.How wrong I've been.All along,I've always thought myself to be a little bit of somebody,if not a little somebody,yet in the end.I realized that I'm actually nobody at all.There are so many talented people,hidden and humble.Choosing to keep themselves low profile and not showing off their abilities at all.Yes.Call me thick skinned.I've always thought myself to be a rather good singer.So.I've always hoped that I'll become a performer someday.NOT a superstar mind you.But just a normal singer that gets a chance once in a while to perform on stage,and hear the applause and appreciation of a small audience.If I can be that,I'll already be very satisfied.And just recently,I thought that I was finally closing in on this little dream of mine.My friends have all been very encouraging,telling me that I would definitely make it one day.And of course,I'm very thankful for their support and their confidence in me.
But in the end.Even if people did feel that I was pretty good,or even if I did really have a little talent,I know that compared to the many people I've encountered recently and since I start work at Echo,I'm seriously nobody,not even something worth mentioning.There're really just.Too many talented people.Too many.So much so that I'm starting to feel how stupid I've been in thinking that I was finally coming close to becoming a performer at last.Eventually,I was still mada mada dane after all.Heh.It's a sad truth.But obviously,I'm not gonna give up just like that.Instead,I've now looked at my dream in a whole new light,in that I know that there's still many areas I have to work on and improve.And from now on,I'll just continue to pursue my dream,one little step at a time.And not be too anxious with the chicken counting.
All these aside though,I'm really glad to have been assigned to Echo for my ITP.Or rather,I feel that I'm really lucky to have managed to get myself to serve my ITP there.Seriously,I'm a really slow learner,which means that whenever I start working in a new environment,I'll always make a hell lot of mistakes in the beginning and will only get used to the work after a certain period of time.And ITP,being only one month long,definitely will not give me enough time to "get used" to work without me ending up with a grade of "E" for my ITP.Which is why,being placed at Echo where I've already worked at part time for almost half a year,is really a blessing for me.For that,I'm really thankful.Finally.There was something to be happy about after all the pessimistic paragraphs of complains earier on.
Also.(I know I know.I'm ending with this.)It's time for me to be getting back in shape.I've really been procrastinating with my diet and exercise.Since I'm the kind who will go to extremes when I do things,meaning when I eat,I eat a lot,and when I exercise,I really exercise like mad.Which is why having been in the "eat like mad" mode recently,I've really gained quite a bit of flab.And having made a stupid and overconfident bet with Mr Iron Barbie before he left.It's really time for me to start getting back in shape before he coems back.Heh.Guess I really have lots to do for this holiday period.
Well.That's all for this post folks.Hope to meet up with you guys all soon.Even though we seem to be in the endless cycle of "you guys free I not free and when I free you guys not free".Hah.Let's just try and set aside a time to meet up sometime.Really haven't seen some of you guys in a long time.
Seeya guys!
