Havn't really been updating my blog regularly since SIP began not long ago
Sigh, i also duno what has been happening in my life
Seems to have strayed afar from many of my friends already
Yet sometimes, things are like that in life,
Absence makes the heart fonder
I guess these times away from Temasek Polytechnic have made me realize just how much i miss poly life in school and how much i miss every single one of my friends
Even though we may not meet often but a lot of you are in my constant prayers
Although i have change my perspective of the working society because of this industial attachment opportunity, i have began to have a clearer picture of what i want in my life
Definately not a mudane 8 to 5 pm job
Of course it is secure and not easy to get a high paying job straight after NS
but i guess i will really take the time when i am serving National Service to think thought what future i want for myself
Seeing some of my colleagues at age of 25 to early 30 earning around 1.9k to 2.5k
Just felt like it is not enough
Espicially when a guy have many "wants"
- Comfortable Lifestyle
- Car
- Apartment
- Get Married
- Go On Honeymoon
All these equates to a lot of money
What about earning enough money to let your parents retire in comfort?
I dun want a Basic Job
Although i like simplicity
Basic Pay = Basic Life
Just how much is enough?
I guess it is different for each individual
But i am quite aware how much i want
Thinking back on my global citizenship trip to Vietnam, i do see a lot of opportunities there
What about the other countries i have not visited yet?
Bangkok woould be the next destination i would be planning to visit
Let hope i be able to do it before i Enlist into National Service
National Service would mark another significant chapter in my life
Through the lessons and experiences i have had in temasek polytechnic, just hope to close this wonder chapter of my life with a simple prayer for all my friends
"Pray for all the lecture , tutorial , lab to be interesting enough so you wun fall asleep, no more last minute studying , helpful groupmates and friends , great positive attitude , good time mangement , self-intiative , to be able to pick yourself up when you fall , Friends and more Friendship to be formed, Patience for things to unfold(Ultimately It is all God's Plan), love and compassion for each other , not resentment , optimism , know your goal and set your priorities , Let loose and relax and play your heart out at least once in your POLY journey (JUST DO IT), Great Memories to hold on to and lastly to always reflect on our actions and see if we have made an impact on someone's life"
One day after you have graduated, perhap you can smile and look back on how many people's path u have came across as you walk into their life, maybe just cheering them up a little, a lame joke or a good corny line, interesting conversations, intellecture questions , heart to heart talks
and so much more
Life should be a picture
where we always smile when we pose
Forget all the unhappiness
Smile and put one on those you care
Attachment is ending in another 4-5 weeks or so
I will continue planning my life from there onwards
Just hope God will show me the way and the path he wants me to take
