It is quite not-possible for me to hit hiatus.

For blogging that it.
See life's precious and technically there is no way to capture and savour every second.
The next best way (to me) is to have them written down.
That is to say that Blogspot.com lasts forever.

It has been a long week as usual.
The weekdays so long yet the weekend blinks.

Well...to say I still enjoy working in a lean sense.
I just dont like it when it becomes monotonous.

In my own school of thinkings, I think that proverty your financial status, your marital status, whether ya schooling or not, in a sitting on a 4oth floor building or flipping burgers at basement,it really doesnt matter.

It's the lifestyle that we have to lead.

In Singapore,you can really only spell and write this word (I mean, Life style) if you are so damn filthy bloody rich.

Again it is only when you are rich, you are fit to talk about things like dreams and live a life.

Oh dont blah me with nonsenses telling me I'm not right.

Yea,I admit I am not fully right but that wont mark me wrong either.

Say you dont have a family to support, the figures that your parents had been inputting in your bank is enough to last you till uni and so on.

You come out to work and that is really an option for you.
To you, youth is youth.
21 is 21.
Long way ahead.
You can work a few months,taking it as an experience, a thrill ride.
Think you dont like it,change it.

Having your passport chopped is not a big deal.
Hey,you should see the world while you have the time.
What's the point of trying to fly ard only when ya old and frilly.
But then again, when it's time for your retirement..you call it reminiscent trips.
Oh blah~

You would like to venture on your own.
Get a partner or not is luck.
So you have your own business.
Realise it's not as easy, close it then.
Hey it's not so bad, take it as an experience.

Technically you have what we call life.

So what's my point of reiterating the whole issue of Rich & Poor again?

No point, I ain't trying to prove anything.

Well, anything about that would have longed been proven beyond a shadow of doubt.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is that this is Singapore.
If ya not rich, you have to slog it.
Take it.
Even when ya old and frilly,you have to slog it.
Working at toilet,at BK,at foodcourt..whevever cheap but you still got to take it.

The whole lifestyle here is way too stereotypicated and suffocating.
The only good thing I could think of is the safe strategic location of Singapore.

Sure there are still a hundred more things that I could count my blessings.
But face it, the grass remains greener on the other side.
You try minusing the number of times you find yourself envying and dreaming about the life you want & cuss about what you are having now AND the number of times you thank God that you are not born inthe Third World Countries.
I dunno how saint you are, but I can frankly assure you that my results are like England team Vs Singapore team.
(Yes..Football,mate)


It's hard to be content living here and not quite ok to be so either.
Once ya content, it means that you are settle for it.
Hey Singapore's life wont stay managable for the rest of your life.
It gets tougher every season.
More tax,more crappy laws about your CPF and whatever,lower interest and so on.(and lower pay!)

So you only push yourself to move on.
Drive.
Get the grip.
Accelerate.

Coz we aint rich.
We cant enjoy.
Dont talk about dreams when you can barely have a lil' more dough till month ends.

I have got a lonely and sad unemployed dad right now.
He sleeps lesser and lesser.
I guess that's age.
If I'm lucky, I can still hear him and mum talking and sometimes laughing.

I have got a mum that I wouldnt want her to work that hard for too long.

But then what the crap?
This is Singapore.
Unless ya rich to travel around, not working signifies premature dying of life.
It could drives you to nuts and that's how worried I am for dad right now.

I have got a bro whose just doing odd jobs over the gloomy London.
What the hell?
It's not that you are there to realise some big ambition or a life long dream.
But now I am counting every minute of blessings that he is safe and fine there. (Not to mention I wouldnt want to hear more of that nonsense!)

And so I have got another bro whose still young and impetuous.
Young fella, still some years to go before he has got a head of his own.(hopefully by his adulthood,I dont want another like-older bro.)

Idont know if I have got any dreams.
Not too far fetch ambition, not me.

That's my placing in life.

I only want to be able to afford everything I wish to have comfortably and so for my family.

I have no wish to slog and lead this monotonous life.
But hell like I've got a choice?

The bad news is I aint got any hidden flair within me.
Cant sing,cant draw,cant act.
Cant play,cant cook.
Aint blessed with a face that can earn either.

My life cant be (like) a movie.
It's not like some talent scouts would bring me to galaxy.
It's not like some dying old man whom I just acquainted is the CEO of Creative.
It's not like I can spell happily ever after and rides away on a white house with his Highness.

Blah!
Blah!
Blah!

Well there's no point in carrying on thsi whole issue.
I'm just drilling the hole larger and larger and still it's a circle.

Anyway I watched Goal today.
Aint too bad but lots of flaws.
I wouldnt have know a thing of coz if not for that 'professional' sitting besides me.
Haha.

I love that accent and their manner of speaking.

So whatcha waiting for,son.
Go watch it.
