Yearning
Thursday, October 25, 2007
Haha, so today's the end of the first week of Os and I'm already rejoicing. Haha, rejoicing early cause I won't allow the stress and pressure to score well for Os to affect my usual mood. Haha.
There are so many things that I can think of now, things which I want to do after Os. I can like, write out one whole list of it and it's going to exceed more than 2 pages. To be able to be back on Ministry the very day my last paper ends is the best thing that will happen to me after Os.
Brother Sky gave me a hell of a beating and he thrashed me till kingdom come. Haha. Don't you just love church? My street credit of 4.28/5 can't even bit the slightest 299.49 street credit of Brother Sky's. You should have looked at how many people supported Brother Sky in this fight. Haha, I'm just so excited to be back on Ministry!
As such, Graduation Night follows, Amirul's TLP, 4C's chalet, church camp, Parachute Band, Vacation Bible School, Christmas.. Haha, I'm sure to get busy busy, not to mention I will be able to stay till late for Worship Prac, something which I have been longing to experience for a very very long time.
I have been thinking lately, just those usual random thoughts. Besides, you can never expect someone to study every single minute he/she is awake. What kind of thoughts?
I downloaded an album yesterday, Parachute Band's latest album, Roadmaps and Revelations and it's one of the best album I've ever heard throughout my years of listening to Christian Music. Back to foundation, every single expresses love and gratitude to The Highest One and I'm again reminded the purpose of my existence on this planet.
Parachute Band had a change of its band members and it's now 5 young male adults in the band. I'm unable get hold of the lyrics and the album was only released during September and I guess it has yet to do so in Singapore.
Now, it got me thinking about the future, of how you people would be living your lives and progressing and advancing forward. I've thought about my own life already, my next step; Now that I've got my DPA, I will get my diploma, serve NS for 2 years, if I'm able to do well I will study in NTU and obtain a degree. I'm going to be in the line of engineering so most of you won't be able to meet me. I can see that most of you would be businessmen and businesswomen. Lawyers, doctors, other professions and so on.
And it's left with me, equipped with an engineering degree and entering a market with no increasing demand for engineers. You can walk down the street now and you can pluck out engineers who are doing other jobs like sales and everything. Haha, this degree isn't going to help me much in the future, but heck, I'm only taking this as a back-up.
What am I going to do then? Serve in church would probably be the most concrete answer for now. I'm blessed with parents who actually respect my decision, just that not for now; presently. My dad just went: " I will send you through university and what you want to do with your life is up to you already. "
Well said ain't it? Even pastor is aware of current affairs and even my spiritual father is worried about my future. Education is the only way out of poverty, it is so damn true. In order to increase Singapore's population to help solve the problem of an ageing population, Singapore is attracting foreign expats, people from India who specialises in IT, people who are top executives of big companies and big lawyers would be moving to Singapore in the next couple of years and by the time we're ready for the workforce, we would be facing really strong competition.
Are you feeling worried now? Are you feeling worried that you would not be able to find a job in the future and would not be able to support a family? You would be facing stress both from work, parents and yourself cause you're too busy with your career and that you don't have time for social activities and you don't have time to find yourself a life partner. You will be pestered by your ISP, PUB, SP, CCC to pay your outstanding bills, you will worry about paying taxes. You get a car, worry about COE, insurance, maintenance.
Haha, all the troubles in life, gets more and more as you get older. What can I say, just do this shit, just like what Amirul says.
Geog Elect: I want high quality of living, besides high standard of living. Singapore's standard of living is rather there already, safe country, no natural disasters, most people live comfortably in flats or private property, most people having buying power.
Quality of living? Count the number of hair you drop each day as your age grows older and a cumulative frequency curve graph will tell you. (:
