Sometimes... when u haf e urge to blog, u really need to blog on e day itself in order to retain e 'feel'...

I am about to graduate in abt half a year's time. If i haven decide what industry or line i am going to enter, it is clearly e time to start now...

Sometimes, i feel uncertain abt myself. I know i'm competing wif alot of graduates from better schools. And i know my grades, even though good, may not mean i am on par with them.

When i attend canoeing gatherings, my team mates are always comparing and asking each other abt "caps". No body bother to ask mi bcos my school's system is different from e rest... meaning, i sit for exams only once a year, while they are sitting for exams twice a year.

Even though i haf nothing to contribute, i juz listen lor. No harm mah... i dun feel neglected. In e meanwhile, i juz feel a little scared inside mi. Dat maybe i may not be as successful as them.

When my canoeing coach is around, he loves to ask us what school are we in, what are our grades etc etc... I have long come to realise that this man whom all of us respect alot, has developed elitism in e team. When he talks abt e successful students dat he has groomed, i asked myself whether he will still be proud of us if we grow up to be juz an ordinary employee.

With his years of experience 'grooming elites', is he able to spot who is going to be successful years later from now? If yes, judging on academic results?


I think it is not e first time i'm blogging on this. I just feel that i need to question myself some issues. Revisit this issue.

When i started my uni education, i told myself dat i need to prove myself. Dat i haf worth (i mean every individual have worth). Even though i may not necessarily earn super alot of money in future, but i still have exceeded my limits. With that, life is already fulfilling and meaningful... isn't it?

A good degree can only help us that much. E rest depends on ourselves. Our attitude, dillgence and developing passion for work. Turning a job into a career.

Right?

I mustn't give up on myself and my degree, meaning anyhow study, scrapped thru, and obtain a degree *nods*

I made a decision to pay for my exam fees myself (2000+). This is probably all my wealth, and god knows how many damn years this spendthrift took to save. So dat i will hate myself greatly if i didn't put in my 100% effort.

It shall be an investment. (force a smile)

So, if my sisters are reading this, be rest assured dat i will work as hard as e previous years. And having a boyfriend isn't going to change things. (except on saturdays.. sat off day lah)

OK?

Let mi narrate another story.
When i juz working with Singtel during my summer break, i ran into a office lady. She was from my sec sch and was either in e normal/ normal tech stream. She was impeccably dressed and walking out from OCBC bank with clients/ colleagues. I was impressed at how well she is doing now, and happy for her at e same time. Even though she isn't as outstanding academically, but look where she is now? Well ahead than people her age..

If she traded extra yrs of academic education into mentoring, perhaps she had made a better move. who knoes...?

This entry is so serious. Haha... (u can breathe now, relax!) It is a motivating notice to myself.
(Aiya, i'm not always so crazy one. U think i'm only good at posing photos here, there, all over e place meh?)

And...

Did i motivate anyone with this entry? This qn sounds a little disgusting. I dunno why i haf frens telling mi i had (accidentally) motivated them during those normal chats.

So much so dat my first (and last) date wif my previous boyfriend, ended wif him rushing home to study. -_-
