All of a sudden I have the habit of observing other people and learn from their behaviours and actions. I recalled this friend from Signal Institute who earned over 3k a month before he enlisted and over 1k as a NSF. He would forsake his weekends to give tuition instead of spending some well deserved time with his friends and family. Not that it is tough in SI but still spending a week in camp.. well it still sucks.Anyway, back to the topic, when I asked him why he is slogging his guts out for, he replied with a simple answer: so as to provide a better life for his family when he starts one. With further probing, I learnt that he changed his JC to one that offer him the course he wants, although he didnt like it much, went extensively to uni open house to understand more about them etc. It really showed how much effort he puts in to reach his goal. I have always wanted to give my family a good life too but I have never really put in any effort to justify my promise. I had the option of studying 4 sub but I choose not to because I claimed that it would be too tedious. This in turn made it impossible/useless for me to take S papers, thus no chances at attempting for scholarships. And not taking 4 sub apparently made it more difficult for me to gain a place in pharmacy. Sheesh...All these just because I wanted the easy way out. Furthermore, I have shown no interest in finding out more about each uni. Bleahh... shows how lazy I am. Bah.. I can only pray hard I get pharmacy. If not I just have to make do with chemistry. Regreting is not a option now. Thursday, September 28, 2006, 9:54 AM
I no longer wish to turn back time. Why? Cause I found out that running away is not the solution to your problems. I have this friend in my platoon now who sunk into a state of depression a couple of weeks ago. I think everyone else did, just that his was a much more serious case. Ever since he came back he has been thinking of downgrading. All his actions have prompt me to think about how pampered our generation is.Everytime we run into hardship, only two options appear. Either we try to escape from it or we turn to our parents. Those who stay to go through it are scarce. How can we learn like that? Our every need is provided by our parents and there were even times when our parents step in to solve the problems for us. I dont deny that I am guilty of that. It is time to grow up. Well what I said doesnt apply to everyone. Its just what I feel about this guy. Anyway HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! Haha Im nineteen! Almost leaving the teenager stage soon. I only have to spend 1 more birthday as a NSF before I ORD! I particularly like this song from Jay Chou. 听妈妈的话 小朋友你是否有很多顽抗 为什么别人在那看漫画 我却在学画画 对这钢琴说话别人在玩游戏 我却在躲在家背abc 我说我要一架大大的飞机 我却得到一只旧旧螺旋机 为什么要听妈妈的话 长大后你就会开始懂得这段话 长大后我开始明白 为什么我跑得比别人快 飞得比别人高 将来大家看的都是我画的漫画 大家唱的都是我写的歌 妈妈的心她不让你看见 温暖的事都在她心里面 有空就得多摸摸她的手 把手牵着一起梦游 听妈妈的话别让她受伤 想快快长大才能保护她 美丽的白发幸福中发芽 天使的魔法温暖中慈祥 在你的未来音乐是你的王牌 那王牌谈的恋爱 而我不想把你教坏 还是听妈妈的话吧 晚年再恋爱吧 我知道你未来的路 干嘛比我更清楚 你因为太多学习的同学在这块写东写西 但我建议最好听妈妈我会用功读书 用功读书怎么会从我嘴巴说出 不想你输所以要叫你用功读书 妈妈挑给你的毛病你要好好的收着 因为不知道是我要告诉她我还留着 对了我会遇到周润发 所以你对跟同学炫耀赌神未来是你爸爸 我找不到你写的情书 你喜欢的要承认因为我会了解你会在操场上牵她 你会开始喜欢唱流行歌 因为张学友开始准备唱吻别 听妈妈的话别让她受伤 想快快长大才能保护她 美丽的白发幸福总发芽 天使的魔法温暖中慈祥 听妈妈的话别让她受伤 想快快长大才能保护她 长大后我开始明白为什么我 跑得比别人快飞得比别人高 将来大家看的都是我画的漫画 大家唱的都是我写的歌 妈妈的心她不让你看见 温暖的事都在她心里面 有空就得多摸摸她的手 把手牵着一起梦游 听妈妈的话别让她受伤 想快快长大才能保护她 美丽的白发幸福中发芽 天使的魔法温暖中慈祥 Sunday, September 03, 2006, 7:30 PM
I have come to realise the fact that I'm stuck in Lim Chu Kang Camp for the rest of my national service and I have the choice to make the stay good or bad. The past week wasnt as bad as the first, most probably I have somewhat adapted to the life there.Suprisingly, we dont do much signal stuff up to this point in time. Instead we have at least 1 physical training each day, on top of 5 basic exercises in the morning, in fact I dont think its even 5 basic exercise ( We have more than 5 exercises and some are not 'basic'). The PT sessions are well... I dont even feel like mentioning them because we do ridiculous number of push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks etc. Our sergeant claims that all these are to prepare us for Brunei trip. The only consolation and thing (other than ORD) I look forward to is the Taiwan trip sometime in late Feb/early Mar next year =D And... 4 SIR is helping out in World Bank Meeting this year but I cant reveal much on this. We'll have 4 days off after the event! Anyway... thank you to those who consoled and talked to me! Im really grateful for that! I still have that little bit of resentment in me but I guess it'll probably go away soon. 520 to ORD |
