how many of us still remember wat we dreamt to be when we were 5, 10 and 16? how many of us is studying or working out of passion and not 'coz we have to do it' or 'coz every1 needs to study/work'? Have anyone of us stopped wat we r doing and think, is this wat u really like? is this wat u really want?
Since young, we were guided to study hard.. so we can get gd jobs next time.. wat issit mean by 'gd jobs'?? Jobs with high pay even though u have no interest in it? in Spore, children have to undergo a complusory 6 yrs of eductaion. that is Pri 1-6. however, in order to be able to catch up in Pri 1.. it's best to go kindergarten. in order for kids to get use to sch life... it's gd for them to go to nusery b4 going to K1... in order for them to be able to cooperate/ communicate with other little kids... it's gd for them to go into play group.. and guess wat... at the young age of 3 ppl start studying. then after P6.. though it's end of the 'compulsory' education... every1 noe very well that w/o at least an 'o' lvl.. u cant do anything.. so ppl went on.. getting 'o' lvl or 'n' lvl', or ite. after that, there r options, poly or JC... JC then u have to get 'a' lvl.. but with only 'a' lvl.. we cannot do anything.. so we muz strive for a degree... we can choose the poly rotute.. at least a Diploma is SOMETHING... can get a job... but then agian.. to most of the ppl now... degree is the minimum... Dip. is also not enough... all add up.. coz of this.. most have to study for almost 20 yrs... but is this wat u want? study for 20 yrs, then come out, get a job and happily ever after.
wat job u want? wat kind of work u looking for? anybody ever tot of that? well.. i guess most had.. n most didnt get to do wat they want. E.g, u went to Uni sci course major in Chem coz u r very very interested in Chem, n really hope to work in labs or similar. but when u graduate, u cant find the job u want n u settle on sth else like banking... there's no link frm wat u have studied hard for n wat u r working as. this is the case for most ppl. wat they studied is very different from wat their job. this is call ?�`. u cant help it.. coz society cause u to be this way.
I've chosen the JC route.. to get 'A' then go unversity get a degree.. and end up... i cant make it... i can... to a course i have no interest in. somebody once asked me.. 'u have a chance to get into uni.. y u chose to go back poly?' i replied coz my results were not gd enough to get into the course i want. tt person cont'd, 'but at least u can get into the uni!' at that time i really tot i made the wrong choice.. to give up uni.. but then again.. if i went into the course i not interested in, juz to get the degree... coz every1 muz have it.. will i be happy?? no i wun.. in fact i'll be very miserable... most ppl wanna get a degree.. no matter if the course offered interest them anot... juz get a degree... but u r going to spend 3-4 yrs of ur life doing sth u dun like.. juz to get that degree... then when u come out, u do sth compeletly different... so tt 3-4 yrs.. can it considered well-spent?
then got another person asked me, 'y dun u repeat JC2 one more yr, retake 'A' again, then try Uni again' but ans was..i've lost interested.. JC is not a place for me.. i dun wanna stay in there anymore longer... but then they argued tt i can get into Uni faster.. Degree again! y every1 wanna take the shortest time to get the degree? wat does it signify? u r the cream of the crop? u r the best? with tt degree u get get 'gd jobs'? mayb is yes to all the ans... but one thing.. can u truly be happy? if u happen to be in a field u dun like.
i chose to go back poly, coz i'm doing wat i'm interested in... i want to do wat i'm interested in. i dun wanna be the slave in the society... to some of u.. this mayb stupid, mayb immature... some may even ask.. how r u going to survive in this cruel society?? yes, mayb someday i'll surrender to the society.. n like most ppl.. doing sth they dun really like.. but for survival sake... still, i will not give up my interest... will not forget my dream.. no matter how long, how difficult.. i muz fulfiled my dream..
to ppl out there: think wat is truly ur dream? there are many different routes to fulfil ur dreams.. juz how flexible u r... so y give up when they is a possiblilty?
i dunno how many ppl understand wat m i typing.. (coz my english not gd mah).. i oso dunno how many ppl disagree wat i've said.. but this is how i felt abt the society... so dun understand, then dun care lor.. ahhaa
