In reality...

9 days.. glad that i made through the 1st phase of the "21 Days Theory". Would really like to thank Kat for the companionship through out the week. Thanks for giving me the ride home yesterday too.

Wow...been really busy these past 2 days. Lot's of work to be done as the interviews gonna start by next week. Somewhat a good change to distract my mind about relationship. Nevertheless, i actually gave a deep thought about my job, my surroundings, everything that i have gained for the past 2 months ++... Being such an enthusiasts in the academic field, i found myself not enjoying the job as i thought i'll be. There's seem to be a gap between my expectations and the reality.

  • My expectations... people in the academic field are open minded about sharing informations and knowledge. In reality... no one cares about you, not even you co-researcher or anyone that you're working closely with. Believe me, NO ONE. U ask questions, u find answers. Credit to the team, u're left out in the rain.
  • My expectations... professional people really know their work as stated in their resume. Which in this case, they are lecturers a.k.a. academic researchers. In reality... They have the slightest idea of what they are doing. The minute problems occured, they went haywire and everything is your fault.
  • My expectations... Call me naive, but i really do think that i can learn something here adn get appreciated. In reality... you are supposed to be dumb and better be good in acting it out. Never be 'Mr/Ms Smartpants' or you'll be receiving hate-letters from anonymous.

Sigh...there goes my dream career. Hopefully it's just an eny, tiny, micro group of workers in this industry. Or else, it'll be a sad, sad reality to be faced by our future generations.

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their

Liars in Training

I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses. Case 1: "I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. " Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie.. Case 2: " My mum brought me to
