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.

My Donkey

Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!! Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of " Donkeys " in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too. Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance. Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and somet...

Random...

Just went up to Doulos wiv Mum, Paul and Kenny. The last time I went was around 15 year ago. But there weren't Mum, Paul or even Kenny. I was there with Leonard and Dad. Suddenly i missed the old times so much where Dad and Leonard is still around at home. Things have changed alot. Same ship, different companions, different feelings. Life has come a long way for me, and perhaps for everyone that i know. If only I can turned back time, I'll appreciate more all the times that we had, late night's chat, joking around and poking fun at each other . But again, that's human being's weakness--always take things for granted. You wouldn't realized how important a person in your life, or how fortunate to have experienced some things, until you lose it all. I've decided to go abroad. All the tests, the procedures, everything... sigh... it's a long way to go. I'm currently waiting excitingly for the coming school holidays, because that's the only time that I...

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 ...
