monday 29/8/2005

im back.. with a change in my blogskin. haha. couldn't find a really nice one, so i think i shall stick with this skin. well.. this skin is not that bad either? hahaha. ADIDAS lei.. my fav. lolz. hmm... can somebody tell me where i can buy the adidas jacket from? hmm.. i'm not looking for those super thick one, i want those that are meant for casual wearing de. if anybody knows, you can leave a message at my tagboard or msn me. thanks!!

have been idling around for the past few days, but i guess i've gotta do some cleaning up. well.. i've cleared my last sem books (lecture notes, tutorials, textbooks), and chucked them on a shelf. my shelf was super damn dusty, so i cleaned it and dumped everything inside. haha. since its already holidays, i don't wanna see any books. hehe. so my table is empty except for my tutorial notes. i can't find a place to squeeze them in. >.<

so.. that's the only productive thing which i did ytd. haha. i'm planning to clear my cupboard today. its so packed till i can't find any new space to put my clothes. i even have to squeeze mine with my sis. =X now, my aunt is gonna dump her office clothes cuz she put on weight, and she told me to drop by her house whenever i'm free to try on the clothes. man.. that time i went into her room, there were THREE BIG cupboards of clothes. PACKED!! -.-" and she has two long (full-length) mirrors. oh yay~ this means that i don't have to buy office clothings le!! =X can spend that $$$ on something else. hehheh.

well.. i have been pondering over something since examinations have ended last thurs. has it ever come across your mind, why do YOU learn/obtain a skill for? is it because of for the sake of studying and obtaining a degree/diploma (because your parents want you to do so), and you feel, with a degree/diploma, there are better future prospects for you, as compared to others when it comes to looking for a job? is that truth?! if that's the case, its really really very sad. i have always thought people learn, because of their interest or passion, but i find it totally unbelievable and ridiculous that people learn for the sake of learning. yes, s'pore is growing to become a global city in the years to come, and of cuz, s'poreans have to be educated enough to work at higher ranking jobs. what i mean by educated in this case is having at least a degree, diploma or any higher education level. however, in order to obtain at least a degree/diploma, it boils down to individual's interest in learning and obtaining a skill. if there is no interest in learning or obtaining a new skill, i see no point in pursuing a diploma or degree which is not of your own interest. u might as well go out and start work. i'm serious. well, there are people outside who thinks bloggers do not reveal the truth about themselves, all they do is to paint a beautiful picture of themselves in their blog, and people will believe that they are really such nice and great people. so, i shall make myself straight now, i do not lie in my blog yea? if you still refuse to believe me, there's nothing i can do because i don't like to go around begging and pleasing people to agree with what i say, but this doesn't mean that i will go round offending people for no reason. yes, in primary school, i didn't know what pursuing an education meant, but when it came to secondary school, the meaning of pursuing a education became clearer to me. of cuz it meant moving on to the next level (JC/Poly/ITE etc.), and i did enjoy studying, learning and absorbing new knowledge from the subjects i studied. during the period whereby there are a few months break after O levels, i seriously considered where i wanna go, what my options would be after i get my O levels results. i struggled to find an answer, to whether jc or poly would be a better option for me. i chose poly in the end, because i knew i enjoyed studying accounting (YES, i know it sounds really silly because some find acc totally boring), and i know i will be able to manage fine, and most importantly, its my interest and i'm willing to pursue a higher education in accounting. till here, i want to make it clear that i'm not picking on anybody in particular, i'm just speaking in general. as for those who are pursuing an education of their own interest, that's definitely great.. but as for those who are pursuing an education which are not of your own interest, be it for whatever reasons (did not want to enter that particular course, did not do well in O /A levels to go to the course you want etc.), i seriously think you should reconsider what your purpose in life is, and what career you wanna be doing when you enter the working world. i'm not asking you to quit the course that you are studying now, but think what are you doing to your life, and change your mindset if you have to, since you're already in that course. just two things to conclude with, don't deprive others of the chance of studying the course they want, and pursue your own dream (not your parents).

ok, that's all for today. wishing those who are having presentations and examinations the best of luck!! jiayou greas`y.. =)
