Convocation

Finally, convocation is still around the corner. The day when I first went to register for my degree still seemed vivid in my mind. How I've dreaded the day when finally went for my first class. Along the way, there were bumps around here and there and suffice to say, I was able to complete the offerred degree. And now, it's time for convocation. How time really flies. I knw no matter how much I say this most of you would still call me weird, but, the workings of the universe still amazes me all the time. Being a fan of fantasy-genre novels, it comes as a no surprise that I'm attracted to these things. Sometimes it still got me thinking, how did I ever got to the point in my life in the first place. Sitting here writing this blog made me think - am I deserving of this life? Even though most of the ppl said I'm so fortunate in my life nw, but, what they see if just the outer shell and not the core. As they say, the opportunity to attend a convocation is just a once in a lifetime chance. Some even went the miles so that everything is perfect in their convocation. But what really annoys me now is that - why should we pay when we graduate. It just seems so ridiculous to me cause it's not like I did not pay for the courses that I took in the uni. So the question is - why do we have to pay for the certificate that some of us have studied so hard for?! Anyway, hopefully those that are graduating soon will have the moment in their life.

Space

Have u ever have the feeling that you wan some space all to yourself? Your own room, chair, table, cup, laptop and the list just goes on and on... Having the space which is yourself alone and you wouldn't have to share it with any1 nor do u have to compete with any1 as if everything is about competition..

Unfortunately there's no such thing as ur own space in reality. There's always something in ur way that hinders you to achive the things that you wan to fulfill. For me, I'm just a sinple person. I dun need to have every1 ard me and I'm capable of being alone on my own (except there are times when u can't help it and need some1 there to talk to..)

Just today my boss said to me - "Why dun you join any activities with us? U're not there for dinner and u're not there during happy hour." As it happens, the only thing that can come up with is spending time with my family. And even this is met with " Do u work on Saturdays and Sundays?" which left me speechless.

This really caught the interest in me to post a blog on this - are there any1 out there who feels that it's ur obligation to go for dinner with ur bosses and colleagues after work? Personally, I find it silly that after a day of hard work, the only thing that I want the most is to spend some quality time with my family regardless of working days or weekends.

Content with Life

I was going out for a car wash and suddenly it dawned on me that how many of us out there is actually content with their life? Or should say is there any out there who are content with their life at this point? Taking a car for example, when we were younger we hoped that we're older soon so that we can drive a car. When we're older then, we hoped that we got a job so that we can afford a car instead of driving that old wrecked. Then, when we finally got ourselves a job, we got ourselves a car. Yay! A car! How awesome is that right? Nostalgia might only last for a few months in this case cause sooner or later we will want something better than the one that we own now. But, the question here is - will this be taken as a sign of materialism as seen by others or as a challenge to improve oneself in life? Personally, I would say it's a little bit of both. Who wouldn't wan to look cool when driving around town? Honestly there's no point in denying it. So, who's content with their life???

The Price of Getting Older

So many days have passed and the wheels turned, looks like the business is back. Gone are the good old days, yet they dun feel much different to me. Oft times, people would say it to your face 'Dun worry son, you'll understand when u're older'. Even that does not ease your piece of mind when you're older nw. There's just more weight left on your shoulders.

When we were young, we wished we older. When we were studying, we wished we are working. Even the poor wished they are rich. There are so many wishes being wished in one day and sort of makes you wonder do they get fulfilled at all?? As the saying goes - you dun gt your wish without any effort. There's so many self- help books today so go pick one up!!
