Harsh Reality

I am turning into a bionic man very soon. Whahaha... Why? Slept for 3 hours, rushed for tuition, then headed to work. Major events taking place, that kept me busy throughout the day. By the way, its SUNDAY, when everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am back in office pulling my hair like no body business. Argh...

Sometimes, i think of friends around me. I told jun and even ken, we worked so hard yet earn peanuts. There are others, who worked as hard but earn a million. Damnz. We are still being managed like a small fry in an organisation. Others have started managing pple. I look for jobs, for others, jobs look for them. What the hell is going on?

I cant help but feel demoralise or better still, disgusted. I blame myself for my so-so achievement. Ken said, we are not stupid but why are we treated this way. I have not really thought abt it. However, what he said is pretty true.

The movie, "Click" which i watched it with jun, reflected some reality in life. No doubt you can have success in career, nothing beats the love at home. I kinda agree. Nonetheless, without bread and butter, everything will crash into pieces esp life in Singapore.

I pity the lead actor, who wants to give his family a comfortable home, but have to work long hours daily. On the other hand, i also understand the wife, who wants a husband who could spend more time at home. Its a matter of give and take. It is difficult to have the best of both world.

Cost of living in Singapore is high. There is no way we can avoid. To start a family means financially ready. No money no talk. It may sound simple but in the harsh reality, this is true. Ask ard, if someone can say "no money can talk", let me know. I dun mind pple donating into my funds. ha... I can let you know my account.

If only i am better paid... haiz...

Hi there,

Didn't return your previous comment because was too busy preparing myself for the new job. And currently, settling down into my new one.

Read your latest entry, sometimes money is not everything. But Money is the ONLY thing. Haha. joking la. I personally think that comparison between peers will only boils down to misery. Therefore, don't compare. As long as you are happy, that should be enough. You are not happy because there's a relative scale.

Look at you, a job that you probably like, a good gf, a harmonious family, good health. What else? Me? Ok job, No bf! No one to love me!!!

Haha, but I'm not giving up. I always believe that there's a better tomorrow and we experience things for a reason.

Take care and hope to see you soon. Psst: Saw ron the other day, still as kuku. Haha.
