It's 2007 and everyone's busily making their new year resolutions, but well i'm different, because I never remember my resolutions.
Few days ago when I went out with MB, Nigel asked me, "Tuck, so what's the most regretful thing in your 2 years in SAJC?" This question is pretty thought-provoking, and I ended up thinking about this that night:
1. During the 2 years in SAJC, I did not get to keep in touch with my secondary and primary school friends, even though I see them on my msn list and I'm online quite often. For those in the same school as I am, it's the same case. Well, maybe because I do not see them in school since my timetable clashes with theirs(Gary, Simon, Sim Hui).
Someday I should just send them a message or two before I enlist, since I do not think I have the time to do anything of this sort after I enlist;
2. Apart from my friends from the past, as a class rep, I actually allowed my class to disintegrate. I say this because I think I played a major role in breaking the class up, hahahaha, when I thought of it, I thought it was pretty funny. Anyway, it is really sad to see my class end up like that. Well, at least the boys are pretty united -- excluding some.
The saddest thing -- I can't do anything to change this.
Well, I think I shouldn't be looking back so much, and move on forward. I hope all my friends the best of health in 2007, may their wishes come true and, for those in army, stay alive. Happy new year everyone!
-------------------------------------------
I've yet to find a job other than taking up relief teaching in my secondary school, but they only call me up if there's a need. And some people say I'm wasting my life away(since I have nothing to do for half of November and the whole of December), but I beg to differ. I think it all depends on how people define "life". For these people I think they're worse than what I am now -- they actually slog their lives away, leaving no time for themselves and their families For me, at least I'm taking up a new musical instrument and spending more time with my family(like having more family dinners or dinners with my grandmother because i hardly see them when there was school and time was tight).
These sloggers can argue that I will not have money, but if I can go out in moderation, I won't have problem with money. And if they're working their lives away for money, then it's really sad.
I'm not finding excuses to not work, but it's up to me to decide how I make use of my time and how I "waste" my life. Even if I want to work, I'd rather work for my mom at home, doing the chores and tidying up the house. Why work for people when my mother needs help at home? Anyway, this post is only a rebuttal to whoever who says that not getting a job is a waste of time and life, and I'm not against looking for a job.
It's all about perspectives man. Why the fuck they want to impose their thoughts of life on me?
Once again, happy new year.
