+thinking for once..+

national service is getting to the boring stages. the last month or so has made the whole bunk emptier as the days goes by. i still remember the day when we all moved into one little bunk. bangladesh workers' living conditions. it really pissed people off especially when the weather's not very kind either.

i got more time to ponder about the future, however daunting and blur it seems now. i just pray things would work out fine when the time comes. i know praying should be the last thing i ought to be using; it really useless and stupid to employ such a childish idea..

i realised that life in singapore was so much different as compared to other countries which didnt require as much time to work, work and work. places like france, scotland, switzerland, carribean, taiwan etc.. people actually pay more attention to enjoying the perks of life, appreciating the little scenery around them.

i guess in singapore, only the rich or the ones who didnt have to slog their lives out can actually do that. think driving around the mountains and enjoying the sea view. drinking wine, eating grapes, under the warm orange sun that is setting after a hot day.

we have to go through 10 years of basic eduction where you eventually get your o levels. then you venture out between a levels and a diploma. after which the boys get taken away for a two year hiatus on their studies, which in many cases, they do not have the spirit to study anymore because they feel so old to go back to school all over again.

if not, we can jump straight into the rat race, where you climb the ladder of success. you either work for the government, where you get taxed, cpf-ed. in the end, you get very little money you use to pay your bills, buy your house, car etc. guess what you're left with? some money you think its better to save for your kids' future. you dont really have money for yourself.

you think for awhile. this sucks. this cannot be it. i must work harder. you take up two jobs, even three for the very garang ones. you realise you get taxed more. you get even lesser. you got no time to rest. you start to lose your friends. you think how come the harder you work, the better the richer people enjoy their lives. you try your hand on the weekly 4D and toto and the monthly big sweep. you realise the chances of winning is as big as one cell. its pathetic.

i wished i would stop thinking about all these. its very scary..
