hm... been getting a few requests from employers to see my complete resume.. they have intentions to hire me for positions in finance and retail.. however i doubt these as stable proper jobs. There was one company who was interested in meeting me and perhaps offer me the position of a financial planner.. I was of course, taken aback. i mean i have not gotten my degree yet, i hardly excelled academically in these past few years, and i am gonna manage peoples' wealth? if i were a powerful investor, i would think twice before i entrust my mass wealth to a firm like you. A short visit to their website confirms my suspicions. It was an unprofessional-looking website. My english is not A grade either. However, impression counts and the webby of the firm was cannot make it lah! Their english was laughable and the prizes they were awarded were numerable but vaguely described. Im sorry but i shall not waste my precious youth and bright future on you guys. HOHO.
eurgh.. i was just thinking about my life. Im uncontented the way ive managed it.. i have many dreams i wanna pursue.. however given my constraints.. i may take twice as long as many other people to reach them. its hurts lah sometimes..
but now.. i believe that whatever you do, you have to be patient and be extremely determined so as to achieve a pre-set outcome. It takes ultimate sacrifices along the way and i hope i have the courage to do that.
some of my goals include:
studying overseas a period of time in my life. of course it will be great if it is new york university or london school of economics. im not happy with just getting couped up in singapore and not being challenged academically. Im not trully learning in the environment im in. i just utterly want to make up for the lack thereof academic pursuits in my mid schling life.
besides.. i wud love to taste another type of life and culture..
im tired of the myopic-ness of singaporeans.
what we have of the general population is the strong preoccupation with looks, money and status.
a shallow, rude, self-centered bunch who do not much appreciate the arts.
if you look deeper into these people, its just all hollow inside.
i dun wanna waste like that *shudders*
of course im not saying that in overseas, a better life we have there. but the fact is, down here, we have nothing to call our own?
if you tink deeply, what is there in this place to call our own?
we are so interfused with influences from other countries, the idea of us being creative from now is just laughable. we are so busy copying others we forgot the creation that we make is not wholly us. just take a look at channel 5 and 8. i hardly watch tv but the few times i watched i thought its all silly. the local programes somehow always manage to mimic foriegn top shows its a pain in the ass to watch. whats worse, it was a blatant copy so much so that you cringe just to watch it.
i give up on our local culture.
i want to taste the various riches and the rich histories of other countries many times before the end of my life. :)
to learn foreign language..
to learn drums and start on go karting.
to be able to work in an investment bank someday....
