It's gonna be graduation.
i have no special inclination to it at all,
just another rites of passage thing to me,
rather pointless, cuz probably I didnt put it much effort
so the cert isnt something very worthy to me.
But anyway, glad that I gonna be graduating,
all the projects and intern all over.
I had a catch up with a course mate,
really amazed how much of our theory works he could still rmb,
really rare to find ppl like him that treasures the knowledge we gained as much already.

Anyway, so it woudl be friend bday too,
so gonna have a rojak celebration tmr.
First is for wushu post graduation dinner,
then is for my graduation,
then is for fren bday.

So honoured that without organizing,
wushu guys are coming, cell, ex cell, and ex students.
10 ppl are coming to see my graduation,
I think thats the most number of visitor anyone I know ever had sia!

=)

feel bad not having much time catching up with ppl,
but cuz of work anyway.
the pay isnt good right now,
but i still accepted the full time position,
due to more working hours,
job familiarity and satisfaction,
opportunity to exposed to more things,
and yes, as a lazy person, proximity is high on concern!

Well, I guess, soon, I'll close one chapter of my life again!
50 years of my life ahead.....
still pondering,
still contemplating,
still bewildered,
and rather fearful,
but hopeful,
and ironically a little anticipating.

But nothing is definite in the world,
so yea........ just gotta let time unravel the future~

Back from Bali. 
Land of Gods, Paradise Getaway, Island of Terrains.....

Loved it there.
Different parts of Bali has different experiences.
There were beaches, and hills, and sun, and breeze, and chill, and stars, and disco balls.

This trip made me think alot as well.

1) I thought of family. What does it take to be a family? What is an ideal family? Sometimes, despite the many wonderful places, my parents tend to spoil them with their tones and attitudes. Sometimes it's so irritating when you throw tantrum just because things doesn't go your way, and you assume this and that, and always think you are correct. And then you are rushing itinerary that you dont enjoy the places at all. Or you take pictures for the sake of taking them, and often frowns upon good photos that you spoil the mood of the photos. And then complain about money again. And also weird behaviors, embarrassing, and not being graceful. But then again, We Are One. Things dont always go the way we want. But we are still as one, looking ahead for better things together. But then again I saw the interactions of other families and all, I just kept feeling why cant I have a family like that? Sigh, un-content-ment.

2) Wages there are so low! That most locals there cant really enjoy the development of their own country. I think that's something common through all countries, that the developments are meant for tourists to enjoy not locals. And welfare, somehow I think sg has relatively better healthcare. And education for mentally challenged, in Bali, there isnt classification of mental challenges and its a taboo, as they believe in karma, that misfortune such as these occurs because the family did some grave mistakes in life, they shun and alienate these ppl. Pitiful....

3) The kind of life they live is rather carefree, simple, yet happy. Sometimes Im too burdened by my parent's enforced expectations of earning huge money. Like as if money is all worth in the world. Sigh.

4) I always believed that no matter what, if a person wants you down, you have no defence against him. You can take hundreds of precautions, but it all boils down to heaven. But above all, a good person, no matter how bad, there will be a greater help for you.

5) Service. Service standards were so much better there, to every person there even if the person is not in service sector. They greet you politely, they are patient to guide, they are appreciative of gratitudes. In service line, in F&B, they provide wet towels as you enter, and welcome drink, no matter if you decide to sit and eat or to change your mind. They always speak nicely. Oh! they speak languages! Dutch, France, Holland, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, English, Balinese, all types!!! wow!!!

6) Culture. No matter young or old, their traditions are passed down well. Their dances, practises and skills are hereditary! Yet in Chinese culture, it's becoming shitty as generations go by. Why? See our traditional music and dance? The lion dance? now got hip hop? face palm!

7) Health. I see old folks there are to climb the steps with ease, carrying their harvests, yet young tourist like us struggling.

8) Religion. So many types of religions and practises! shall not discuss much here.

9) Some teachers abandoned classes to drive tourists around, to earn extra money, and even have under tables to secure a government jobs, that dont necessary fetch good money, though guaranteed job, but they are that "desperate"? Why? What would happen to the children of their future? So sad =( Knowledge is compromised!

10) their bars all so entertaining! they do have a night life though their night starts at 6 till 11 only. Short working hours, but they lived good. So relaxing there! I think I drank every single night except the last night.
