Do you realise how the typical life in sg for most people is?

You come into this world. And have an average-ly wonderful and carefree childhood.
Soon, it's the right age to go to pre-school.
After pre-school comes primary school.
After primary school comes secondary school.
After secondary comes either JC or poly.
And it's to the universities to secure a degree or master in hope to get a desired and high paying job in the future. (not so easy now with the bad economic)
Then you fall in love, date, get married and start a family.
Lastly, you grow old and retire and you wait fo your final days to arrive.

This piece is shit cycle is somewhat scary. It's all about education for most parts of it. Everything seem so stressed up and everyone's complaining about the same stuff with life in sg. It's like hardly anyone took time off to pursue something they really love and dream of. Perhaps taking a different path from other people in this society is too much of risk to the majority.

Office jobs sucks, dont they? You sit in the office and slog for half the time till your weight increases to a point you have to go on a slimming show to lose weight(for free i suppose) and give the excuse that it's your job that caused you the fats. And somehow life just becomes meaningless everyday. Work and home. Work and home. I've observed office folks on the train after they've finished work. Somehow, they seem so weary and dazed.

I think to myself sometimes whenever i look at them. Are they happy with their lives now? Are they happy with how they've lived half their lives? How were their younger days like? Did they regret not grabbing any opportunities to do greater things then?

If only more people are willing to step out of their shell and take a risk in life to do something they really love. I'm sure more people will follow suit when they see risks can be successful. The typical sg life seem to be stuck in sg only. I really dont want that. Dont you realise the world out there is huge? And you only live once and this life is the only chance you get to get out of this comfort zone and discover the many, many wonderful places and stuff out there. You only live this once. Dont talk to me about re-born/second lives because i'm pretty sure even if there is a second you wouldn't remember a damn thing in the previous life either.

I have dreams and aspirations. I wanna get out of here and explore. I wanna visit different places. I wanna experiences different things. I wanna meet new people and know new people. I wanna enjoy life and have fun. I wanna earn big bucks doing something i love. I wanna reach a state of contentment one day.

You know, i can do all these big talking now but i'm actually pretty stuck with my life right now. It's the typical situation. Academic qualifications mean almost everything here. Not good enough grades and you're basically stuck. I hate it. Everyone's been wanting to fuck the sg education system.

It's one of the crossroads in life again. I wanna look back in life when i grow old one day and not to be filled with many regrets. All the life experiences and memories you'll have with you before you leave this world.

Do you imagine yourself when you're soon-to-leave-the-world-old one day? I have this sickening, choking fear in me whenever i think of it now. Probably because death is somewhat closer, if you've lived till that ripe old age. Maybe it's because i'm thinking of death then, now. But i hope by then i'll have experienced so many wonderful things that'll make me leave the world with no fear and regrets.

I hope i'll be living till i've grown old though. It's scary to think you can actually lose your life ANY MOMENT. Cliche as it sounds, cherish your life moments and loved ones before it's too late. Before the start of 2009, i was thinking there's bound to be people who will somehow, lose their lives at the beginning of the year. And true enough, the news reported some tragedies. I think to myself. "They didn't expect they'll never get to see the year ahead".

God lets you live on one more day each day for a reason.

Ok i could go on and on because lately i've been thinking about too many stuff. Dont comments if you do not agree with any of my words and these as how i feel.

I'll come vent again with another post when i feel like it. I know it's a wonderful world, but i can't feel it right now.
