THE QUARTER LIFE CRISIS

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 04:33:50 GMT

Okay, Happy 21st Birthday pork! Pictures will be up soon. KKK.

I 'm feeling/facing stress everyday. I have no exact reasons to express how i feel but all i know is that stress keeps haunting me. I sound like i have some mental disorder. !%@&^ I even google-ed quarter-life crisis, wiki-ed it. Then i chanced upon an article that completely relates to how i am feeling right now. I think i need to invent/steal/borrow/buy a translator like what Flint invented in "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" for Steve (the monkey)

This is the article i chanced upon: http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~shane/text/quarterlifecrisis.html

The Quarter-Life Crisis
by unknown

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn't know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren't so great after all.

You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want. Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while wining the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

I think i should write a similar article on how i feel and how others could relate to how i feel.
Am i really facing quarter-life crisis?
Sigh.

Hi, i miss catching up with my life and it's very infuriating how the weekends fly. Work has actually raped my sleeping hours, me posting here, gossiping on fb. On the other hand, work has been good because i feel like a student and i miss being a student. Sorry for so much about that work shit. I spend every week of my friday's & saturday's hanging out till late. Sometimes i feel that 24 hours isn't enough. Why are there 24 hours in 1 day only? Oh well, my life has become a routine, my off days are carefully planned & i still have 14 days of MC leave. Why am i not falling sick yet? It gets so frequent when i am studying, not working?! Stupid.

I feel like i have a long list of uncompleted things to do but sometimes seems to be completed. Ok nvm.

My facebook has 4 albums of updated pictures, finally.

Upload here soon.

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:11:59 GMT

I have been so caught up with work even though i appear online for 9hrs during the weekdays. I love my job besides the fact that i have to handle more adhoc stuffs rather than my project. It's ok, i am kinda interested in moodle. (haha?) Can't wait to get my pay and pay off my debts and say hello to my ever so interesting life i've got.

I chopped my tresses; worth 1.5 inches and i don't even see a difference. I detest my fringe right now.

Owe this lj a tons of pictures but too bad i'm still going to summarize them all! ha.

sorry, too obsessed with myself.

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:12:12 GMT

Today's my first day of work, back in NYP again. People think I am studying for the 4th year. Oh well. In a way but getting paid. Lecturers whom have taught me before are my colleagues now. Good or bad? I did nothing today, so many "1st day" administrative stuffs to settle. I wonder what project I am doing even though I heard something about virtual infrastructure. Sigh. All jargon. The only thing i am happy about is being able to sit at the staff table at koufu during lunchbloodycrowdedperiod! yay!

and graduation last friday was a sweaty one.
everyone was salty.

Ok. I owe this blog a tons of pictures too.. soon soon.

S'pore reports 1st flu case

SINGAPORE has reported its first patient infected with the new A(H1N1) flu strain.

The patient, a 22-year-old Singaporean woman, had been in New York from May 14 to 24, and arrived here on Tuesday morning.
While seated in row 55 on Singapore Airlines flight SQ25, she began to develop a cough, but she passed the thermal scanner at the airport later without being stopped, because she did not have a fever at the time.

Later that morning, she went to a general practitioner who decided to send her to Tan Tock Seng Hospital via the special ambulance service 993 meant for suspected Influenza A (H1N1) cases.

Laboratory test confirmed her infection at midnight on Tuesday.

The patient is being treated at the TTH Communicable Disease Centre and is in stable condition.

The Health Ministry said the patient has been vigilant in monitoring her condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realised she was unwell.

"Her attending GP, through his quick response in activating the 993 ambulance for the patient, had also helped to minimise the spread of infection from this case," said a ministry statement.

The Health Ministry has begun contact tracing of those who have been in close contact with the patient.

They will be quarantined and given antivirals to prevent them from developing the disease.

The ministry asked passengers who had been seated in rows 52 to 58 on the same flight to call its hotline on 1800-333 9999, so that its officers can check on their health condition.

The Ministry has reminded all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions to continue to be vigilant to suspect cases.

Temperature screening for passengers entering Singapore at all checkpoints - land, sea and air - will continue.

All passengers passing through or entering Singapore are given Health Alert Notices on board their flights, advising them to monitor their own health if they have been to affected areas and to seek medical attention immediately if they are not well.

Carousel, High tea buffet was quite a disappointing one. Food was little than expected, desserts were much better but only average, only coffee, tea, water & no others. No, not satisfied. :( But what can we expect for a $28 nett high tea after a UOB discount. Hoho.

Oh, Singapore Flyer is having an ongoing promotion from now till the 29th May (i think). Tickets at only $10/pax for students. Just produce your student card and get your tickets. And of course, pork and i went up. It was fantastic because it cost us $10! Plus, we almost had the whole cabin to ourselves, it was just us and another couple.. rather than paying two thousand just to have an entire cabin.

& i forgot to bring my digital and thus very ______ photos.
Sian.

Happy 2nd, love.

Me having plain water, blah

Hello wello, seems like i self-declared hiatus since 10 Mar 2009 & hey i'm back again. So to say, i have finally graduated from NYP after 3 years of fun and rubbish. I think i already mention it in the previous entries. I can't remember. Then, got my ass off to Taiwan with NYP so called educational trip, which i don't really care about the word 'educational' because i do not need fork out a single cent ha! Taiwan was cold, windy and rainy. Food was superb, Night markets were good & girls shopping wasn't that great. Photos later.

How time flies and it has been 1 month since i got back from Hongkong. Hongkong was even better then the former. Maybe i am just being bias just because they have a 4 storey standalone H&M store.... And i guess shopping and food is better in Singapore. Duh. Photos later too.

And for the 1 month, i have been sending in approximately 100 resumes. Out of 100, less than 10 replied. Good job. I'm quite sick of staying at home, not having a job, attending interviews and doing photoshop. NYP, pls employ me. (Eileen, you too. Haha)

No job, No income.
So many chalets coming up and all turning 21.

New beginning?

Taiwan - NYP Educational Trip (3rd - 8th Mar 09)

Caught up with the girls in NYP. Overslept, was late, an hour late. Lisa did the talking. I had rice bowl for lunch. Bummed around in lisa's lab. Took pictures, browse projects, stole carpet samples, need more samples. I need tile's samples.

Why do we have to go for a pre departure briefing at Dynasty travel?

2 more days before i leave for Taiwan. Can't believe I will be flying with China airlines together with 52 other unknown students. But, think taiwan shopping, more tw food, more kilos..
I will be back with gigabytes of pictures, you will probably get high cholesterol after looking at them.

I just got to know that our Merlion got struck by lightning. > click here!
