The next step

It’s the middle of exams… I really shouldn’t be doing this. But the urge has never been so great. I had to write it out somehow and the blog seemed like the best place to put this.

Have been in the education system for almost 17 years already and yes, I’m starting to get sick and tired of it. I never really thought I would reach this stage (that was me six years ago), now it’s a totally different story. Similarly, I never thought I would be remotely interested in business; now I am. Perhaps a sign from above that I should be getting on with life out of school and onto something else.
Meow was never cut out for the academic track anyway. Whatever remains of that dream would remain as it is… just another dream.

Why the sudden interest? Not really quite sudden, going into business has been suggested and talked about by people around me quite often. Yes, I have witnessed dramatic failures and successes among these cases. If you’re thinking I’m gonna try out something big, wrong… just something small. A little business on my own, something I am interested in, enough to help me get by, enjoy what I am doing (at least in the early stages) and if possible have the scope for expansion.
It’s not going to be a bed of roses, definitely bumpy at the start but to do something on your own, something you like and enjoy. Doing business becomes part of sharing what you enjoy with your customers. The motivation is there to keep you going and I’m very certain your customers or even the potential ones would feel it too even if they choose not to purchase your product or engage your services this time round.

Short term plans
Starting to think about the jobs I would want to do once I step out of school in a few months down the road. The job would help me clear the immense amount of debt that I have chalked up with my education and also give me the experience about the working world before I decide to venture out on my own. There’s of course a lot of learning to do from those who are already doing their own business and also hopefully any nuggets of advice I could get from those already working about the work world and what to expect. Transition into a new lease of life, a new phrase of my own little growth and development as an individual.
Exams seem like only a speck in this entire grand scheme of things. It’s a necessary road every individual has to go through in life. What matters is passing the University of Life, failure is not allowed. Pass or get eliminated. (Courtesy of WL).

Yes I should be getting out of school… I never felt this urge last year, maybe because I wasn’t ready then. Meanwhile, I am learning all I can from where I am before looking back in July and bidding the institution adieu.

考试也只是人身计划中的一小情节，有如过眼云烟一般。以后的路该怎么走，前途会是如何还是个未知数。抱着满怀的理想与信念，勇往直前。渺小的我在这辽阔的天地里寻找自己的天空。

Its been soooooo long since I last drop by this blog.... I even had trouble getting in, not only because of password trouble, but I had also forgotten my username. Now that's something.

Not blogging for sometime for several reasons:

1. I had no reason to. My life is boring and who really want to hear another person lament on and on about having so much work. Just do la! It comes a point when you had enough of your own complains and just shut up.
   Note: I still reserve my rights to whine at times.
2. When I have something to blog about, I usually don't have a computer near me or time for it at the moment.
   The event/incident gets stored and then conveniently..... forgotten.

Decide to blog now over a bowl of soup before I get back to LKY and the Grand Design for my final presentation.

As the semester draws to a close, I look back at some of the happening this sem. Boy has it been fun.... The friends I've made, the new acquaintances (potential frens or otherwise), the changing perceptions that I had with a few of them has made this semester all the more fruitful.

My main complaint over the university system was that the modular basis and the subject of my major itself does not lend much possibility towards the development of a closer friendship with those on a similar track. The problem has been pretty much solved in yr 4 with only 6 modules around and a compulsory module you see the same people over and over. So much so that a stranger in our midst is always noticed.

Humans are complex beings... greater group cohesion also means more things gets brought up to the surface. Gossips (of no malicious intent, or so I hope), rumours of sabotage (I don't know how true) are always around. People you know can be malicious when provoked and the attack methods are usually not frontal assaults.
But there's a lighter side to this. So far, there are a few helpful individuals around, the stress level is definitely there and everybody is working so hard it makes you guilty when you're not performing.

Need a lighter side to life... holidays in sight. Its coming...
