we're like a massive family,
this i'll miss for sure.
sidenote:
scrawled across the cubicle door at The Royal Oak,
"i don't want to slide into apathy, and i don't want to die in captivity."
applicable to so many of us don't u think?
our insatiable chase for the singapore "dream".
finish 'A' levels, go to uni, hopefully get a good job, have a car, get a flat/house/roof over our heads, start a family, get them into good schools, maybe go for vacations during school holidays, send them to university, retire, look after grandkids.
how often do we actually pursue our passion?
do we really want to be doctors, lawyers, economists, accountants, entrepreneurs?
maybe some of us want to be photographers, actors, dancers, athletes, chefs, fashion designer, vintage shop owners.
my mum keeps asking me why my priorities after graduating is to travel for months on end before starting work, why am i being so self centered she asked.
if not now, when can i ever be?
when i'm tied down to my career, my family, my so-called adult life?
why is everyone so god damn pragmatic?
6 months will not make any fucking difference,
i'm already going to work for the rest of my life damn it.
i always get frustrated when i discuss my post graduation plans,
it is my life, even if it was you who gave it to me.
