Announcement: Lai is a Graduate!

I am proud to announce that I am a graduate now! After 3.5 years of tertiary education, I am finally liberated. Try picturing Lai walking towards to meet her friend after her final paper... she walks with pride and happiness like the post make-over Miss Congeniality minusing the twisting of heels and falling part.. good thing there was some wind blowing on that afternoon that carried her hair nicely like those in shampoo advertisement. LOL. In short, the feeling is simply fantastic.

The one major change I realised is that my level of pragmatism has gone down. I used to think that resting after graduation is a waste of time and money. And that I should just settle for a job that pays the most money and with high prestige (e.g. auditor or working in a bank). But now, I am in no hurry to get a job which I can tell a friend of mine, X, is getting irritated with my bochap (a singlish term meaning can't-be-bothered) attitude.

But having witnessed plenty of real-life examples where people keep bitching how much they have regretted for not taking a break after graduation, I would like to believe I have make a right choice to take a break. I think I have worked much harder than a normal undergraduate during my uni life. So time to take a deserving break now although I don't have much money to go traveling. Its time for me to spend some time with my family. And I will just save my grad trip for jiin! Hahaha Lai is such a good friend right? Jiin, you don't need to be too touched... your gratitude will be much appreciated in either cash or visa. LOL.

Oh yah, talking about X... She outrightly displayed her dismay and discouragement at my aim of becoming a SIA girl. I somehow find that we have grown further apart where our idelogies seem to clash and I can no longer appreciate her character. That sounds bad right? Anyway I will continue to pursue my dream. Its not easy to have a goal that's worth working towards to especially when we grow older. We seem to settle for things that are lesser. I always believed that most of the things one wants are achievable. Its a matter of how badly you want it.
