Money!

It is simply the most common means of attaining happiness/self-satisfaction, but it is not the only way.

But of course since it is the most common and easiest way to become attain materialistic happiness, it is highly sought after and is held at great value.

Money itself does not bring happiness,the purchasing power does. Maybe because the happiness that we seek involve money.

If we find happiness that does not involve money.. I guess money won't matter.

51 weeks and counting.

People say that uni's more stressful than jc.. and each mod test is like studying for A's again.
Some even envy the males that they can 'rest' for 2 years.

But objectively, it's like being retained for 2 years.
It's like going out and working 2 years before going into uni, whereas working after graduating from uni would get you much better pay and greater job satisfaction... not to mention working towards pay rises and promotions.

Seriously. If the girls really do envy the guys, then they can also go on study hiatus for 2 years. Why don't they? Because there is no progress. Fulfilling my aims and goals in life, graduating with a degree and getting a stable job? ... Doesn't help.

Us Singapore males already have a statistically shorter life expectancy (hmmm... maybe because of the lack of slp in NS? Think about it. Not many differences between the things Singaporean males and females do), and yet we must undergo these 2 gruelling years. And after these 2 years, we STILL have to go through the 'cruel' uni exams. Can't you see it's for your own future?

We'll get used to it, we all will... Time-wasting that is. Traveling time, waiting time, and just plain stoning/relaxing at home. I pretty much wasted all my time on this bloc leave.

Need to get my thoughts and weekend goals in order again.

Cheers.
