After going through a harrowing quarter-life crisis and FINALLY finding my purpose, what I can say is that this has been such an eye-opening experience for me in so many ways. People, embrace your quarter-life and mid-life and three-quarter life crises! They open your eyes to new dimensions! At that point in my life (and even now), I wondered how or why someone would go to school, study, go to university and specialize in a certain course, say, business, do well in it, get a job related to the profession, then a year later, hate… Continue reading →
Happy New Year 2011! It’s great that we all get to see a new year even as we cringe as the years add on to our ages, but oh well…such is life. It strikes me as no coincidence that during the festive season, there are so many competitions, raffles, pick-and-win’s, shop-and-grab’s, etc. Why is it that there is an influx of these competitions when the holiday season rolls around? At every supermarket there is a raffle of some sort. Shop for goods worth 1,000 and get a raffle ticket to win a Vitz or whatever… Continue reading →

Lesson On Employment and Unemployment So, having been in the School of Life for the past 6 months (i.e. out of school and out in the Big Bad World), I have realised one thing…employment sucks, and unemployment sucks equally. Indulge me for a minute: Both have an equal number of pros and cons, even though they may not be very well-balanced. When you are unemployed, you get to have free time to reflect on your life and where you want to be, your dreams that you had let go of, what you really want from… Continue reading →

A Lesson On Heartbreak I’m tired of hearing it: You will make a wonderful wife/girlfriend for some lucky guy Whoever you end up with will be one lucky guy Don’t worry, his loss…you will meet someone better You are an amazing woman and you will make some guy very happy WHEN??????! Granted, these statements have all come from guys I rejected who later moved on, and from well-meaning friends, but that is not the point. My point is, why is everyone hooking up and I’m not? Am I too choosy, too independent, too needy, too… Continue reading →
