Every morning as I take the bus and train, the same thought crosses my mind.

I am heading to the office but both my head and heart can't wait to get back home.


People of the working world:
I wonder how many of you feel the way I do.
Please tell me how to get past this and tell me if I'm going to think this way for the rest of my life.


Last night, I was reading a past issue of CLEO magazine (think got it free in my mailbox idk why). There was this article about going for your dream job and how it's never too late to change career paths for the sake of your dream. I didn't finish reading though cos I was too sleepy waiting for Hans to call me (which he never did @*&#@^%!&).

It reminded me of this time when I was happily going on to a colleague about my story as usual: how I'm doing a degree just for the sake of the qualification.. not at all interested in finance blah.. and how I hope to do some free-lance makeup when I have kids and all.
His question to me has stuck in the back of my head ever since.
Why don't people simply go for their dreams and pursue what they're passionate about, rather than WASTE so much time (years) doing something else?

Taken aback, I questioned him doubtfully if he enjoyed his job and to my disappointment, he said he did. Well, I am not entirely convinced cos I see him grumbling now and then at work.

I wonder how many people are truly happy doing what they do. According to that article in CLEO, only 6% (iirc) of the people in the survey are satisfied with their jobs, leaving Singapore at, sad to say, pretty much the bottom few in the global context.


Am I brave enough to go ahead and do what I like after graduation?

I'm not exactly sure what I want to achieve in life tho. Maybe I should start thinking about it and doing my 3am list. :X
If you ask me now, I wana just stay at home all day, take up short courses that interest me, read all day, watch movies and play with niao. This probably is reflective of how I feel at this moment - stuck at work.

Income is an issue. I can't expect to live off my parents (maybe a little dependence is okay la. haha).

So how.


Oh LUNCHTIME!
