Never Say Doesn't Mean Anything


Many a times, I get questions on whether am I having a good time as an overseas student in Australia. Well for one, the only possible thing I like over here is the cheap beers.

Other than that, I detest the lifestyle, the endless assignments, the countless reports and the fact that the cheapest prata here is priced at $10 bucks. Perhaps the prata comes with free diamonds, I never had the chance to find out.

I hardly talk about my school work; not because I don't have any. But rather for the sole reason that I am constantly revolving myself around assignments and while I have the chance to blog, I certainly want to stay away from those moments for a while.

The chance of me opening up the Microsoft Words or Excel is higher than seeing me watch porn on a daily basis - I am that busy with work.

The fact that I can't wait to graduate has also been rebuked by many people. Statements like "No you will miss your student's life" and "You will realise how fun being a student is once you start work", has done nothing but making me think that guy is an arse.

I don't think any engineering students will say they enjoy life as a student. What's so fun about memorizing endless formulas, holding the calculator more often than I hold my dick and writing reports as if I'm electing myself as the President - the truth is, NOT FUN AT ALL!

As quoted by one of my fran, "Singaporean guys really have things tough."

You see, now I am 25. Honestly, if I take a look at my CPF account, I think even the piggybank of a 5 year old would have more digits than me. It's not like I didn't do any work during my vacations. It's just that none of them contributes to my CPF account.

At 25 and still not working, I do feel ashame of myself at times. Ok, all the time. Maybe you have your own views, that's your problem. I am an idiot. I have mine.

To give a little background, I came out from Primary School at 12, and as usual entered secondary school at 13 and attained my O's at 16. After that went poly for like 3 years and serve my nation at 20. Upon ORDing, I came straight to Australia at 23. You see, even though I was fortunate enough not to be retained at any period of my schooling life, I am still just an undergraduate at an age of 25.

Plus, being born with a dick, it means I carry the responsibility to save up for things like my marriage and my future family, as well.

That is why I can't wait to start on my career. 18 years of non-paid life is enough. I want to start earning money and for once, give money to my parents on Chinese New Year instead of the other way round.

3 more months...

3 more months before I graduate and a managerial position at perhaps KFC will be my first stepping stone towards my enterprise. Behold!
