August is almost over, and still I haven't quite found my direction. Not so much of direction in life; rather, direction in work. I certainly don't equate work to life.

Lings' question the other day about what I really want to do got me thinking about the path I'm still undecided on. Seems like all the answers and options I gave her in reply point to anything and everything unrelated to what I studied. Haha.

I don't regret going into business, although I do wonder at times how it'd be like now if I followed my heart and studied english literature or psychology instead. A part of me still wants to, actually. I'd much rather be a student. But really, I enjoy the studying process, stress from projects and assignments nonwithstanding. Lol.

While I enjoyed (almost all) my modules in ntu, I don't have this overwhelming urge to find a job related to my degree. Don't ask me why; I just don't.

I'm still stressed over being unemployed, and hoping for more interviews while at the same time, I really don't enjoy the stress which comes with them. Pretty much paradoxical. Haha.

Funny thing is, I have many people and friends telling me not to rush into looking for a first job, cos' it's important to find something suitable. And of them all, they're pretty much divided into 2 categories: follow your passion (which usually means low salary) vs find a high paying job in a recognised company (so that it's easier to switch jobs in future).

Headache to the max.

Saw an interesting email just now which really made me sit up. I think I'll try for it and see how. Chances of getting it are pretty low, but I have nothing to lose anyways. Just try lor. If heng heng I really do get it, then happiness! =)

And no, it's not applying for a job. Haha.

Supposed to go on the singapore flyer later, but looking at the weather, no idea if we're still going. I want to see a gorgeous sunset! Please don't rain. =(

Suddenly have this urge to go out to sea. Or high up somewhere in some mountain. At least, I know such places can give me a pretty view of a sunset to remember.

Was scrolling through my photo gallery earlier, and saw so many pictures I've taken the past 3 years with all the different groups of people in my life. It's like watching a still movie of my life playing in front of me, and all the swirling emotions which accompany every snapshot.

Happiness, sadness, excitement, innocence, regret, contentment.

And so much more.

I typed an entire paragraph but deleted it after re-reading. Feel like smacking myself for putting down those thoughts in words. Arghh. What's over is over. No point reminiscing about what will never be.

Yikes I don't like this entry. Sounds so moody and unlike me. I think being cooped up all day at home is really bad. I totally need to get out there and do something! Can't slack legitimately, so I guess the only thing left for me to do is work. What the heck, even if I want to learn something, I need money. And so it all boils down to the same thing: find a job! Puiii.

I want to travel. Go somewhere far away. Nearby also can. I want to snorkel again!

Sighh.
