Everyone's a little bit bored..

Hi guys...

I'm back from my grad trip and can i say that its HOT here in Singapore???

Well had lots of fun there and now, i can safely say that i'll probably be able to lose some weight finally, since i'm currently sick of meat, pasta, eggs, cream and burgers. (not to mention that there's a huge hole in my bank account and i will be eating grass for the next two years)

How's ya all doing?

I suppose those wearing green/blue have booked out for the weekend *snigger*...

Aaron and liwei are stuck in corporate hell...

Heng is probably going to start a new life that has no day nor night...

Sio will be helping us maintain our world class transportation system. *shudder*...

Jasen is allegedly going to start his FYP project..

That leaves slacker me (and probably Fred and Kevin) who are still trying to get a job.

This trip to US was pretty good actually, saw lots of interesting people.. (was in san francisco when the high court finally legalised gay marriage..) people who looked great, people who smelled like all the possible earthly vices and people who slept the streets with only a trolley and a cardboard box (think "The persuit of happyness")

I suppose in Singapore, where begging is illegal, gay rights are still being debated and casino still in the process of being built, we've got a really sheltered life.

This trip makes me think that Singapore is like a model city. Literally where everything looks so perfect and neat, where vibrancy was not encouraged and only in recent years, following our economic stability, that we're trying to make it a more metropolitan city. (then again its probably just a ploy to get more foreign talent and boost tourism)

Truth is.... culture, art, history and social structure takes hell of a lot of time to build. And it often takes major events such as war, economic fluctuations, social revolutions and the like to jump start an era of change. I'd like to think that we're starting to open our minds to new ideas these days, but have we really decided to embrace them?

Well long story short... Live for passion people..

If you can't find a job that fuels your passion, at least take up a hobby that allows you to indulge in your inner most desires. Forget about money for just 10% of your time each day and live to be happy. We can't all be rich and/or famous so at least we'll be happy.

With that, we'll probably start to develop some true vibrancy and culture that we can be proud of.
