Lots of things happened in the past one month and i simply do not have time to blog down whatever that happened. So i will do a quick summary and then follow up on them this coming weekend.
Firstly..i went on a grad trip to australia (sydney and melbourne) with my uni friends from yr 1 sem 1...its such a nice place..totally love it, Beautiful scenery and nice weather. How i wish i had more time to travel the whole of australia. I wanted to travel all around australia since my maiden trip there during secondary 4, where i went to perth on a school annual camping trip. Love the weather in autumn and winter and the lazy feel there. It just makes me relaxed. Will post pics and stories soon....
Next..went back to hk yet again, but this time with my family. In fact i cant remember when was the last time i travelled on plane with my parents before (i think it was in primary school). So although i am going back hk again, i have no complains about it. Went back to most places i been to the previous time, except this time round, we went to Tai O, which i din go previously. It is just like a small fishing village, which has some resemblence of Singapore in the 19th century. Din buy a lot of things there because i think i have bought enough 6 months ago. So mainly its just sightseeing and food...
Actually during my grad trip in australia, i received calls every alternate days informing me to attend interviews, but i cant, and they are not willing to reschedule any of it. So i was sort of disappointed or sian diao by that. But on the last day in sydney, i got a call from citi informing me that i am being offered a job there. The next day when i returned back home, i signed the contract with them. And guess what is the starting date...the next monday..meaning i have like less than a week before i start work. And i still have to travel to HK the following day and will return on saturday only. The 2nd part of the grad trip to india and nepal have to be sacrificed, sadly. So i am filled with mixed feelings on getting this job, it is not that happiness or excitement that i felt when i signed the contract, but the sense of lost. Suddenly..my life changed.
So how has it changed? waking up at 630am every morning, and returning home from work at about 7 to 8pm..and then too tired to think or do anything, and just fall asleep. So seems like work has taken the bulk of my life now. This is the 2nd week of work and i am starting to wonder..what is the purpose of my life now? What is the goal i am chasing after? I am not sure.
But speaking back..maybe i shld be contented that i got a job...and yes i am...
Sometimes its just such an irony...when you are schooling, you have lots of time to travel to play. but no money....so u start working to earn money to satisfy your initial dreams...but now..i start to realise that you have money to travel..but you have that time to do so...
Why cant there be the best of both worlds?...i wonder..
