New Year, New Hope!

And so the relatively short few days of holidays I had is over, and work starts tmr.

Well... HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY.

Depends on what you would define as happy, it's actually an oxymoronic statement.

Of course, what is a new year's blog entry without making my new year's resolution?

So, here goes!

1) GET OUT OF MEDIACORP AS FAST AS MY LEGS CAN TAKE ME!

I'm going to do one more project, then I'm done. 6 months of pure, solid, unrefined work. I would leave with a gladden heart.

2) Get a new job, (time start: 01/02/10) :

Options:

i. Relief teaching (PE, Art, Music, English)

ii. Trainee Chef (Pastry, Baking, Confectionery)

iii. Intern at an MNC Marcomm company

3) Ignore all calls of "passion" and get into the course that I'm supposed to be going to.

Options:

i. NTU: Communication Studies

ii. NTU: Mass Comm (probably an invalid choice. Mediacorp has deaden my love for media)

iii. NUS: New Media and Communication

IV. QUT: 1 year degree in Media and Communication

V. UniMel: 3 years degree in Media and Communication

I must get into at least ONE of these universities or I'm doomed.

4) Freaking get back to my standard gym routine. FIND A JOB THAT GIVES ME THAT TIME.

Yup. Simple. 4 resolutions. Clear, concise and precise. Something that doesn't require me to plan much, but EXTREMELY HEAVY on my future.

.... it may sound a bit morbid... but recently, my obsession over time management issues is pressing in quite painfully.

The more I think about it, the less time I have.

Practicality VS Passion

The time for pursuing "passion" is over. The lie that society kept teaching is that you should follow your passion.

Passion doesn't grant you food on your table, happiness to the people around you, or does it even ensure your own future happiness.

Practicality however is straight forward, and as long as you center your happiness around how you view your work, it should turn out alright.

You cannot eat your dreams, but reality puts food on the table.

This is going to be my mantra for this year.

There is no time left. I'm 23 years old this year. TOO OLD FOR GAMES.

My future MUST be planned out, carved and set in stone before this year is up.

But first.. Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would pleasantly like to announce the start of my countdown:

DAYS TILL I LEAVE MEDIACORP : 90 days / 2160 hrs

Hahaha.. I never even counted my ORD so concisely.
