The Light at the end of the Tunnel

People wonder how far life can take them.

I wonder how far I can push life.

... seriously. I don't think I've fallen so sick for a long time. Just when I've got a nice day off, I had to fall sick.

Doesn't happen in army, seem to happen all the time now.

Mediacorp Channel 8 is pretty much the most hellish of hellholes there is for "work" out there. I mean, clocking 100 hours a week on average? No OT? No planned offs?

Not many people can afford that kind of life.

However, those that can, realize that when they leave, they leave with a wealth of experience no amateur can hope to garner within a short span.

Haha.. for those of you who are already guessing by now.

YES
YES
YES!!

I am leaving Channel 8 for good!

My first new year resolution for the year is going to be fulfilled within... lets see.. 27 days!! OMG!!!

Haha.. I feel so exhilarated.

True, I was having the learning experience of a lifetime there, but my body stamina was beginning to take a toll and yes, my self-assumed indestructible body seems to be taking a strain.

I'm grinning to myself as I type this on my friend's laptop just outside Starbucks.

*cough*

I'm also offered to continue to fill in a position as Assistant Producer for Channel 5.

I don't consider it either a boon or bane, as it's a totally different world and culture over there. Hahaha.. how many of my colleagues would die to be pushed over there... *winks at Carmen*

I can see my gym routine, my anaerobic and aerobic cycles coming back, and being able to play in the band once again!

xD

This is joyous. I can hear angels singing. =p

Thank God.

But now, I'm caught between whether I should presume that I'm selected for the local university and if yes, should I just do a fun job for the next 4 months, or should I continue trying to gain as much experience as possible.

I realized, only when one of my friends informed me, that I've never ever really had a long break in my life before..

Between Primary and Secondary school: No break.

Between Secondary and Poly: 6 months break, worked as a chef in Pastamania

Between Poly and NS: 9 months break, worked as an AV Producer in STOMP

Between NS and Uni: 10 months break, have been working for 6 months as Asst. Producer in Mediacorp...

should I take a break and relax for once?

I'm really at an impasse.

Sigh.

But knowing my character, I won't be able to stay still for long.

If I'm actually forced to take a break and not work, (assuming I still have a trickle of pocket money), I'd probably take to going to the gym 5 days a week and cooking for the other two.

My mind is really quite cluttered with happy thoughts.

I mean, the near future doesn't seem quite as dreary for the time being.

and... for all my friends whom I have knowingly neglected for the past months, we should have a good long celebration soon yeah!

haha...

I'm saving up money for my university. Managed to save quite a hefty sum already in my opinion. But I won't rest until I get at least 3500 in a solid lump sum.

sigh.... University IS expensive...

okok... Going home le! =)
