Something's brewing...

Nowadays, there's something in me that wants to have a change in my life.

Most who are in contact with me would know I have some plans laid out before me after graduation. Well, that I don't know if will come true, but I will try. I always try.

And well, some calculations and I realized, I do not want to wait for that time to come. It will be too late. By then, I am a good 30 year old. Well, not so good after all with no strong resumé or working experiences. Just someone with a degree, with perhaps, a year of overseas education, and yup, that's about it. Who would want to hire me?

How then am I going to well, finance my expenses? Things I am looking forward to in my life that I can call my own:

  1. a small apartment by the sea front (possibly impossible given my parents.)
  2. a car. Mini or Suzuki Swift or well, Volkswagen Golf GTI
  3. credit card and not a supplementary
  4. a stable monthly income
And yes, I think I have just fallen into the 5Cs dream of most Singaporeans. Funny how I watched the show 'Singapore Dreaming' last year and thought that this sort of 'dreams' will not apply to me. And yes, I have sadly, or contentedly fallen into this pit.

I thought I wouldn't want to work at 9-5 job, and I thought I wouldn't want all these material things, but well, people do change I guess. For better or worse, people change and yes, change is the only constant.

Well, the wonders of having money. The ability to be independent. It's just nice to know that those above may actually come true. Now, I just got to work for it and yes, I want to be an eligible bachelor... (no, not those on CLEO or what, but well, I wouldn't mind though not of my priority). Maybe I can be like the 51st. Haha

What do you want in the future? The future is here.

i giving my 2 cents here.

to me, i think u are heading to secure a set of liabilities than assets. though, the monthly income looks rather norm-al.

it is always good and promising for someone to plan ahead with something 'good' but i guess the most impt thing is to stay contented.

future?

it is surprise for u and me. since it is a surprise, and thus we shldnt be trying too hard but putting our best and embrace what comes ahead.

that's my thots.

:) Only thing that worries me is the same old phrase-

'with expectations comes disappointment'

Guess I can't plan too much ahead in case nothing comes true, or fall short.

Nothing good really stays long in my life, probably cos' I did not work for them. When I do, maybe they will. =P

ok.. hmm, ur friend sounds quite.. MLM-ish.. LOL.. liabilities incurring, instead of assets buildng.. true.. but well, monthly income's not all that bad.. if it's all that bad, most singaporeans would have been worse off... but then, it's true, u should aim for a life with no liabilities, aside from jumping onto the bandwagon of MLM, that is.. and i think it's quite refreshing to read the new blog of yours,.. it's not all about fun anymore but i wish there'd be the fun part within you still~ makes reading more fun and less thought-provoking.. my friends are all maturing too fast.. haha..=X or rather, i'm still a kid, always angry at the pettiest thing.. =(
