i went to tekong today, and i found some stuffs kinda upsetting.
a recruit came up to me and ask,
r:hey, can i sign up for this vocation?
ym: sure. why not?
r: but the encik say cannot
ym: why? why u cannot
r: i dun have n levels
ym: den whats your highest qualifications?
r: sec 3
u can see the embarrassment on his face, and also, him being upset about his background, i asked what happened, and he told me he quarrelled with his principal and thus left school. that was a very bad mistake, really. at this fastpaced life, with uni graduates flowing into the economy like running water, what job can u secure with a sec 3 education? i felt a pint of pity when i looked at him, and i tried to imagine, what if i am him? what should i do? i told my friends today, and he told me, " parents rich can alr wad" but what if it isnt the case? what if his family werent well off? not some CEO of some money factory? what then? what will be his future prospect? i have no idea.
another aspect was on my mind lately, and i realised, my kindness have been taken for granted, so much so that i was pretty upset about it. esp to certain people. i dont expect any return favour, all i ask is at least show some respect and some sensitivity. i realised, there are many people who owes me money, not a biggie, but so far, it accumulated to about $50? i know it isnt a big issue, but when u borrow cash, wouldnt u want to return it asap? rather den borrow so that u dont have to use yours? its quite fuck up sometimes, and i know, as the chinese says, tan qian shang gan qing, yeah. so i didnt pursue the matter, because i feel,
friendship worth more than cash.
since everything is on its downhill side, being optimistic, i have decided, from now, my concentration will be my career. nothing more, nothing less. all the best to me and my flying. fuck the rest!
