It's been a long while since i last blogged and for a very good reason.
I've been busy.
There! Well, don't get me wrong. I'm not angry or anything, just tired. This whole week has been a mad rush of activities for me. Everyday i sleep at around 2-3am and wake up at 7-8am. Other than my own hectic life, things have also been unfolding around me.
Today, Mr S Rajaratnam's memorial service was held in the parliament house. As i watched the news report on the memorial service, i felt a huge swell of emotions welling up inside me. Choking back my tears, i was once again reminded of how fortunate i was to be a Singaporean and how much effort it had taken many others to build this beautiful place that i call Home. It sounds really cheesy but i do honestly tear whenever i hear the national anthem on the 9th of August. I feel the pride in my chest as i recall the history of my country, our country and the many who have died or dedicated their lives to change this little port island into a bustling metropolis.
Since the time when i could actually imagine, i had pictured my future self as a successful yuppie, fully clad in a sleek power suit and about 1.7m tall. I would be standing in front of the Caltex house, gazing into the horizon. However as i grew older, i became more realistic. I gave up dreaming that i would grow to a height of 1.7m, which unfortunately my parents have not yet given up on, thus explaining their persistence in making me consume a rather foul concotion of peanut root soup. I also started to question my ambition of becoming a lawyer. Although i will always view that as my dream job, because i am partly a drama queen (=P) and i really enjoy knowing that i have saved someone's life, it is not something that i think i would make as my career.
I've been thinking if i should find a way to join a government organization. I would like to know that i am able to contribute to the success of Singapore, whether is it teaching; moulding the future of our nation, national defense or something else. There's nothing like knowing that you've made a difference in someone's life. I hope when i pass on at least someone would remember me. I believe that's the very least for i don't want to be like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. To quote Mr Rajaratnam: "I just hope that when i die, at least one person would mourn my passing." Great words from a great man.
I wonder...
