Yes, a bit expensive but... it's worth it. Swear.
Found the full range of Meltykiss! I thought I was cursed because no matter which Watsons I go to, I just can't find them. *Broke curse like a boss*
Forgot to rotate photo. The best ramen in town. As of yesterday.
Wuby Zee. Like some sorta brand.
Looked so tired here. Sigh.
Went to 3 Inch Sin for coffee. Molten Lava Cake was meh. Wuby was spewing out 1001 ways of why it went wrong. #chefsisterproblem
Super tiring to try to squeeze everyone into the frame.
Forced them to take a proper group shot. In the toilet. HAHA. Friends for 8 years! 我们老了。
At 3 Inch Sin, we were chatting about our plans for the future and we realised that the future looks bleak. Standard of living in Singapore is really high and the job market is crazily competitive; almost everyone has a degree/diploma these days so what sets us apart? There is no point in splurging a huge sum on a degree that can no longer give you the advantage the previous generation preached about. Things are leveling out - it is possible for a diploma holder to have equal opportunities as degree grads, you just need to prove you are smart. Some degree grads aren't the brightest sparks around. True shocking story. That's the same for every qualification out there I guess except maybe Mensa?
I do agree that the draw of a university education is the network you can tap on but when tuition fees are astronomical, is there a point in being chained to a loan for a supposed advantage that is losing its edge?
And do I want to study something that I'm not interested in just to run society's rat run with the bondage of debt weighing down my every step? Is this how a good future should be? Is this life?
Erm... How did a happy blog post ended sounding so emo...
Was reminded of this bit in The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman:
“Kiss a lover,
Dance a measure, Find your name
And buried treasure.
Face your life,
It's pain, It's pleasure,
Leave no path untaken.”
I may be delusional but I'm still hoping that there is path in life where every step is fulfilling. An office job does not cut it, that I know for myself.
