I bet you'll be swimming in the shrek suit if you wore it in Singapore for 1 hr.

You have a great job! I would be glad to ...Hey LP,<br /><br />You have a great job! I would be glad to exchange places with you and I am saying this sincerely.<br /><br />As you know, I do a bit of tuition and I was teaching. I really enjoy teaching but we might not always be able to do the things we enjoy. Such is life. :(<br /><br />I don't know if I still care about what people think of me these days but I think I am less affected than before. <br /><br />Some people look at me and say "Wah, you have a good life hor?" and if these are people who matter to me, I might explain to them why my life is not all that good. Most, of the time, I just smile and say something desultory.<br /><br />When I first got into NUS, a neighbour asked me which faculty I got into. When I told him "Arts and Social Sciences", he paused for a while as if trying to find the right words before consoling me, "Never mind lah, can get in is good enough."<br /><br />I could have been in Law with my grades and I went to NUS on a PSC scholarship. Did I bother to tell him just to wipe that look of pity off his face? No. I didn't think he mattered in my life.<br /><br />Life is short. Time is limited. Having a job we truly enjoy is a blessing and you are blessed. :)AK71https://www.blogger.com/profile/16832145412062954289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37872616.post-49861163155875819452010-09-12T08:55:11.867+08:002010-09-12T08:55:11.867+08:00When you completed your in-camp training, will you...When you completed your in-camp training, will you still pay tax?Createwealth8888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08563834016250153049noreply@blogger.com
