Lazing

On a Saturday afternoon (and a hot one at that), there are not a lot of things one can do; here I am, in front of the comp, updating my blog...

Was surfing the Net for various reasons; was deciding whether to take the module on World Englishes in Year 4 (that is, if its available...). Speaking of which, the list of modules aint gonna be out till end of the month, so in the meantime, I could jolly well fantacise about myself scoring all A pluses for all my remaining 10 modules and get a high Second Upper Honours haha... yeah dream on...

Anyone who is approaching the final year of his/her education journey worries about the prospects of employment; those who are going to graduate with a general degree, or with a degree that is not seen to be "hot" / "in" / favoured by the ruling elite seem to suffer a slight disadvantage, in terms of employment opportunities and salary. For an Arts graduate, it could be more daunting, since the chances of doing something totally unrelated to what you have studied is high (unless you turn to the "holy" MOE) ; that is something that I originally wanted to pursue, but I'm not sure now. Speech therapy is another option, but it could be at risk because of the low-margin returns. Not that I'm a gold digger, but I foresee having a hard time returning my Uni fees to my Dad if I'm taking home less than $2k a month even after finishing my ST Masters... So how? I have one more year to make a decision; actually less than that, because application for MOE is around Feb-March I think...

梁静茹 has, in my opinion, progressed quite a lot the past couple of years; however, I still remember this old favourite of hers. Gives me a lot of kick just "screaming" away the lyrics whenever I bath (with no one in the house of course haha), or when I'm just in my room. Hence, I downloaded this song, and I'm still crazy over it!!!!!

现在也只能欣赏
唯一的合照一张
淡忘了的是那个街角
想念的是当时的微笑

*生活中交错失望
越想念就越孤单
若再被寂寞迎头赶上
多感伤原来只是正常

你是不是也在品尝
一个人的咖啡和天光
是不是也忽然察觉到
多出时间看天色的变换

#如果有一天 我们再见面
时间会不会倒退一点 --> This is the 1st "kick"...
也许我们都忽略互相伤害之外的感觉
如果哪一天 我们都发现
好聚好散不过是种遮掩 --> This is the 2nd "kick"...
如果我们没发现就给彼此多一点时间 (* ##)

Picked up the latest Simple Plan single a couple of weeks ago on the TV screens at Cineleisure; fell in love with it immediately, and here it is:

I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

#How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t (##)

Signing off........ I believe, 会有一天， my career choice will no longer be Untitled.....
