It have been 12 years since my last post. Yet I am surprised I am still able to find my blogspot back. Hope everyone is faring well so far.
It has been almost 3 years since COVID-19. I guess lots of things have changed. From the generation we're in all the way till currently Generation Beta.
Most of us are either married or have started their own family. And some of us are like me waiting for the right one. Having to face relatives with their classics questioning of when you're going to marry, when are you getting a gf etc. Hope you'll are having a great holiday for non Chinese and for my Chinese reader Happy CNY to you and your family.
There are so much things that had happened and I do not know where should I starts from, Based on my last post, 2011 I went to ITE college to studying what I have always been interested since young 'Pastry & Baking'. I enjoyed the 2 years and met different peoples. Peoples from the East and West. It might be just me but people can behave differently, I was surprised as I wasn't able to click with them. I guess probably during my childhood I have never leave Central area of singapore. Call me a frog in the well so be it, After completing my internship I came to realized that I was just a hobby and interests for me, I don't foresee myself working in the industry for the rest of my life. After my ITE college I worked in Sakae Sushi till my enlistment date for National Service,
When I am enlisted, I got back with my First Love as I witness her unweaving attitude and efforts in wanted to be back with me, I was touched and we spent close to 2 years till things didn't turned out the way we wanted, We broke up during my overseas training to thailand. To be honest, based on her thinking she expects me to be busy with training that I will forget her. But the reality is that I was not able to concentrate on my training at all, I admit that I cried and loss of appetite, thinking back how silly I am. 1 of the most deeply craved into my memories will be me arriving back to singapore from my training at 2am. after taking taxi back to home it was roughly 3am. I slept for 2 hours and woke up again to prepare myself to meet her and talk things out, Apparently I lost my SIM cards hence I am unable to contact her, so I ended up waiting under her block and send her to work. During the way to work her soon to be bf was waiting for her too, While I sit outside looking at her working and flirting with one another .To be Honest it wasn't bearable. You must be thinking why the hell do I do that upon myself. I can only response with. I guess I was stupid and trying to prove I still mind about her, But Sadly that is not the way to go. I sat for around 4hrs till The mobile store is open so I can get my SIM card replaced. Afterward it is another 4hrs till her mum was here to pick her up. Probably she can't remembered but It was loud and clear that she said to me "Just because my parents favours you doesn't mean You Won". Wow, It stings isn't it? I choose to silently followed her and I can't recalled the rest,
At last during her 21st Birthday party. Soo much things happened that I will go straight to the point. After she was drunk she told me "How I wish I haven't met you". Let me clarify that she was drunk at that point of time afterward I carried her back to chalet house. [You can interpret which ever way you preferred] but I believe in when drunk the truth comes out. Perhaps she didn't realized it that she says it out loud. that was when my hearts died. Afterward was just a struggling night to get by and once we checked out from chalet. I chose to disappeared from her life, for the better of Me and her.
Looking back I believe I could have done things better, As much as it hurts that She has a change of hearts, I blame myself for not being more caring and loving, If I were to be back I am confident I will be able to remedy my past mistake, Well.. As much we can looked back there is nothing we can do about but learned from it and grows to be a better person.
Life as an NSF was great too. As physical and mentally draining it can be. As much people whom said NS is a waste of time. To me it's an experience I wouldn't forget and gave it away. To all the people I met during the 2 years. If I were to redo my NSF I would still choose to be in the same company in BMT, same vocation and company as I am right now. Although when I ORD, during to under demand I got separated from my platoon mates. Damn... I truly missed the time I spend with you guys especially during our admin time, we gather together to play bridge, hearts, werewolves, saboteur, so much more. I truly enjoyed it. Although most of you'll are in relationship and perhaps started family. It would unlikely for us to make it work again but nonetheless I will always be in deep in my memories.
For the next 5 years I try to do better and be a better person I am, as compared to the younger me, be it mentally or psychologically. There comes Covid-19 and I believe everyone in the worlds has had a hard times with plans and goals being disrupted.
Life as an adult is differents. As much as pros and cons. I would say I prefer to be an adult. Although there are things that are unpleasant but I get to have more freedom and decision as compared to being a teenager. Sometimes memories of me being in secondary school, nsf came flashing back, as much as I missed the times, at the end of the day I got to wake up and continue moving forward.
So much to write for the past 12 years. Ups and downs but I get this will be it. I will try to update my blog as frequent as I am able to. Probably I should do some editing for my blog homepage hopefully I am still able to recall how to do it. That will be all. Goodnight folks. See you'll soon!
