2013 was definitely an eye opener for me. For the better and yet the opposite, for the worse.

It's been quite some time since I've typed down my thoughts in this space, always blaming time for everything but guessed nows a good time for it.

Like all average Singaporean guys, I've finally served 2 years of National Service as of Aug 2013. A sense of achievement ever since I've graduated from RP and yet there's always a feeling which sets me thinking: What's next?

They always say studies will get you further in life, but that's their opinion. Everyone has different perspectives and anyone tend to be influenced by what everyone's saying, but yet it's a good thing which is then regarded a norm for everyone. Study? Work? Definitely the latter cause I'm very sure that's what my parents would want me to pursue: Studies.

I've tried my luck in getting a job but it always seems not to work out for me. Location. Monetary. Expectations. To be honest, I feel jaded. "What have you been doing since ORD?", a question which always makes me ponder for awhile and yet keeps me thinking.

A penny to my thoughts.

With that, I'm very grateful to be doing what I've been doing thus far, even though it might not be something which I will be doing for a long term, but it's the people which keeps me going on. The pros would definitely outweigh the cons; getting home late, tired the following day and it goes on but I'm grateful. I'm grateful for I've met the greatest people and not forgetting the least greatest people. Technically the least greatest people can be ignored.

"Friends are families you choose".

A cliché phrase and yet it holds a deep meaning to it. It's like seeing a flower behind a tree. I'm very grateful for that. I'm grateful for I've met friends who are there when in need, friends who are there to lend a shoulder, friends who are there to lend a ear, friends who are there for advices; the list goes on and on.

Cut short, I'm happy. I'm happy for I've a great family anyone can ask for and friends cherished like a nut in a shell. Through ups and downs, through sorrows and wallows. Lifetime, definitely.

Looking forward to 2014 as of every other year, just better. I hope it will and I know it will.
