Posts that i have to remind myself to write
Yes, some of the titles include:
Since it's been so long since i've wanted to blog about it, so i supposed i've lost a lot of the content in they're all lying in some little brain recycle bin corner. So the shortened version..
- Reasons not to buy a Fiat Punto
Gear transmission of an auto car feels like a manual car. Unless of course you love headbanging in your car while the auto car changes gear everytime. Yes the jerk is that bad. Delay in feedback which makes the drive worse than even my Picanto. I think it's one of those few times which i can truly say in triumph that my car is better than a continental car for a real good reason.
- The inequality in disability
That even when you're disabled, the amount of money you have determines how truly 'disabled' you are (in the physical sense) and i feel that it's so sad. Just imagine that should you (hypothetically) and someone else with tons of money both get injured in the same way at the same time, recover at the same rate, etc, but obviously with more money it allows the other person to be a lot more functional than you are. Of course perspective and attitudes matter, but if you were more functional i suppose it'll be easy to be happier?
- Life and its course
People keep asking me so what do i plan to do after i graduate? And the answer that i give is, i'm not very sure. I hate it when i say that and how people start thinking oh gosh this is another girl who just frivolously leads her life and hasn't decided what she wants in life. But the truth is i don't really quite wanna bother them with telling what my actual plans or dreams are. As i get closer to my graduation date, the more i feel like i'm supposed to say oh i'm gonna be a educational psychologist or counsellor or whatever. But it's such a big field and there's so much more to explore. It's not like when you major in civil engineering and then graduate i suppose there's pretty much limited options that you can do with your degree, unlike psych. With it's scary multitude of options, which along with it brings some scary questions like, what if i never quite find my niche in psych that i really want to do? And then i go jobhopping from one psych area to another. Is it really that bad to not know where you're going next? I don't really want to just grab onto the bus simply because it is going somewhere, i may not end up in a place i like and then what? You plod along like everyone who doesn't love their job til you hit a mi-life crisis (if you're lucky) and realise that the job sucks and you've wasted a decade doing something you don't enjoy or worse continue plodding on along your life and start questioning what have you done with your life besides work and pay rent. I hope i don't get to that day when i just wait for my paycheque just to be happy with what i'm doing.
It seems so much that the next proper step i should take is be a psychologist because it's the correct path to take. Sigh, just a random rant, which i don't think i'll get an answer for, not immediately anyway.
- The broadband generation and the instant gratification
Was reading a newpaper article the other day and realised how much this is true. Instead of accepting that certain things in life don't happen in a blink of an eye, people expect that life like the internet happens in a flash. We're no longer as patient and when things don't happen within a certain alloted timeframe, we get angry and start hissing. I do wonder if people before were more patient as opposed to our generation. Or perhaps it's that they were more understanding of others instead of the 'me me me' mentality. *shrugs* sigh.
Time to head back to sleep or do something constructive with my day. I can't wait for the Timbre event to be over. It's scary how crazy the prep was. But now we know better! Pray for good weather on Saturday, windy cool balmy weather good for walking and shopping!
