Yesterday as I was seated in Lasalle, I suddenly felt a gush of nostalgia hit me as I remembered the fact that I'm no longer a student of any college anymore. I have just entered the workforce and am already beginning to be consumed by it. And also of coz, I felt a tinge of regret for graduating from School of Engineering without actually developing a proper interest in it, in the 4 years I spent scouring through books, guides and whatnot in the institute I wanted to so belong to since forever. I never actually seriously gave thought to what I wanna to do with my life per se and always went with the flow. As in, I have always had the destination in mind. I just hadn't figured out to route to get there and learnt about what I'm good at (if at all). And the groups of students who passed by me only made me think how different life would have been if I actually ended up in SMU or let alone NYP.
So anyways, back to work as much as I used to tell myself that I will not allow myself to be consumed by work, I've to admit that I drowned in it for the past 3 weeks. Maybe that's why, this break was a much needed one for me to be back in touch with myself. And of coz, the timing could not have been any better. Who knew life as a grown-up would be this difficult a path to walk through. And to be honest, I've just discovered the path. Wait till I actually start walking though. Sigh. On a side note, the only plus about work life is that my non-office hours are solely mine. No catalogues, drawings, calculations to make sense of. For now at least. Till we meet again, keep me alive. |
