Hello world?
Hey there. I don't know if anyone is reading my blog (still), since I haven't updated it for a really long time now. The next on my to-do list was actually a review on the HTC Snap I got, but I really have so much on my mind that I need somewhere to unload on, so my slackerztm serves its purpose again and that review would have to come next time.
Firstly, I have been earmarked for overseas operations for NS. Suck because I might be posted to Brunei or Thailand with the best case scenario being Taiwan. So basically I get paid 3x the $420 I get in Singapore, which amounts to ~$1 to 1.2K per month. I will then have to work a 7 day work week, do my laundry myself and potentially get bullied by regulars. I am not allowed to bring my own laptop unless I have a LOA (letter of authority). Working term ranges from 9mths to 12mths to 15mths. I will have a good chance of being sent back to Singapore for major festive seasons like CNY or maybe Christmas. Some people argue that you go for the money, but to me, $1.2k doesn't sound like a lot of money. I could make that amount of money by giving tuition if I wanted to. Secondly, people say its for the experience, which I agree. I would hugely appreciate an overseas trip to Taiwan as I have wanted to tour Taiwan - Taipei since eons ago. It would force me to manage my finance by myself abroad, like phone bills and transport costs.
However I still have my reservations. The food there is cooked by NSFs (which sucks). Place would be visited by NSFs/Regulars who come and go (and might potentially leave me a lot of trouble as a storeman as they return happily back to Singapore). I would miss my family and friends (A MAJOR CONSIDERATION, THIS).
This overseas issue has been bugging me. Officially, I do not have a choice of whether I have to go or not, but if I do not want to go, I could easily come up with an excuse for the MO.
Sigh... Enough on this depressing NS piece of news.
Someone recently talked to me again, after not talking for a long time. I don't know whether I should talk back or not, because I am torn between partly bearing this hope inside of me and being hurt again. I feel like I am just a spare tire for you. I only come in handy when you need me. I share your burdens but not your happiness.
So...
Are they flaws if I'm in love with them?
