convocation is overated.
everyone else is excited over it.
except me.

//For a friend//

朋友之间的利用有底限，朋友互相的扶持无极限

there is only so much you can help someone,
the rest is up to them to figure it out.

unlike science or maths, there are many things in life with grey areas.
or should i say, in imbalance.
what is friendship?
the extent which you are willing to go for a friend and the extent your friend is willing to go for you, is definitely different in the eyes of both you and your friend.
some people befriend others with just a few words.
others do not consider you a friend unless you have been through much with them.
some people pay much consideration and tolerance towards their friends
while others go all out to take advantage of their friends.

sometimes, we ought to protect our own interest if the need arise.
it's better to say certain things outright than harbour unhappiness in your heart,
unless you can wholeheartedly accept them, but being human, it's difficult.
when the things that you do for a friend becomes a sword that cuts backwards,
you need to stop hurting yourself.
the stronger she is, the weaker you'll seem.
unless you have the strong mentality to counter it,
it's better to back off for the time being.

It's time to regain your confidence.
So that you will emerge stronger in your mindset.

Life is like a rat race; we all run in different paths.
if you happen to run in the same path as someone else,
treat it like a boardgame.
There is more than 1 way to win,
if you are willing, there can be no clash of interest
and nobody knows for sure who will win,
until the final piece is in place.

//when simple wishes are hard to fulfil//

当梦想一次一次被打碎，希望一次一次破碎时，回头问自己到底在坚持什么。。。


Some people make the transition faster than others, some cautiously approach it.
Some people dive into it without thinking where the future lies for them, others tediously plan a long road only to find themselves losing track.
A career is for life, there may be trial and error, doors might shut you out but at the same time new doors may open unknowingly, I guess that's the beauty of it. Its unpredictable characteristic.
A company is basically an organization of people, the mystifying thing is that these people ought to have different skills or individual qualities that make each of them unique, yet it is required that they are able to work together peacefully and cooperatively.
The irony of things go further into the specifics.
An engineer is expected to follow all the rules and regulations, fulfil customer requirements and specifications, yet also able to think out of the box to resolve issues and problems in a simplest, most efficient manner.
Another irony?
A manager needs to ensure the lowest cost for the company and the highest value for the customer.
Having said all that, it seems work is all about overcoming challenges and pushing oneself further.

Job interviews are akin to the story of the blind describing an elephant by touching it, with the roles of the interviewer and interviewee being exchangeable.
you might just happen to touch the part that's pleasant (perhaps the flappy ears) or the part which is unpleasant (the sharp tusks).
Gut feeling plays a major role, even though we know how 'accurate' it usually is.

Anyway, leading the life of a 无业游民 was a welcome break from all the mugging that was done during the past 16 years.
Even though I cannot say that I was the most conscientious student but at the very least, it wasn't easy to go through the whole education process.
If given a choice, I would want to change some parts of 'history' to make it more ideal but i guess that's life, some things you can't just undo it with a wave of your wand.

Everyone has a vision of a perfect life, some people can easily achieve it, some just have to make more effort.


用别人的欢乐来娱乐自己，用虚拟的感动来安慰自己，茫然的问自己存在的意义。
Sigh. It's time to get out of this kind of life and pursue that unreachable vision.
