the rocky La-La Land

Some people view life as a student after a certain age as taking time-off from Reality /"normal life" to enter 'student-hood'... sounds like we are in a la-la-land or some sort.

Being a student doesnt give us immunity from all other responsibilites around us. There are bills to be paid, families to look after, datelines to be met, debts n loans to be settled etc... it simply means life resumes. Yes, life as a postgrad may appear to be kinda flexible, having space and given independence (in a way). But.. ouchhh.... these advantages are as deathly as it sounds convenient. It's a part of our battle to deal with this.

Don't misunderstand. I still love what I'm doing... and love and enjoy my time being a student :-) am aware dat everything has its ups and downs... its Just dat... sometimes, it irks me when ppl give the judging look when they discover my status - single and still studying at my age. Sometimes I'm immuned, sometimes I'm affected ;-) well, that makes me human.... and InsyaAllah... I hope will make me stronger.

Btw... here's bits n pieces from a conversation I had with a fren, a student like me... just some Nerdy talk lah...

Part 1

A: internet supposed to offer so many things but i feel nothing for them hahahha

S: yes.. thats y i want to say

S: be far away frm PC even if u r not using it for ur research. it makes u tired, better to be far from it for few days, just play with ur normal life WITHOUT PC

S: its getting impossible nowadays but when u do it u feel better. That y i said..that day, turn off my messenger and blablab

S: some times we waste many energy for just checking our emails and useless thing via the internet

A: u know, rite now i am waiting for something from email for more than a week

S: yeah same as mine

MORAL: Balance your life... say no to turning into human-species from Wall-E (too caught up with / reliance on technology that they overlook real human interaction)....

S: and u forget abt the gifts that u got

A: yes

A: and sometimes i envy ppl who r married n have kids

A: but i know it doesn’t mean life is all the time perfect when u marry n have kids

A: n doesnt mean u not happy when u r single

S: yeah

A: but since i am not in that stage, it makes me feel like i’m lacking

S (who is married): and maybe i envy of ppl who are not married

S: i say..good laa, they can just concentrate on their stuff and their research

S: no extra responsibility, no headache, no overflow

S: they can just be like a mankan think of any single dress or ...they wear

S: me like a jumble up person just jump to the dress and jump to school

A: see... this is the thing

A: human nature

A: like to be in the situation u are not in

S: i totaly understand uuuuuuuuuuuuu friend

A: maybe if now.. i am working, committed n busy bein software engineer

A: i might be thinking

A: y didn’t I further my studies and go into academics

S: so lets fight with this feeling once it comes to us

S: just STOP /PAUSE it

S: we must pause negative issue

A: yesssszz

MOral: KEy to HAppiNess.... Be ThankFul n HAppy for the gifts you already have... its Ok to want more in life... coz its good that u improve n upgrade your life... but dont push yourself to the extent you take things you already have for granted....
