single, unemployed

hi, i'm cheryl, i'm a student, single and unemployed. so i'm effectively the most unproductive member in society, in biological and financial ways. and i'm in the prime of my youth. the irony.

so ever since exams ended, i have spent my days idling and Idol-ing away. ok lame. and not funny. its been some 24 days since i last stepped out of the exam hall. but i have done nothing. nada. zilch. other watching Secret Garden (which is a great show btw, great spit fire dialouge, clever storyline, very good actors, HYUN BIN :D!) and Running man, eating and eating, i havent achieved anything yet. i have been furiously looking at classifieds and gumtree for jobs but apparently our unemployment rate is really low (not complaining, thank our govt for this), it is hard to find vacancies for temp/part-timers. meh!

so the elections past as well. too lazy to blog extensively about it but suffice to say that changes are really being made. people are now becoming less apathetic about politics, im a good example. but after all the election halabalo, i really hope and pray for wisdom and clarity and foresight for our leaders to make the right decisions, put the right people in the right places, to move singapore forward.

also my bday past, im now in the 'ty' club. i actually do feel abit older. maybe not older, but more more mature definitely. and also more 'adult', damn it. its kinda strange why my generation already feels old when we are supposed to be in the prime of our youth. maybe its the thought having another three-quarter or for me, 4-fifths of our lives to live that tires us. haha. but im not complaining. i cant wait to grow up, like more up, to step into the fullness of what God has prepared for me! excited! :) and also again a BIG THANK YOU for all my friends who celebrated for and with me, really appreciate it. i dont say the 3 most overrated words out loud, i really do love what you guys have added to my life. :) i would be so much lesser of who i am without y'all.

so, whats next? i will be taking korean lessons! with yinmin! yay! i cant wait for it to start. lets hope that i do have a genuine sustained interest in it. i realised that i tend to back away from things once they look hard. :( so many examples but not gonna list them, and am trying not to focus on them. i'm afraid that like many things in my life, my interest in learning korean will fizzle out like a deflated balloon and then i will be back to square one again. but isnt it stupid to be fearful of things that may not even happen? i dunno, spent a significant part of my life worrying about things like that. so im praying that this is a right step forward and one that i would really be interested in for the long run. and hopefully be adequate enough to take it in school too. and i also applied for part time at the rock bookshop with xuan. hopefully they will want me too.

and, i seem to have cultivated a strong liking for weddings. i dunno why i'm turning into this sappy, romance-hungry girl. :| anyone knows why? i was hooked, like i couldnt even bear to leave the tv set when channel 5 was broadcasting the Royal Wedding live. i was glued for 7 hours, spell bound, wanting more. haha ok drama, but i was really mesmerised by everything! and then came hei ren and fanfan's wedding. wah, i couldnt stop watching their videos also.i have this ideal picture that my relationship should last about 10 years long too and then we will be married forever.. i think im in love with the idea that despite being in the frivolous fickle entertainment industry, they were together for 10 strong years. and not once did they quarrel for a breakup. i love their childish little bickering, i love their adorable nicknames for each other (ding ding and da bi! so cute!) , i love how they are like second nature to each other, knowing exactly what the other will do in that given situation. i love how they are so different yet so complimentary. i love how despite knowing the good the bad the ugly about each other, despite the uncertain future, they still decided to take the plunge and be committed to each other for the rest of their lives. isnt love so awesome? :') i know, you never know what might happen in the future right? and i have seen so many real life examples, but still i believe that that love will happen to me and to the ones i love.

so, thats all folks. still waiting for that big bang to happen in my life, whatever it is. but looks like there is still no sign of it coming any time soon. so meanwhile, i will enjoy the ride!
