le futura

Eherm…. Heheheh sowie…. Yesterdae I was pretty HI hehehe… :p hu wldnt???? Try it… when ur crush talks to you….. u’ll go.. ‘awwwwww’ or ‘*sighhhhh* aint it great?’ :p eniweiiii hehehe… itz my Thursday… n im skipping lecture… maybe skipping another lecture tomorrow too :p ahahhaha… well2… wad I did today??

Me, mum n aunt went shopping, yeah.. again :p… itz great to shop with them.. coz they BUY things… unlike me n frenz… we only window shop… (how poor tinggg) :p erhm… I was supposed to ‘school’ but ended up playing with laptop as when I was about to set out, it suddenly rains like hell… *bumper* … see??!!! I tell u… weather is alwiz against ME going to school…. Sometimes itz too stormy n cold… sometimes its too sunny n bright to be spent in school :p OOPZZ…. Hhehehee… well itz 1st week.. no tutorial… so… wad do I lose? :D

Hm.. letz tink of something…. ‘heavy’? hehe wad do you tink of ur future is? For me, it’ll be in 3.5 years... wad would I BE after 3.5 years?? Look at me now… im still fun-seeking.. fun-lover, fun-oriented kinda person…. Maybe during examinations, im hardworking like hell… but after that???? Im as slacking as a pig can be… ask my dad in bandung… he usually ‘scold’ me for waking up ‘late’…. Daddy…. 8 o‘clock is considered dawn to me… :p hehe.. well2… itz me.. when I was working part time at ateja, I could automatically wake up at 5… less than 5 o clock in fact (indo time horrrr) hehe… but… first day im not at work, straight away, I wake up at 8 (woken up by my dad)…. *phurrr*… see the scenario??

Working life would be life-time, right? I mean… itz not like school.. which sumtimes u’ll hv half-day n no homework… working half-day means the next day, u’d have to work 1.5 times harder…. Having holidays mean ur company’s profit might go down n u wun get promoted… blhablahblah… competition is never ending, examinations are EVERpresent… cant slack at all! Projects reviewed constantly.. n each reviews must show progress… true enough that Ateja’s marketing managers are NOT that busy like what we all see in TVs or wad we hear, however, they do hold very risky responsibility… ‘competition is getting tougher.. only the strongest would survive’… wad about me? Wad would I do after graduation?

Susan is a graduate now,… looking for a job…. Fera, would be graduating next year… my frenz in indo are also graduating next year… alxner needs not worry about job.. he’d DEFINITELY get a contract once he graduated… but he also study like hell… the twins would also be graduating next year… *sigh* this time 2 frenz would be leaving Singapore…. T.T’ what would we all be after this? Childhood frenz, whom I remember playing hide n seek… throwing sands n dirt during kindergarten, girls Vs boys in primary school, girls CS boys in junior high school…. The kechottzz (twins, agnes, me, seilly, sherly, renny, ira, vivi) whom usually hv a fantasy of singing as a band (the ketchottzz band) hehehe…. THESE frienz… wad are they to be? What am I to become? Jordan’s mum becomes lecturer once she graduated.. her bro is also a lecturer now… my just-maried-cousin opens a shop in Jepara n earn quite a $... my other 2 graduated cousins are building a HOUSE for their first project after graduation n the house is finishing in September..

Finally I understand why adults alwiz say ‘hey.. never knew he’d become a doctor or wadever…’ or something like ‘he owns a factory??!! Wow… how time flies! He was only teenager when i saw him last time’ ehehe… what others would say about me when I graduate?? What job would I be doing? Is it in Indo? Haiz…. Help me think guyz…. Im stuck! If u work in indo, be prepared to be under-paid n ur knowledge is not broadened… if u work overseas, when r u gona spend time with ur parents??! U owe them a great deal, remember?! N definitely they want to spend some time with u after ur precious graduation b4 u r married of (girls) or get married (guyz)… *sigh* dun u sometime think that u’d better be born as man? No worries of losing ur parents after marriage…. Take Jordan’s mum… tho she’s married, she alwiz bring her mum here n there n sort of closer to her own mum than her in lawz… Chinese tradition is that married women belong to the in laws… no more to the birth mother… itz really sad n scary to me………………. My beloved parents would not be my parents anymore *sigh* tho I might marry the man i luv, itz juz too hard to forget about ur parents right??!! guys wouldn’t need to worry about thinking how to spend ur precious time after graduation… u’d be working, while pleasing ur parents n finding ur bride… after marriage, u’d be working, ur wife would be there for u, n ur parents are still ur parents n u could alwiz spend time with them…. Girls??? Different story……….. *sigh*…….. comment please…..:
wad do u tink ur life be after graduation? Specifically…
wad would u do after graduation?
ur family?? Job?? Marriage????

Itz case study hor… every answer is (20marks) O_o’ nata is crazy again….. :D

  • wah biang!!! hehehehe first time i see u thinking abt the future siahh!!! hahaha.. well well well.. since i see the word please comment so here it is yah...

    well for me future is getting a stable job with pay enough to help me survive.. working in indo is my last option which most probably be trying to expand my family business cos i wouldnt want to work for people... as u said it's underpaid.. i would rather make my own business... (hey people suggested i go be prima rasa distributor in sg... wanna join me?? ) one of my goal after completing my 3 years bond is to go aussie to work since work prospects for engineers is very good down there.. but im still considering... in sg i wish to work for foreign companies since the benefits is higher.. After grad work would be my priority i supposed since im not that bothered by marriage and stuff like jodoh... (when the time comes it maybe different k? hahaha since now i never really think abt it.. as i always say.. if jodoh comes then comes.. if not i wont be bothered looking for it)

    my future is getting my own house! haha well living well i suppose.. who dun want rite! haha.. i wanna work in a american company like my godbro... good pay 3500!!! hahah.. for a single, it's definitely good money! but first i must try to get attachment and prove my worth there so that who knows they would hire me after grad.. =) that's my plan for now..

    for my family, they also have come to terms and also would rather that i find work in sg or overseas rather than in indo.. becos they know of how much of a waste it would be.. i know that my dad wants me to spend more time with them and i know how much he dotes and would rather that i stay here in indo.., but im sure he would even feel proud if i can succeed overseas. dad has given the ultimatum to come home each holiday so that i can spend as much time with the family before i enter working life. ás for my part, i dunno maybe cos i've been too independent or maybe been always not so close to them so i sort of feel that im fine with living without them. defintely wont have a different feeling when im married off! hahaha.. but i dunno the time has yet to come.. when the day is here, maybe i would react differently.

    hey ger, this is 21st century... look at my cousin.. she;s still close to her family despite the face that she's married off! look at ur cousin.. u dun have to be scared... wat if (touch wood) u have scary mum in law.. wouldnt u be spending time with ur own family more... and defintely ur husband would be underrstanding.. unless u married a mummy;s boy then it would be totally a diff story.. a scary thing it may be.. see all the indo shows of those bad MIL-DIL relationship...

    udah ah sampe sini dolo yehh... huehuehuehueheuhe

  • actually, the first thing that came to my mind when i read about 'girls wouldn't belong to their parents after marriage' was a definite *raise one eye-brow* ehhh??? what century are you living in, girl???? we're educated in singapore, please, a modern society! who made the law that once you're married you must be closer to your in laws than your own parents? IF my husband ever demand that from me, i'd divorce him, man... nobody but NOBODY can take my parents away from me. if they cannot accept me being fillial and close to my parents than anyone else, then they cannot accept me. that's my belief. parents and family is number one. and husband is definitely NOT an 'initial' family member.

    secondly, about future... i know what i like to do, what i would like to do, but i also know what i should be doing, and i know what i might be doing, in the future.

    since young i've always been fascinated by arts as in drawing. as i grow older i became more specific in things that i draw, i design clothes. i would very much like to become a fashion designer, to open a boutique, to make my own clothing shop.

    but the job prospect in the fashion industry is not very promising, and i had doubt over my own creativeness, which is why i chose to concentrate more on science field. i dropped arts in sec 3, i didn't attempt to take it again in JC. as much as i would like to realise my dream mentioned earlier, i wouldn't risk my future for something uncertain. the science field looked more promising. so my aim is to get work in that area.

    after a visit to the newply-opened Biopolis, built by the pharmaceutical giant Norvatis, and given a talk by the head of the company itself, i had a new dream: to be able to work in Norvatis. or, in any case, in the life-sciences industry. i was deeply fascinated in the industry after listening to the talk. it is very interesting, and i doubt i would be underpaid because Norvatis NEEDS scientists and researchers. but looking at the rate i'm scoring my exams, i doubt i can ever take Bio course in local uni lah...

    of course if i work in Norvatis i wouldn't be going back to jakarta to live with my parents. but i have always had a dream which i promised myself i would fulfill it in the future no matter what, and that is to bring my parents out of indonesia. the country is not safe enough and i don't trust it. as soon as i can steadily support myself and my parents, i'll pull them out of jakarta straight away. i don;t want to worry about their safety if cases like 1964 riot and 1998 riots *which killed MANY chinese people* ever happen again.

    3 simple dreams... not really talking about the future, but i don't know anything about the future, don't we all? i just have dreams... and i want to make them come true ^_^ well at least the last 2 of them =)

  • Booooommmm hohohohoho heiloo haiyo tebak siapa aku???hehehe akulah si raja pemikir tulen dan tepat, dengan bantuanku semua masalah dapat diatasi dengan baik dan memuaskan whuahaha 'oink' ooink'

    I think it is alright for Natalia to think that it is better to be born as a man because what she said about the Chinese tradition thingy, that married women belong to the in laws, is correct. However, we, guys and girls alike, must neither think that women will not be as close to their natural parents after their marriages nor that we, especially girls, think too much about this problem. Instead we have to see it as a normal thing that everybody has to face in their lives, building up their own families and just live our everyday life as perfectly as possible. Personally I do not think that women must be too much affected by the fact that they will have to get close to their parents in laws after their marriages. I believe that EVERY woman can be like Jordan’s mum, still get close to her natural parents after her marriage. It can be arranged, though, for this kind of thing to be possible, such as staying close in proximity with her parents after marriage or set up weekly family gathering which I believe will do a great help to maintain the strong family bond even after we are bonded to our life-long partners. Your parents will always be there to help you and will still be your parents even after marriages. Furthermore, there are facilities such as telephone which enable us to keep in touch with our parents at all times even if they are not in the same city as you. Judging from my experience, our partners also play a great role in this matter. I remember my parents told me that their child in law can either become one of these two things for them, one is obat and the other one is, of course, racun. Thus the decision to choose our life-long partner becomes extremely important here. We have to judge very carefully what will happen after our marriages, whether our partner will accept and respect our parents the same way as they do to theirs. This problem becomes more complicated because most of the time people tend to be what they are not just to attract the other party and this may lead to problems after marriages.

    After my graduation I will work at companies and get as much experience as possible. I will then see where my career leads me to, whether I can work in big companies such that there are opportunities to get promoted to higher position that enable me to get enough payment to support my family and parents or setting up my own business are remain to be seen. However if I have to do the latter then it will be around 5 to 6 years after I start working then I will set up my own business, hopefully. The thing is we must have the courage to get out of our comfort zone. Most of us, including myself at the moment can’t see how our lives will turn out to be having to provide everything for ourselves and. We have to see how much have our parents work for us and if they can do it, why can’t we? Self-belief and self motivation are very important if we are to succeed in the future, and of course we have to have a little bit of luck along our way. I also believe that honesty and hard work are two values that every employer seek to see in their employees. Furthermore, I believe working in Indo will not be suitable for me. Although it is easier to get money in Indo than in most other cities in the world, the system here is too much “bended” that it is almost impossible for us to work comfortably without having to worry with problems which we won’t encounter if we are to work elsewhere in the other countries. Furthermore, like what Nata has said, we have to be prepared to be under-paid if we are to work in Indo. I also do not believe the rampant corruption in my country, which has been one of the root of Indonesian culture, can be alleviated in the next 5 to 10 years, although I have a slight hope that the current government can at least start the process of ‘cleaning’ up this problem. With this corruption problem still ‘merajalela’, I do not see that the racial problem, which has existed since I don’t know when, can be solved and therefore making Indo a relatively dangerous place to stay.

    About family hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cewekk Indo donkkkk!!!!Haruss whuahaha
    I also plan to bring both my parents out of Indo if possible so they can be safe as Indo doesn’t provide the safety level that I deemed as necessary for my parents and family. However I am a little bit scared having to let my children grow up outside Indo, well I am scared they will lose their ties with Indo or don’t know how to speak Indo languange and other things but I decided not to think about it as I still have time to think about it in the future hehehehehhe

    I want to stay close with all my siblings after my and their marriages. Why not have an estate that enable us to live together in different houses but same area? It may not possible though if the husbands have jobs that require them to live nearer to their respective working places, but why not have family business instead? Hehehe Well those are just some things that are still unknown to us until a few years later, aren’t they? For Nata and everybody, we have to study hard and get as much knowledge as possible for preparation to face our future. Regarding the future itself, why not we surrender it to God? God has special plans for all of us and I believe all His plans will do us good. We must never be afraid to face our future; instead we have to embrace it with enthusiasm and hope. So what I will do now and until my graduation and after that is just living each day of my life to the fullest and do things that I think are right for what I do now will determine what kind of life I will have in the future. Last but not least I believe that people made themselves unhappy by wanting comfortable life all the time. They didn’t always understand that they could be peaceful and happy if they thought only about how to be good and how to do good things (Quoted from Sidharta Gautama teaching).

    Hohohohohoho haiyo haiyo haiyo tebak siapa aku?? Tebakan yang benar akan mendapatkan hadiah menghebohkan berupa pelukan hangat oleh gua selama yang gua mao (tergantung siapa yang menang) hahaha (Duh Nataaa sorry ya kepanjangan ni comment, gak bisa stop nulis sih ni hahaha kasi nilai yah!!!

  • jawab ga tau aja de............. hehehehehe thx for the replies yoo smua... yepz... tatz rite hana... we all can only dream... everything is in God's hands, yea? *sigh* n as for marlin i tink uve got v clear vision huh?! n for uuuuuu anonymous guy... (still refuse to get the hadiah) LOL LOL LOL! u really brought up a very very good point.. the thing is... for all of us... our lives would not be 'comfortable' anywhere we live... we live in indo, it'd not be safe.. live overseas, u're far from home... tho u bring ur parents... what about relatives?? wad about ur parents? would they agree?? by the time u get them out of Indo they're already aging.. they might just want to stay in Indo n get closer to their own siblings, relatives n homeland... as for future kids... yupz... they might lose their uniqueness as all of us... the chinese-indoz... we think we're cool, eh? i think we are.. :p hehehehe chinese, but speak very cool, unique indo language.. some of us even speak chinese dialects AND indo dialects! :D itz really something we should preserve..... so?

    ow.. about the marriage... yupz.. we live in 21st cent.. but my family (esp from dad) is really2 'toto' u know.... keep traditional values n customs... well2... jordan's mum, tho mingle with her own mum so much, her name is CHANGED liaooooo..... how would u feel? ur given name, the one that u once proud to announce it... now somehow 'changed'...

    itz quite true, tho, u should not be spending ur time too much with ur own parents.. coz u WUN have time to make ur in-laws ur parents.. got wad i mean? if u dun mingle around with them, only see them occasionally, how on earth can u call them PARENTS? n how would ur spouse feel? ofCOZ I would want my husband to call my parents MUM N DAD... (truly n sincerely) n definitely he would want me take his parents MY parents too....

    hm... about the 'our parents can do it, why cant we do it'.... we live at different era!! sooner Indo would not be a gold-mine to the hardworker or oportunity-seeker... future is really unsure, eh?! sometimes I really hope i was a guy... im more responsible than my bro, i care for my family more, n I do want to continue the family business... guys would not need to marry so early... -_-' n they would still keep their own proud name... well2...
