Slacker's Blues

3 years ago, I started on a job that can put me through my wishes to graduate with a degree.

But after it began, I hoped for the working cum studying days to be gone as each day passed by with weariness, tilting the scale of a balanced life.

Alas, exams are near. I had counted down for nearly a year to the faithful day I tendered my resignation letter.

2 months ago, I commence a full swing revision. A pure student - nothing could be better.

But after it began, I hoped for the stressful days of memorising texts that I could not absorb to be over.

Alas, exams are over. I finally can put aside all work and books.

12 days ago, I focused on fully immersing myself in the joy of true blue slacker.

But after it began, it turned out that the days I most looked forward to are the worse period to pass. It would be better if I have spare cash. No news for job applications. Days sped as I whacked dramas night after night. Euro 2008 night after night. And slept days after days. I used to long for the days I can resume my RPG games on my PS2. Now that I am free to do so, I steer clear of them, because for the state I am in now, gaming would only subconsciously convince me that their world is the real world.

Next I hope for the days that I get employed again.

Solution always creates a new problem. Parts and parcels of life? I say life is a vicious cycle.

Quote from Sumiko Tan - Straits Times
When a dream comes true, you don't always get the happiness you thought would come with it; Happiness is not something you can feel every moment of the day; Happiness comes in small doses, so just be grateful for that; It's pointless to wish for a Big Happiness because it won't happen; Perhaps happiness is overrated.
