Running on a treadmill...

... and getting nowhere fast. This pretty much sums up how I feel about my life now.

Let's see, I have friends who
1) have gotten or are going to get their Master's/PhDs;
2) have gotten married, are getting married, or are getting engaged;
3) have gotten their own apartment and are no longer living with parents;
4) have made significant strides in their careers;
5) are going overseas to work; and/or
6) have significant others.

While I am stuck here in Singapore, with none of the above. Man, I feel like such a failure. If I look at my life two years ago vs. now, nothing has changed except that I now own a car (ah Sam, the light of my life) and I no longer have to take the CFA exams.

My room is as messy as ever, I still swing from loving my job to hating it (right now, surprise surprise, I'm hating it...), my photos are still unorganised, my closet is still unorganised, I still live with my parents (!!), my social life is deader than the deadest of doornails... Yup, things sure have changed.

Anyhow, to celebrate my depressed mood tonight, I've added a new feature - a mood-o-meter. Right now, and appropriately too, it says that I am depressed.

I hereby declare that if I do not get promoted by 2005, I will quit my job and go back to school.

Aiyoh! Snap out of it! (Slap slap slap!) To cheer yourself up, just think of all the losers who are much much bigger losers than yourself! Anyway, you are only as big a loser as you make yourself out to be!

"If you can do something about it, do it! Don't worry! If there is nothing you can do about it, then don't worry, 'cos there is nothing you can do about it anyway"

hope this quote helps to motivate you to change whatever you would want to change about your life, and to enjoy whatever else you can't change.

Oh, BTW, I am definitely a much bigger loser than you. I am actually reading your blog and posting comments on it. ha ha!
