Sleeping Dragon or Lazy Pig

For years, I have indulged myself with the thought that $$ is not important to me. Why do I have to work so hard to get so much $$ which I can never bring away with me when I pass? This "motivation" kept me from having any real targets in life.

Since young, I have always follow the flow. Primary, then Secondary, then Mum say JC good, so go JC. Study What? "Take the one that earn a lot of $$ lor!" My mum advised with a motherly nag. haha... So I took a science stream and graduated with a not bad result. What's next? Army,.. then Uni.... what to take in uni ar? Eh,.. seems like computer very interesting leh... I like doing website leh.... i like programming (%Y HTML so simple!?) so maybe they will teach me all sorts of programming($^&#*%$). End up in a course that teaches me 90% of the stuff which I not using at all.

So I graduated with 2nd Class Upper.. wooo... but shit... wats wrong? I cant find a job? Where are all the jobs? Luckily, I found one 5 months down the road... Whew,.... am I glad that I did. But something is wrg, I m constantly working... hrs and hrs after office hrs and lotsa weekends.... something just aint rite..... So I switched a job. Yeah, the hrs are beta, the pay is beta, *but definitely nt the company I had in my previous* Still I wasnt happy. Apparently, I was working for a not so nice to work with boss.

So Y did I work? Like a fren who tell me, "To find a purpose in life". Hmm... I think that purpose is not important to me. I am just working becuz I need to. I would rather just be spending my time sitting at the kopi tiam with my xing ming ri bao, my teh tarik and my good friends ard to talk cock. Just like when I was young. Its what I enjoy most in life (Rem abt my Nakama Entry?). Ha, I am a lazy pig u can say that. However, I realise that I am starting to lose my time for these as I work. I started to realise that I am falling into a rat race. Reality sets in baby, $ is impt afterall.

I need $ not becuz I can buy a car, a house, or spend on expensive holidays.
I need $ becuz I dun wanna be in a debt.

These sounds a bit oxymoron, but if u look at them, u will realise that many a times, liabilty just sets in, whether u wan it or not.

Rather than being in a race to clear my debt which i know its coming, why not be in a race to get outta it? Its more rewarding. U know more of how the world works=D I realise that in these 2 months, I have learnt more useful and interesting stuff that I ever had learnt in my entire life=D

I wan more $ becuz I wan my freedom back.
The Sleeping Dragon or Lazy Pig has awaken.

Yup, wealth can bring you freedom. Freedom to spend more time with your loved ones.

Either work hard now, or work hard for the rest of your life till 62. I heard they will make it 65.
