heyyyyyyyyyyy.
2015's been a pretty fulfilling year so far but i kinda like the feeling.
it's a different kind of busyness that you feel and hence the adrenaline rush you get from being packed feels pretty rewarding.
i guess i've been trying a lot of new things this past month.
be it work-wise or leisure time, i guess life does have its perks now :)
i've been trying out many jobs and i think i kinda ruled out many of my future career options already.
and here they are.
1) any outdoor job
any of such that requires a decent amount of walking and fitness - please don't you ever come and find me. i hate any sort of things that have got to do with physical fitness. i nearly died on the job of "forest-trekking" and i am quite thankful i ceased my outdoor work. it definitely isn't my cup of tea as you all know.
2) marketing
i'm not the kind with the best verbal persuasion skills around and i'm not too fluent in conversational chinese. i just don't really have that extra "aha!" when it comes to promoting a good. furthermore it would be hard for an introvert like me to survive this kind of environment. though i am inclined towards written english but speaking it is a different story especially when it comes to convincing others. guess i'd be trampled over and out in this field so no thanks.
3) f&b/service
i wouldn't wanna venture into this industry in the future unless i'm running the place itself. i don't think i would enjoy work if i had to endure a mediocre pay that didn't put my brain to good use. i'm not too good with common-sensical things and i tend to forget how to physically operate things too. i don't have a knack for hands-on things so getting me to fix this and that with my hands just somehow doesn't connect with my brain. f&b and the service line requires a hell lot of physical fitness too - which is something i kinda lack. it's not that i don't enjoy holding a meaningful yet casual conversation with customers, but to do something like this everyday would mean that my brain will probably degenerate quicker than usual. i like interacting with people but not too much. introverts meh.
so yup. after all the jobs that i've undertaken the past month, i've certainly ruled out/will avoid venturing into these areas in the future.
it's not a form of complaint about my previous jobs but rather just an introspective self-evaluation that everyone needs to have occasionally.
i think post-tertiary education is a great time to explore all the career options available out there.
post-tertiary education is really the time of transition between academics and work, between spending and saving, between time and money.
i think this period has endowed me with many amazing opportunities to learn something out there that the classroom could never teach me.
such learning though, can be much riskier than the conventional pen-and-paper tests back in schools, but it's so much more experiential and enriching.
you learn so much more out of each new thing you embark on and i think sometimes it teaches you not just about your surroundings (and the true world), but you also begin a self-discovery journey along with yourself.
sometimes i guess sticking to your primitive comfort zone isn't entirely good.
let 2015 be the year to try new things and learn great lessons!
trying new things.
i cannot forget about - trying new music.
ever since sec 3 my love for dbsk has died down and i've never once returned to the world of k-pop.
i've always been an intermittent being of the k-pop realm who is constantly phasing in and out of it.
nothing beats classic english songs but sometimes your inner self wants to search for an alternative and there it is - k-pop.
honestly i think people who diss k-pop are quite stupid.
okay it's not that i am a holy saint who has never once insulted k-pop but seriously give it a chance.
you know how people always say that the world is so huge that you'll definitely find a place for yourself?
same goes to the k-pop world, you'll definitely find something that suits your taste.
i mean what's so bad about it.
okay maybe some really can't sing or that the music is so auto-tuned and computerized it doesn't even sound authentic anymore.
but i think you gotta give credit to k-idols (and maybe even any artiste out there) for their superb, synchronized and almost robotic dancing skills.
music will always be music, it is a universal language transcending all language barriers.
i think 2015 really made me open my eyes to see why i have "fallen back into the bottomless pit of k-pop again".
to put it in a positive perspective, it's not just about the same-old mindless fangirling and obsession, but rather, embracing a whole new world of music and opening my eyes to experience a tantalizing, flavourful culture. :-)
(ON A SIDE NOTE, EXO IS AMAZEBALLS. I SWEAR. IT'S LIKE THESE 12 DANCING AND SINGING GODS DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN OUT OF NOWHERE)
(growl is my favourite choreography omg what even this madness ^)
okay i shall not get carried away and start spitting out excessive fangirl lingo.......... so bye for now!!!
internship tomorrow yay i'm really happy :-))))))))))))
looking forward to work is probably one of the best things in life that can happen to you.
KYUNGSOO'S HEART-SHAPED LIPS DATS RIGHT :-)))))))))
